"Joe Egg" starts it's tech rehearsals tomorrow (Sat- 2/13). This means that, for the first time, we combine lights, sound, props, and performers. Later, we'll start 'dress rehearsals', which add costumes and make-up into the mix. Opening night is Thursday (2/18). Note that there are only five days between that; that's how much time we have to make sure people hit their cues. It's fun! So for those of you that took the poll, we started our design meetings on 1/22, and our final performance will be on 2/21. If you guessed one month (for this show), you are CORRECT! Congrats!
"Talk Radio" set construction has already begun, and lights have started to be hung. On Sun (2/21), a work call will increase this speed, and we hope much more will get done in the two shifts. Depending on the size of the cast and amount of students in the Stagecraft class, we have held multiple work calls.
After spring break, rehearsals and design meetings for "Fefu and Her Friends" will start/ resume. So if you think we have a break after a show is done, you're right- for about five minutes. Then the next show gets pulled out, and we start from scratch once more to turn a play on paper into something that- hopefully- will be remembered.
