Tonight we nearly finished blocking the rest of ACT 1 in a 3 1/2 hour rehearsal! This group is a definitely a working group and their efforts are going to be greatly appreciated by many. At our next rehearsal, we're going to attempt to run all of ACT 1. What is so impressive about this cast, is that they really seem to be having fun.
We're about 5 weeks away from technical rehearsals and there's still a lot to do. So much is going on at the Guild on the stage with the updating of the lighting system and such that it might be throwing off our build schedule a little. At our work session on Saturday, we accomplished some things but there is still so much to do. As a director, I just fear having to restage things once we hit the stage with the set. We don't have a lot of time built into our schedule for this so we'll just keep our fingers crossed.
AD Bob Heflin blocked/choreographed the Poppies number tonight. We had shared some ideas and he took it and ran with tonight along with Morgan. I think it's a fantastic ending to ACT 1 and it's something I haven't seen on our stage before.
We've also added a performance! We're going to do a special benefit performance of the show for Habitat for Humanity and tie in with "There's No Place Like Home." I think this will be a very special evening.
More updates later.
