Last night's rehearsal was...
Well, it was the first rehearsal.
lol
Blocking is always tedious, and last night wasn't an exception, save the fact that the cast managed to make the most out of it.
We managed to cover 90% of the show, which kinda surprised me.
We still have a couple of chase scenes to cover, which, in turn, will determine blocking in ceartain spots of the show.
A couple of our young thespians were already showing signs of having memorized some lines.
Hizzahs all around for that!
I'm hoping everyone will be of book by the end of this month.
*FINGERS CROSSED*
Tonight's rehearsal will be touching up on what we did last night.
We were missing a few actors last night due to vacation, so we probably won't see them tonight.
Also, rehearsal ends at 6 instead of 6:30 because the RTP banquet is at 6:30, and Ju and I, and whoever else is going from our show need to skeeeeeedaddle over to JR Hooks.
See you all tonight!

Crunch time!!!!
Monday...
We had a few hiccups.
Last night was much better.
Tonight we are going to start at 6, and just GO.
I'm debating on whether to start with Act II, and, if we have time, go back over Act I or just start at Act I again....
I think we're going to do the former rather than the latter, just becaue we've started with Act I for the past couple of nights.
The majority of the cast has the majority of their lines down.
HOOOORAH!
With the exception of a few props and needing to finish painting the front of the stage, the set is ready to go.
Some time either tonight or Saturday, I need to get the BACK of back stage cleared out and organized so that all the clutter isn't seen by the audience.
We will have a rehearsal on Saturday from 2:30 to whenever.
I honestly have no idea how long the show is going to be and I don't know if we are going to have to cut some scenes or lines.
We will do whatever to make it work.
Everyone is doing a splendid job and should be proud!

Set building Saturday and Week four: Night one
Set Building Saturday was a smash.
Everyone really came together and worked together to make this show happen in a big way.
The dads who showed up were above and beyond with the set.
Some of the moms went up and helped figure out the crazy costume mess in the green room.
Some were painting and helping with parts of the set.
A few were brave enough to help clean the restrooms.
Yikes.
Cast members were EVERYWHERE, helping with every kind of odd job.
It was a beautiful thing.
Once everyone left around 5:30, James and I started on painting the stage.
We finished the stage floor around 8- something and called a quits.
I popped in Sunday Evening and painted parts of the front of the stage myself, and touched up on a couple of spots we missed the previous night.
Last night, I started painting parts of the set.
I was elated to see a couple dads come back to finish working on the set during practice.
A-Mazing!
Rehearsal-wise, last night, we went over Act II.
I say "we" even though I missed most of it because of the board meeting.
Argh.
I apologize for not being in a stellar mood last night.
It'll be better tonight, I promise, when we go over Act I.

Week Three: Night Three...
Tonight was great.
We went through the entire second act, and everyone was such a trooper.
Some people were still out due to illness, so hopefully they will get better soon.
We got a really great show in the makings...
We're going to rock the pirating world and Circleville with this production.
Everyone has done such a great job, and James and I are so proud of all the efforts set forth by all.
Set building Saturday will be very constructive, by the looks of things.
A lot of people will be there, which is amazing.
For those who don't really wanna do the whole building thing, we're going to have cleaning projects all over the place in preparation for our using the theatre in its entirety.
I'm totally stoked.
I can't wait!

