thoughts ONE MONTH to go...

Today marked one month before opening night.

We've made some solid progress, especially in light of a tricky rehearsal schedule spanning a zillion activities and spring break. I've loved seeing the comedy start to come alive and your creativity jump out (sometimes literally!) Some moments are absolutely brilliant. And some are ... lurchy. It's time now to "connect the dots" and work through the rough edges. Make or break time is now!

A great show requires attention to details and solid rehearsals. So much of what we do performance-wise only happens after you put the script down, are sure of the text, and can really focus on the words, people and action around you on the stage! That's when what we do really clicks and becomes so addictive -- err, um -- so very rewarding.




Please commit yourselves to being here when you have scenes, and getting your lines down. We all know it's nearly impossible to rehearse when we're missing people. Somebody made the comment today that 15 minutes review at home would go a long ways towards getting rid of the last of those memory lapses. And it would move us closer to a book free Act II, which we need like now.

We've got a super-fun script, a fantastic cast, and the energy to make it happen.
Work hard, be playful, focus, have fun, and hang in there.
Opening night -- a month away -- will be worth it!
