Rehearsal 18 Dec Run Acts 1 & 2 (off book)

 Hello folks.

This is an all hands call as it is our last before the holiday break. Much of January will be spent integrating musicians and technical aspects, so this weeks rehearsal is going to be about smoothing out the rhythm of the show.

Bring your scripts, but leave them off stage as you should all be ready to take the plunge. Rowena will be on prompt and you should feel free to call “line” as often as you need.

1-5pm Full Cast

Your homework over the holidays will be getting yourself confident in your script and blocking. We will not be holding rehearsal again until January 8th in the hall so this means grabbing a family member to quiz you on your lines, listening to the music on Spotify and visualizing your blocking and choreography as you run through your part.

You should now know where you need to be for the whole show and if you don’t, this weeks rehearsal is the time to ask questions. Don’t wait until dress rehearsal to realize you’re missing something. Let us help you with that before we break for the holiday.

Costumes: Chorus & Droids

We’re asking all of you to provide a basic foundation costumes

Chorus: Black Trousers, Black Long Sleeve t-shirt, black soft sole shoes 

Droids: joggers and long sleeve t-shirt (these should be plain, but I’m interested to see what colors you have and/or what fits with your character), black soft sole shoes

If any of this is not something you currently own or is difficult to acquire, please let us know as we do have access to some stock and charity shop finds. I’ve also been told that there are affordable options for plimsoll shoes at Tesco (I think? Somebody correct me if I’m wrong on that)

You guys are all doing such a great job! Thank you for making me laugh every week.

xoxo

Music Rehearsal and Work through 11 Dec

 We have live musicians!

This week's rehearsal, we are here for them but that makes your full participation no less important.

We are so grateful that we get to have live accompaniment as it will make our job so much easier when we get onstage, but to get there we need to take some time this week to give them the opportunity to dig into their role and give you the opportunity to get used to the new sound.

3pm Full company

5pm Released
