Week Three: Day three

(The Scarecrow Double)

Our show is going so splendidly.
I'm going to obtain our sound effects today.
I've spoken with Barry, who will be programming our lights, and he'll be coming in very soon to do so.
After we've gotten all of that nonsense together, we'll have Kari come in and start running the tech booth.
HIZZAH!

Interesting.....

...because the dawg ate it.

(Robert, Katie, Tabitha, Richard, Chase, Jake, and Sam)

Most of the cast is working almost completely off book, or at least striving to do so, and that is great!
I've got just about everyone's bios.
Waiting for a few more, and then it's off to the printers!!!
Tonight, Robert added a deliciously hilarious twist to a scene that should really make the audience roll.
This show is really a funny one, full of jokes for adults and kids.
I've purposely pushing the cast to recognize those funny lines and make sure they bring them to life so the audience can fully appreciate them.
Everytime they say a "joke" I make them stop and circle it, saying,"JOKE! That's a funny line! CIRCLE IT!"
LOL
They get most of the lines, though, so it's really coming along smoothly.
I think Junia will agree with me when I say that not a rehearsal goes by that I don't smile and laugh, so greatful for the awesome cast we all created.

Thanks guys!

Strange combination

Week Two

Katie (Dorothy), Robert (Cowardly Lion), Jake (Tin Man, Samantha (Scarecrow), Chase (Judson), Gwen (Alice), Hannah (White Rabbit), Tabitha (Dormouse), and Richard (Mad Hatter)

Week Two went well.
I am very pleased to see that cast members are making efforts to memorize their lines and really get into their characters.
Kris has been a busy bee working on costumes and making all sorts of magic with the cast and their costuming needs.
I had a mini freak out yesterday when I realized we open in a month.
AGH!
But then I realized we still have plenty of time, though it will buzz by quickly.
I did get the signpost made up yesterday, during rehearsal, and it now stands Upstage.
Hopefully, it will soon be joined by trees and bushes.
*SIGH*
I also have to conjure up props as well....
*SIGH*
It all can be done....

Week Two

Isn't the word "two" a strange little word?
I just spent a minute or so analyzing the title of this blog, trying to figure out whether or not I spelled "two" wrong.
No joke.

Anyways, show is going well.
Costumes are all in the works.
Lines are being memorized.
Characters are being developed.
Hizzah!
Junia and I are truly delighted by this show, and by the awesome group that has compiled itself in this show.

Thanks guys!
See you tonight!

Week one: Night three and then some!

Tonight's rehearsal was much like last night's.
I am excited to see how the characters progress and how the actors develop their individual personas.
:o)
Kris, ever on the job, is continually finding new costume pieces and, in collaberation with LeAnne, is figuring the rest out.
Major thanks to both moms!!!!

After rehearsal, Junia and I hobbled off to the RTP banquet, which was a total delight.
