Eleven minutes

Sorry. Long time, no blog. I had a busy weekend and didn't really get a chance to write anything.

So, starting with last Thursday, we were still running through Act 3. I walked away with a few more bruises that night. But overall, I think Act 3 was beginning to feel a little less chaotic. Lets hope that holds true when we get back to it after finishing Act 2.

So, Friday night we had the photo shoot. It went very well. I expected a couple of hours; it only lasted for one. I think we got some nice shots. I guess we will see. Although, we did get a cast page up here.

We came back Monday and began to block the madness that is Act 2. Now, I will say I think Act 2 has the most stuff happening in it, but I also find it the most fun. We spent the entire night blocking. No lines, no dialogue, just blocking. And it took the entire three hours of rehearsal. That just goes to show you how much stuff is going on. And it will make what I am about to say seem pretty impressive. At least it did to us at the time.

Tonight, we were fine tuning the blocking for, what I would estimate is, a third of Act 2. By the last run, we did it in 11 minutes. Wow! So, I think it was 15 pages that we did in 11 minutes. Kellye is really getting her workout as she runs around like crazy in Act 2, but she has been doing a smashing job. Speaking of smashing, Matt and Beth have also been doing fantastic keeping up with all this stuff. When we are working something and have to ask, "Where did I go from here?", Matt and Beth know. When you see the show, you will realize how much of a task that really has been.

So, we will continue for the rest of the week. If it keeps up at the pace we had tonight, we will be doing quite alright. Hopefully, I will remember to write again tomorrow night.
