We had a productive week. It is looking real good. Friday and Saturday are a break from rehearsal but not from studying lines. This show leaks information...as a mystery does... and the lines that provide this information are critical to the story and the suspence and cannot be dropped. Please be aware of when you are delivering lines essential to the plot and put extra effort into getting them right.
Next week is tech week with sound, lights, costumes and a finished product. We will rehearse Sunday through Thursday to prepare for opening night on Friday, November 5th. Please be sure your bio is in and that any costume or prop problems have been brought to our attention. The rehearsal start times are as follows for the full cast:
Sunday 7 PM
Monday 7 PM
Tuesday 7 PM
Wednesday 6:30 PM Full dress rehearsal
Thursday 6:30 PM Full dress rehearsal
Call for show on opening and all other performances will be at 6:30 as our show begins at 7:30 (not the ususal 8 PM start) so please arrange your schedule.
Thank you again for all your hard work. You are a wonderful cast to work with.

Show is really following into place. I am very pleased with the cast's development of the characters and there ability to grasp the basic mood and delivery of this show.
Tonight is Act II aand we will be stopping if direction is needed. As a reminder, beginning Sunday, October 24th, we will run the entire show during rehearsal with director's notes at the end. The goal is to be off book by Sunday and a prompter will be available during this week if you forget a line. We will continue with the same schedule or rehearsing Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday until Tech week which begins on Sunday, October 31st. Tech week will require that we rehearse the show every night until we open November 5th.
Thank you for all your hard work.

Good rehearsal last night even though our poor Trotter was out with illness. Get well soon. Your characters are developing and the different personalities are making things very interesting. Keep working on projection and diction and study your lines. They will be much more credible when they are memorized.
Last night we started trying on costumes and it is all coming together. If you have any costume concerns please let me know. Don't worry, Trotter, we didn't forget you.
If you want a tee shirt please get your money in as soon as you can. Thank you for all your hard work and for the help that you have given to produce the magnificent set by Ted. See you tonight at 7:00 PM for Act II.

We finished blocking Act II and so now we can to really begin to fine tune and clean up any blocking problems tonight. I love the way everything is shaping up. The cast is wonderful.
Just to review the schedule, tonight is Act II. Saturday is base coat the set and pull props and furniture from the wharehouse. If anyone has a truck or van we will need that for the furniture. Don't forget that there is also an opportunity to audition for White Christmas on Saturday. Sunday is another opportunity to audition for White Christmas and then we will have rehearsal at 7:00 PM, with the goal to review and run
Act I (welcome back to rehearsal Mrs. Boyle).
Monday, October 18th, the Little Theater will be occupied by a Board Meeting that sometimes can run for several hours so if the Board is still in session at 7:00 then the cast can find a cozy corner and begin with a line rehearsal and run lines with each other until we can get into the theater. Then we will review and run
Act I.
Please take care of yourself so you stay in good health (good night's rest, plenty of fluids, nutritious meals). I can't say enough about how fun it has been to work with all of you.
