What a busy week I have had! I had Stamp Club on Tuesday and Thursday; Wednesday I did a Card Tin class that ended up lasting 5 hours (but we had a good time!). Wednesday night I celebrated my nephew's 21st birthday at Carolina Ale House with family and friends. Last night, I volunteered at the Davidson Players production of "Don't Cry for Me, Margaret Mitchell." I worked the box office - which consisted of checking people's name off as they arrived and giving them their tickets. I was able to see the play after I closed the box office. It was an interesting play. Here's a brief synopsis of the story:
In "Don't Cry for Me, Margaret Mitchell," it's spring 1939, and the public is eagerly anticipating the release of "Gone With the Wind." Actors are on set; cameramen are standing by, and the bills are piling up for one of the most expensive movies ever made. The only problem? The script is a stinker!
Legendary Hollywood producer David O. Selznick grabs his new director Victor Fleming, famed scriptwriter Ben Hecht and his loyal secretary Miss Peabody, and locks himself and them in his office, ordering cases of bananas and peanuts for "brain food" until they have a new script. To make matters even more complicated, Ben Hecht has never read the novel, so Selznick and Fleming frantically act out key scenes while he types.
It's a wild and exhilarating ride as Selznick and his team race to meet their deadline and save the epic movie from becoming an epic flop. A comedy, "Don't Cry for Me, Margaret Mitchell" celebrates not just the effort, but the enormous risk that goes into creating a great work of art.
"Selznick really was losing money every day; the pressure was truly mounting, and all signs pointed to very real failure. But they succeeded - wildly succeeded!
I have been having fun using the Sleigh Ride thinlets. Here is another card I made below with a second image of a close up of the circle part.. .
