This is only Act 1...

Ok, so tonight's post is probably going to be a bit shorter. I just got done watching The Office and I still want to catch Fringe before I crash in bed.

I had a realization tonight as we rehearsed act one. Later in the act, I have a bit where I come out of the upstairs bedroom, I run half way downstairs, run back upstairs, go into the bedroom, come back out of the bedroom, run downstairs to the opposite side of the stage, run back to the side of the stage I just came from, and then go in another door. Yes, it seems a little hectic, but when we get it all worked out it should flow...hopefully. I realized that in act two, I will have just done all that (or something similar) backstage, then I will make my entrance in order to do all the crazy action on stage (which is the backstage of Nothing On). It's gonna get crazy, but it's gonna be fun.

So, we were missing the most people tonight so far, four out of nine. It makes it harder, but all in all, people missing this week is better than missing later. I must give a big round of applause to Matt and Beth for reading all the missing parts. Not only was it essential, but at some points pretty entertaining. I believe there was a moment when they were going back and forth each reading two different parts. Well done.

That's about it. The pieces are slowly coming together. I still need to write a bio. For you non-theatre folks, the bio is the little blurb that you write about yourself in third person. It's what you usually read in the program about the actor and what roles they've played and who they want to thank and so on. It's awkward to write, but honestly (at least for me), I write it, then forget it until I read it in the program.

I've been trying to think of something witty to end this post on, but it's just not there. So this is what you're left with.
