Salutations to one and all,
SO MUCH IS HAPPENING!
Oh my goodness, it is crazy right now y'all. But a great kind of crazy. I'll begin at the beginning and when I come to the end I'll stop (paraphrased Lewis Carroll quote, in case you're curious). Anyway, so we had a run through last Sunday which started out rather sluggishly. Adam had just come from closing Sense and Sensibility, Genesis was rehearsing for two shows, and Maia was swamped with work and school work. Everyone was there physically, but not mentally. Totally understandable. Totally happens. After the second time through the show, Mack asked if he could lead the cast in a focusing exercise. I won't get into the specifics, but good golly gracious me was there a difference afterwards. Everyone was in the zone, making discoveries, finding new ways to make the script and the characters their own. It was our most productive and satisfying rehearsal to date.
Then.
THEN.
Yes, there is a then.
Then, we began company run throughs on Monday where we divided into our panels and rehearsed transitions. For the first time we got to see how The Three Snap Shoe Swap would fit in with the other two shows in Panel B (The Last Person on Earth and The Golden Raspberry). These rehearsals were also very helpful for firming up lines and blocking. I can see the cement beginning to harden as we plunge head first into Tech Rehearsal on Saturday and Dress on Sunday.
I'm so excited for everyone to see these shows (and also see Panel A cuz all the One Acts are a hoot and half...well, I mean you might cry during one or two but you'll also laugh so it's fine).
Until next time,
an increasingly-impatient-for-opening-night playwright
