Just a quick entry today. Rehearsals are really chugging along here. [Note: Terms in italics are theatre terms that some reading this blog might not be familiar with. I don't mean to sound condescending to those in the know... just educational to those who might not be as familiar.] We've staged the entire show (learned where to go and what to do once we get there), and in the last two days we've stumbled through the whole thing (running the show, speedbumps and all, to see what we still have to focus on). Today, we'll be fixing things and focusing on trouble spots, and then we'll run through the whole show again. Tomorrow, the designers (lighting, sound, costumes, etc.) and theatre staff will watch our designer runthrough.
Then we'll be having dinner in our show venue (the Stackner Cabaret) and watching the closing performance of the current show (Pearl Bailey... By Request). Then we have a lovely day off before hitting tech week when we'll spend long hours putting all the elements together. The show we've been putting together in the rehearsal hall will meet the actual show space and all the collective elements our designers have in store for us. We welcome our first audience next Friday, March 5 (I think), and we officially open on Saturday, March 6. Here we go!
The photo above features (in the foreground) choreographer Bets Malone, director/writer Roger Bean, and stage manager Richelle Calin. And reflected in the mirror are fellow cast members Zach Robbins and Adam Estes. Yes, Zach is modeling cow horns. Ah, the glamorous life we lead! Ha ha!
Now I'm going to review my notes from last night so I don't make the same mistakes again. Take care, all! Peace and love.
