Rehearsal Schedule for October 15th - 19th:

Monday, October 15th:

2:15 - 6:00 pm:

Act One should be memorized and you should be using props, and wearing rehearsal skirts and shoes.

I will not be here with you during 6th Period, but I will scoot in as quickly as humanly possible. We are going to do a stumble through today of both Act 1 and (good luck!) Act 2. Please be patient and be aware that directors cannot change the law of physics to speed things up. Things go as fast as they go. We will try to get to Act 2, but that means everyone has to be on task and not whine.


Tuesday, October 16th:

2:15 - 6:00 pm:

Same. We will work on Act Two.


Wednesday, October 17th:

2:15 - 6:00 pm:

I am back!

We will work on scenes as needed and then try for a stumble through.


Thursday, October 18th:

2:15 - 6:00 pm:

We will work on scenes as needed and then try for a stumble through.

Alexis: Please get your prop crew together and have them search for props from the prop room. Then have them set up a prop table on stage right and left so that the actors can start using props - even if they are just rehearsal props, it’s important that the actors start using them.
