Congratulations on casting your shows. Hopefully, your actors know to come today to a read-thru. Someone (Darby, probably) needs to make an order of how they will be read. Directors can say something brief about their play and read any important stage directions as you go along. You can finish up on Monday. Someone (again, this falls under Darby's job) will also need to give a few ground rules. Like, be at rehearsal, unexcused absences will be given a work detail, bring a pencil. Learn lines quickly, etc. The usual expectations. You must drive home the fact that the rehearsal period is very short - that each play will only have the Blackbox four times before tech week. Things like that. Set a good tone today and come on serious and strong. If you do not, you will constantly be struggling.
Break a leg!

I am willing to be the director that adresses the actors about missing rehersals, bringing a pencil, and being respectful, etc.
ReplyDeleteShould we be emailing our cast?
ReplyDeleteWhen is the list going to be posted? Because I might want to email our cast in case they don't see the list until 3:15 when their parents are parked outside the student center waiting to pick them up. It would be our luck.
I am excited for working on the play today. Take that blog!
ReplyDeleteHELP MEEEE. Houston, Moore (Kyle), DiGiacomo! I don't know what to do in rehearsal today because my play doesn't have much dialogue and I feel like it would be really boring to read it. I don't know. I'm lost.
ReplyDeleteYosup is the ultimate impersonation of Tim/Tom, and when one greets him they have the capabilites to say his name twice like, "Yo sup, Yosup." And again I state the point about Kenneth's voice, epic.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to make a point of going to the cast list and recording whose shows my actors are in. I might try to work with them when they're not busy, but I'll make all rehearsals optional and I'll tell them to learn your lines, not mine. Sound fair?
