Rehearsal 20

PREVIEW!!! Everything went great today. We finally had a full cast thank god. Everyone needs to be a little bit more on their transitions but this rehearsal definitely helped everyone get back on track. The audience was so great for them and I cannot wait for everyone to see this show. I am so proud of all of the work that my actors did and could not have asked for a better experience.

Performance Report 9/20

Call Began: 6:00

Ended: 9:51

General:

Before today’s run, the cast did a bonding warm up with Kat and Emma.

Today was our preview performance for the Arts Res college. We began the run at 7:10, and finished around 8:50.

Kat gave notes after the run to the cast. We finished notes at 9:49

Sound:

Emma ran sound in the booth today. The new sound cues that Allen added at yesterday’s rehearsal (the “ah” in scene 14, the bows music, post-show music, and transition music between scenes 1 and 2). So, those cues were not used for today’s performance

Set:

When the cast brought the bed on for scene 15, they put it on with the opening to the sheets on the wrong side. During the scene change, Sydney ran onstage to fix it. The cast received this note, and will fix this scene change for tomorrow

Props:

Jon squished the tomato on Jillian in the prologue today. We needed to poke some holes in the tomato first in order to have it be squishy enough. However, hutch said that he could not see the smush, so Jon is going to show the tomato to the audience more.

Makeup/Hair:

Molly tried to use age makeup for the first time today. Some of it wiped off throughout the run, so we are going to try to use setting spray tomorrow.

Lights:

Emma could not see when the actors were in place for scene 1, so Meghan changed this black-out to a blue-out instead.
