A day in the life of a Plaid
*Please note: this is the beginning of the Twelve Days of Plaid- check back everyday between now and Dec. 5 (Opening Night!) for a special blog about Neptune’s holiday musical, Plaid Tidings. Happy reading! (Or should that be plaiding…?)
A day in the life of a Plaid
– or –
A Stupendous, Tremendous, Real Good, Very Plaid Day
by Jeff Moulton, “Jinx”
7:30 – Wake up and immediately hit snooze
7:35 – repeat
7:40 - repeat
7:45 – repeat..
8:00 – Breakfast of Champions (fresh squeezed orange plaid, 3 egg plaidlette, shortstack of plaidcakes, 1 or 2 other breakfast puns depending on the day)
8:30 – Vocal warm-up – as the high-tenor Plaid I’ve got to be in good voice!
9:00 – Walk to theatre with extra time given for stop at Starbucks or Uncommon Grounds for one of their fantastic scones
9:15 – Silently try to fit the word Plaid into scone…
9:19 – Resign myself to ‘plone’
10:00 – Begin rehearsal with music – each harmony line played by itself and then we begin layering the others in over-top. A slightly tedious process but you can’t argue with results!
11:30 – Short break where I ask the other Plaids if they want a bite of my ‘plone’
11:31 – Awkward moment
11:45 – Begin staging the musical numbers we just learned. If we’re really ‘on our plaid’ we have familiarized ourselves with these scenes the night before. Holding our scripts so we can write down the blocking and any prop notes, we talk through each scene and song making sure everyone is accounted for. Once we’ve got everything down on paper, we attempt to run it all with music, props, and choreography…
It falls apart; too much to remember on the first go-around.
Second attempt…
Absolutely flawless!…
delivery of my first three lines… less than stellar after that.
1:30 – Break for lunch
1:40 – Receive my tall ‘1-pump mocha tazo chai’ at starbucks after several attempts to order a ‘tall 1-Plaid mocha tazo Plaid’
1:50 – Actual food from Pete’s Plaid-tique or Pita Plaid… or maybe a home-made Plaidwich
2:30 – Back to work – more staging. Choreography increases in difficulty with addition of microphone chords.
4:30 – Make it through all 4 songs we’ve learned that day with choreography and only loop myself around Adam’s mike chord once!
5:00 – Get a jump start on the music for tomorrow…
5:30 – Rehearse the ‘hand-bell section’ of act II… The bells won’t arrive until next week so we practice the motions with empty, upside down coffee cups – we sound incredible.
6:00 – End of day at the theatre
6:30 – Dinner with the word Plaid in it somewhere…
7:00 – Review everything we did today and make sure it’s properly notated; this Plaid is also the dance-captain…
8:00 – Look over tomorrow’s material
8:30 – Write this blog!
9:00 – Add in the Extreme Plaid-splosion Contest!
Send in your favourite holiday meals with the word Plaid expertly inserted…
The most creative entry will win a FREE Signed Poster for Plaid Tidings!
10:00 – silently pray for full houses and Plaid on Earth.

Jewel tones, satin tones and topaz colors, rich amethyst ton
es, softer ruby tones, colors are all disappearing from the
sample closet and are the most favored colors. Wide leg trou
sers IN, stovepipe is acceptable when you don”t want to loo
k too exaggerated. Everyone likes white ceramic nail polish.
Lip-gloss is out, lipstick is IN.
