One of the hardest parts after casting is waiting for the
first rehearsal to begin. I personally don’t like to start rehearsals until the
actors have spent a little time with their scripts. It is much more efficient
to run rehearsals without a script in hand. So for the next week my wonderful
cast will start to learn their lines.
We spent some time last night singing
through some songs and listening to the reference recording. One of my favorite
parts in the beginning is the creative juices...the possibilities. Bouncing
ideas back and forth with my direction team and actors about wigs, choreography
(big lifts!!??), difficult harmonies.
I love it. Every minute of it. I cannot
wait to start our first rehearsal next week.
On that note: While you are patiently waiting for the Putnam
spellers to get their act together check out some great theatre this weekend!
You can see “How I Learned to Drive” By Paula Vogel directed
by Jennifer Miller. The show runs July 24, 25 and 26 at 7:30pm at the Sligar
Auditorium (Next to Elevation 486). Tickets are $10 and all proceeds will
benefit the Crisis Center.
