Yesterday in the Athens Target, I overheard the following:

"I don't understand why we all have to come back for work week. I've already gone through it twice."

I restrained myself from telling the girl how it was back in the day, with full-frills rush with two rounds of musical skits, head-to-toe completely matching costumes for three of four rounds, including matching bridesmaid dresses for Pref. Did I mention cleaning out bourbon barrels for the Pirates of Penzance skit? Building a dock in the basement? Matching bridesmaid dresses? In blue dotted swiss? Trying to find capri pants in the 80's for the Wiz skit? Having to run out for new shoes after failing shoecheck, due to wearing them down practicing the dances? Buying another Lanz, Malia, or Lily sundress in August because someone else bought one the same pattern as you, on the day that panhellenic rules forbade us from matching?

Oh - there was a quickchange in the Chorus Line skit. We wore regular practice leotards on stage, then changed to gold lame' and ran out into 90 degree heat for the final porch song. I always made it, but sometimes my shoes didn't.
