Part 1. Sunny, Mel, and Shari learn they are going to New York to perform a play off Broadway and are really excited about it.

Being a small troupe, we unseen members had to wear many hats. Unfortunately, there was just the two of us, Joe Donnally and myself. Joe was a veteran, he had been in the industry over 20 years and knew all there was to know about lighting and sound. So basically, he was the guy in the booth pushing the buttons and I was the guy trying to keep things organized backstage. My background in electronics came in handy at times and Joe taught me a lot when time permitted. Of all the positions required, mine was the least important. But I didn't care, I was happy to be part of the experience.
Joe, myself, and two carpenters that build the sets for us left a week early to get everything ready for when the rest of the troupe arrived. The set consisted of two basic scenes that could easily be changed from a living room to a restaurant/club without too much effort. Most of it depended on the lighting effects and that was Joe's specialty.
There wasn't a whole lot for me to do the first couple of days while Joe and the carpenters worked out the design and how to do it. So I took the time to do some prop shopping. This was one of my favorite parts of the job. I was born to shop.
Joe and I were rooming together and I hoped that my desire to dress sometimes would not be a problem. On the first day, he was up and gone early. On his way out the door, he asked my plans and I told him that I'd be looking for some props. He said he wouldn't be back until after 6:00PM because he wanted to visit some of his local friends when he was done at the theater.
When I heard that my mind started racing with my crossdressing desires since it looked like I would have the day to myself. I showered and made sure I was smoothly shaven in those special places. As I was blow drying my hair, I realized that I was glad I let my hair glow out because it is so much easier than relying on a wig all the time.
