Fourth time's a charm

One of the difficulties with trying to keep track of seven different groups rehearsing is the timing. They are all running on their own schedules and scattered throughout the building. I tried to catch a rehearsal of Zoe Fitzgerald's "Good Night" three different times, and every time they were on a break.

I finally caught it when they ran through tech, and holy smokes... This is a wonderful thing. Charles Smith directs Allison Strickland, Danielle Daggerty, Scott Ward Abernethy, Sam Read, and John Farrage. The scene with Read and Farrage is fantastic. What a great way to close out the show.

There are still tickets available and tonight is going to be a great night. Hope to see you there!

Friday's crew takes a break to refuel and relax just for a bit. Actors with scripts in hand, mumbling lines as they start to get off book, directors looking at the day's schedule, planning their afternoons as they enjoy their salads and sandwiches.

a great lunch spread.