Week Three: Night one....
Tonight went well, except for the fact that the theatre was FREEEEEEEZING.
All of the poor actors were in their coats, shivering.
We worked on the first half of the second act, and blocked it out.
We still have to work on the gun fighting and attack scenes and whatnot, but it's getting there.
At one point, I was trying to position poor Flynn, and I pulled on his feet in such a way that he tumbled backwards.
It was hilarious and everyone laughed, but I kept stuttering apologies between my laughter.
(Sorry Flynn.)
Brandon continues to amaze me as Long John Silver, being able to pin his poor leg up in such a way that we have abandoned my first idea for changing it to a "wooden leg."
I just pray he can walk by the time the show is over.
lol
As far as I can tell, everyone is really enjoying the chance to be a pirate.
James and I are having a blast.
I sent everyone an email tonight regarding this Saturday, AKA SET BUILDING SATURDAY!!
Instead of dining on pizza and pop, I opted for a pot luck setup.
Someone may still decide to bring a pizza to share with all, which is cool.
I just personally think each family bringing stuff for everyone will make for a better time.
Plus, better food choices lead to a more productive and less lethargic construction crew.
I figured we will all get there between 11:30 and 12, and start working.
Break around 3 for food, then start back up til we have nothing more to do.
At that point, James and I are going to paint the stage once everyone has cleared the stage and left.
Ah....
It's all starting to come together......
A month from now, we will be on day two of tech week....

Week two: night two...
Another night of tedious UGHness...
I officially learned my lesson tonight.
I am now going through the script and will try and block out the big pirate group scenes ahead of time....
UGH.
I apologize again for how loooooooooooooooooooooooooong tonight seemed.
Another reason why blocking SO is my least favorite part of theatre.
:0/
Thank goodness Flynn is flexible and small enough in stature to fit in the barrel we already had there at the theatre.
Unfortunately he has to cram in there for a good 10 minutes.
LOL
Thus far, he's been grabbed, yanked, tossed across the stage, almost off the stage, had his arm twisted around, practically beaten, and now crammed into a barrel.
Somehow we've gotta keep him together until April 5th....
:O)
Tomorrow, we're PERFECTING the first Act!!!
YAY!!!!!!

Monday:Week two...
Last night we ventured into the second half of the first Act, all of which takes place on the deck of the Hispaniola.
I think it is safe to say a good majority of our time last night was spent staging the pirates loading of the ship.
ugh....
I could see some of the actors' faces were less than enthused as James and I fumbled through who was doing what and when.
For that, I apologize.
"Tedious" was the word....
In the end, everyone was a good sport, and we got it all sorted out.
It's going to look really cool once everyone has some sort of package to carry and actually looks like a pirate.
Which will start to happen very soon....
:o)
After everyone left, James and I went through the costume rooms and started pulling gobs of stuff for different ideas.
Get ready guys....

Week TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO......
Whoo...
Week One is ooooover.
Onto Week Two.
This week, we are focusing on pages 28-51.
This is the transition from the Inn to on the deck of the Hispaniola.
Wednesday, we shall go through pages 1-51, fixing trouble spots and perfecting blocking.
This week, just about everyone is going to be a pirate.
YAY!
I do want everyone to think about who their character is and how they relate to the other characters.
Think about your character's background.
How long have you known some of the other characters?
Why does your character act a certain way?
What is your character's main motivation throughout this story?
What is your character's inner monologue throughout the duration of your presence in the story?
Think about it....
Little Johnny Jones ended today which means we can start dragging out props and costumes and start figuring out what we have at RTP vs what we need for our production.
I know exactly what I want as far as set design so we just have to pull down flats and figure out what paint we need which won't be hard.
This week starts an interesting phase of the rehearsal process....

Argh! First week be complete......
Last night was terrific.
Despite the wind storm, most of the cast showed up.
James, however, was stuck in his house.
No power.
Not fun.
Those who did come last night were all greeted with something that made them all smile a bit.
Every year for the past four years, I've given the cast of the children's production Valentines of sorts on or before Valentine's Day.
:o)
After everyone arrived, we traveled from page 1 to page 29, stopping every once in a while to try something new, change a direction or motivation, or, of course, laugh at a hilarious blunder.
Always fun.
Like I said last night, if this week's rehearsals are any indication of how the rest of our time together is going to go, we're going to have a great time.
I'm proud of everyone and I can't wait for Monday, when we will begin the second half of Act I.
Thank you guys!

