REHEARSAL JOURNAL

On Sunday all five plays did a Run-Thru before our Equity day off. Today we will have afternoon rehearsals in the rehearsal halls then FARRAGUT NORTH. THE HISTORY OF LIGHT and DEAR SARA JANE will move into their theaters for the very first time. Our evening rehearsals will take place on-stage. This is an important part of the process. The actors will have the opportunity to transform their work from the rehearsal spaces to the stage.

On Thursday we will begin to tech DEAR SARA JANE, FARRAGUT NORTH and THE HISTORY OF LIGHT. Tech rehearsals for FIFTY WORDS and YANKEE TAVERN will begin on Friday. This is when we introduce all the technical/production elements which will support the rehearsal process.

The admin staff is hard at work preparing the 2009 season program and making the final preparations for next weeks Previews and Opening weekend. Everyone is logging long hours and working late into the evening. We all feel the excitement and pressure of the fast approaching “deadline”. 

This is the week when all of our collaborative efforts come together. Making live theater is a collaborative experience. This is the week when we bring all the diverse production elements of live theater together… and create an “organic whole”.
