Things are starting to click.

Well, one week ago we were sitting around a table reading the script. It's pretty amazing how far we have come knowing that. Tonight felt pretty good. It was VERY nice having the entire cast there. It made a world of difference.

I don't have much to say about tonight's rehearsal. Things went well. We all had good laughs. Britt was finally able to join in the shenanigans. We were able to start working out the first physical bit I'm involved in. I'm not going to go into much detail, but essentially she steps on my hand...in heels. All in all though, I am not too worried if she does end up stepping on my hand because it may not be my most painful moment in the show if anything else goes wrong. Time will tell.

We were originally going to do Act 3 tonight. (Well, originally-originally we were probably doing something else entirely, but we're all pretty much going with the flow now.) We ended up running through Act 1 twice. I still wish I could put my script down more, but it is nice knowing that everything that I'm learning in Act 1 will be recycled in Act 2 and 3. Hopefully, that makes learning it all a bit easier, too.

It has been mentioned that, rather than hear from boring old me every post, other cast and crew could post occasionally with their perspectives. I think this is a fantastic idea. I believe I know how to set this up so don't be surprised to see that in the future. Heck, the way I figure the more people that want to blog about this the better.

One last thing that can't go without mentioning. I may have written earlier about someone filming at the callbacks that I had no clue about. Well, that mystery is solved. The Tennessean is (was?) doing a bit about the economic downtown and how it's affecting 20-somethings. The piece is called Life on Hold. Well, Britt is one of the featured 20-somethings. Link here. If you click on her photo, a video will come up of that night at callbacks. Coincidentally, she is reading with Joe, our Freddie.

There was also a little teaser video put together on the Circle Players website here. No video of us, just a teaser.
