Rehearsals have been going great.
The toughest part of working with community theatre is remembering that everyone has a busy schedule. So rarely do we have the entire cast there on the same night, which makes for interesting rehearsals. Now that we are getting closer it’s getting easier to get everyone there, but naturally with summer in the lakes there is always someone who has a conflict.
The cast has done great with the language. The meanings of the lines are clear, and they’re comfortable enough with the lines to begin to play with them a bit, and even more meaning is coming out with that aspect. Memorization is always hard, but the cast is understanding that you have to read the part out loud (often with a partner) in order to *really* get it. On any given night you can see random cast members walking around the park when they’re not on stage rehearsing their parts in small groups. It’s kind of funny, and people strolling through the park often stop to watch.
Tonight we’ll have our first run in with Tuesdays in the Park, so we’ll have an hour to run lines before the full rehearsal gets started. It’s going to be exciting to see the final product of all of this work!!
