Rehearsal #15 Notes

Sorry for the delay in posting last night's notes. The blog was down this morning every time I tried to get in to post.

Anyway, as I mentioned last night, it seemed like we took a step back on dialogue from Tuesday, so make sure you keep your heads in those scripts over the weekend. We only have FOUR more rehearsals until Tech Week starts, and by then none of us should have to worry about any memorization issues.

Remember to keep your pacing up. I'd rather have you enter too early and have me stop you than to have you enter even a second too late at this point simply because that will become your habit should it continue.

Remember that your bios are due to Cheryl on Monday. Send them as via email to cheryl.mills@houstonfac.com. Refer to my post from earlier this week for bio guidelines.

We'll start straight up at 7:00 Monday night. I'd like to get through the whole play and all of Act 1 a second time on Monday if at all possible. The only way to do that is to start on time, so let's see if we can make that happen from this point forward.

Remember that this weekend is set building weekend. I'll be there tomorrow from roughly 9-12, and hope to get the Stage Left wall built and the sofa modified so it will hold the suitcase. There should be folks that continue to work after I leave Saturday, but just to make sure you're not up there alone, give me a call at 281-840-8011 if you plan to arrive at or near noon so I can let you know if it will be worth the trip.

On Sunday, I plan to be at the theatre by 10, but it could be as late as 11. I will have to stop mid-afternoon for an HFAC board meeting for two hours, but again there will be plenty of work to be done, so stop by if you can. And if we don't finish on Sunday, I'll be there Monday as well.

IF YOU ARE COMING TO BUILD SETS: Make sure you wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty and possibly ruined. Wear comfortable, closed-toed shoes (sneakers are fine). I'd recommend work gloves and safety goggles if you have them (splinters hurt, especially when one gets in your eye!). If you have a cordless drill/driver, circular saw, jig saw, miter (chop) saw. and/or a hammer feel free to bring them. If not, we'll have plenty of tools and paint brushes and rollers for you to use.
