SCRAPPING ACROSS THE UNIVERSE #5

This is really different style for me - but the subject dictated it! Here's the challenge. I felt challenged to scrap a part of my career I dislike - the lead up to 'Curtain Up' .......taking the colour out of the photo gave a coldness creating the mood.......its pre-production time- the details that take well into the night, night after night............the perfectionism that will end up delighting the audience .........and the nervousness and overwhelm-ness I feel to the pit of my stomach right up until the curtain opens............no it doesnt open on me.......it opens on escape, while I'm in the darkness with headsets on, watching and directing every sound and movement like a cat on a hot tin roof
