Rehearsal Update

We are now at 4 weeks to go before we open and I wanted to share a few things with everyone:

-first, hooray, congrats to several of the actors who are already working towards getting off book. some of you were off book last night and it made such a big difference-thanks!

-second, parents: please try and get your actors to rehearsal on time, and to the right location. i know we have shifted from the church to my room and back, and we've had to make last minute adjustments, so i understand the challenge. please read over all emails and check out the calendar (and this blog) regularly so we all know where we have to be. as for being on time, please be aware that i tried to set up a friendly rehearsal schedule that allowed kids to do their homework, visit with family, and have a meal. but if we have a 2 hour rehearsal and lose as much as 30 minutes due to late actors, that affects the show. so, please be on time! (and with scripts- an actor w/o a script impacts their own work, and the other actors with whom they end up sharing a script)

-a parent asked what kind of help could be provided at home and the best thing you can do is help your son/daughter run their lines! it can be fun, it should be fun, get siblings involved, anyone! it helps the actor, helps the show, and gives you a chance to powerfully share in the process.

-okay, thanks everyone! -gene