Day one....
I really don't like blocking.
I don't think anyone does.
It's tedious.
BUT, everyone was a trooper.
I've never really paid attention the scheduling ways of others, so I'm not quite sure what the norm really is...
For me, I memorize by repetition.
When memorizing lines, I study one part, we'll title A.
I study it til I've memorized it, then I move to part B.
Once I've memorized B, I go back and go over A and B together, then move onto part C.
Then I do A, B, and C...
So continues the pattern.
That's how I've scheduled things.
We did pages 1-13 tonight.
We're going to go over 1-13 again tomorrow, then slap on 13-29.
Then Wednesday we're going to fine tune 1-29.
Over and over and over again.
Hopefully it won't annoy too many folks...
That's just how I role...
:o)
Everyone received their scripts tonight.
EVERYONE will notice that some folks are gettting an actual script and others are getting partial scripts.
The scripts were $20 a pop.
Multiply that by 32 cast members...
Yeah, that = NO more money in Tahrea's budget for ANYTHING else...
ugh.
We only got 11 actual scripts...
SO, I am making copies for those folks who aren't in the entire show.
Ben Gunn is only through the second half of the show.
Mrs. Hawkins is only in the first 29 pages.
Bill dies on page 16.
So, that's what I copied for them.
Please don't be offended or hurt by this.
It's not a matter of importance.
It's conservation of paper and ink costs in a crappy economy.

Update... (rehearsals start on MONDAY!!!!)
I am currently in the process of copying scripts and putting everything together.
As the scripts were $20 a pop, I'm doing a little bit of surgical work so that everyone has a copy of whatever part of the production in which they are involved.
I only have 11 copies of the actual script, and I'm going to assign those to the characters that are throughout the production.
This isn't so much about who's more important or better.
NONE of that, because EVERYONE is important.
It's all a matter of scheming and saving trees.
So, this week's main mode of insanity is, indeed, the scripts.
Bleh.
There are things about which others don't tell you when you start out on your first directing gig.
I imagine this is what it's like when you first bring home your baby or when you first get married.
You always learn things about yourself and the situation that you never saw coming...
BUT, it's fabulous.
Our first rehearsal is Monday....
I am totally pumped!!!!
We're going to need Jim, Mrs. H, Bill, the CUSTOMERS, and Dr. L on Monday.
Then, Tuesday, Jim, Bill, Mrs. H, Dr. L, Black Dog, Blind Pew, Morgan, Merry, Squire, Redruth, Hunter, Joyce, and the PIRATES group.
Wednesday, we're going over pages 1-29, which means EVERYONE from Monday and Tuesday.

Today's auditions
Aaaaah...
First day is over.
And it was fantastic.
We had a nice blend of new kids and veterans.
20 people in all, ranging from 7 years old to 19.
I'm sure about half of them will come back tomorrow night, which will be awesome.
That way I can mix-n-match kids from today and tomorrow.
Yay!
If tomorrow goes as well as today, we are going to have a really nice cast for the show.
James is seems concerned that only a few folks will show up for the auditions because of the superbowl.
Though that is a plausible situation, I told him, "If people really want to audition, they'll show up. Otherwise they weren't that interested in the show to begin with...."
:o)
I have a feeling, however, we'll have a good number of fresh faces with which to work...
We may not be able to do the read-through at all if Little Johnny Jones is rehearsing this week, which means we'll just go right into rehearsals on the 9th.
I really holding my breath and praying Susan decides to do the brush up on the 12th (Thursday) instead of the 10th or 11th, both of which are days we T.I. folks have scheduled for our first blocking rehearsals.
Not fun....
I'm sure it will all work out though.
:o)
Hopefully, by Monday we'll have castlist to post.....

We may not be able to do the read-through at all if Little Johnny Jones is rehearsing this week, which means we'll just go right into rehearsals on the 9th.
I really holding my breath and praying Susan decides to do the brush up on the 12th (Thursday) instead of the 10th or 11th, both of which are days we T.I. folks have scheduled for our first blocking rehearsals.
Not fun....
I'm sure it will all work out though.
:o)
Hopefully, by Monday we'll have castlist to post.....
