Rehearsal #11 Notes

I really only have a couple of notes from last night. One, it's time to start topping lines. I know that will come much easier once you're off book, but let's try to start doing that as much as we can now. Second, all of the movements on the stage need to be much faster unless I've specifically told you to go slowly or it's clear from the dialogue that you would move slowly. Again, I'd rather have to tell you to slow down than to speed up.

Now for some general stuff...we will be in the studio room tonight (for Joan and Rachel, that's the room between the main lobby and the Garza main stage. We will start at the top and run the entire play (hopefully with minimal stops). Also, tonight is the LAST NIGHT with scripts on stage. I know you're all thrilled with that!

Finally, we need to be more considerate of each other's time. We have yet to start a rehearsal on time because at least one person has been late every night. So starting tonight, rehearsal will START AT 7:00 SHARP, even if that means I have to read all eight parts myself. If you do arrive late, we will not stop the rehearsal to fit you in. You will be expected to figure out where we are, and jump in immediately. If you KNOW you will be late, even a minute late, please text or call Cheryl or me to let us know so we can have someone read for you until you arrive.

See you tonight!

Tracy
