First Rehearsal

Hey All,

We've made it safely to Syracuse. We arrived yesterday via plane and train and got settled into our apartments - a little later than we may have planned, but we're all snug now. With a Target run for a shower curtain and fan we should be good to go. :)

We had a read through with our newly chosen characters today. We make a lot of switches during the show - from one character to another - and it made us laugh with just how many switches there are and just how quickly one of us must exit the stage with the last line of one scene and enter again with the first line of the next scene. All in all the read through sounded great. It felt so good to sink back into the text as an ensemble.

We're looking to get onto our feet this Tuesday. We came into these rehearsals completely memorized and off book, so we're anxious to get moving, working the text through our bodies.

We'll also be working to produce a "Tempest Trailer" that will show everyone what's "coming soon" to Edinburgh.

Needless to say, we'll be occupied and busy, but in the best sense. I think we're looking at a great time with great people in some great places.

So here's a shout out to you for reading - and we hope you'll stay tuned!

  1. Glad everything is going well, I look forward to the trailer! Though I'd like to point out that in Shakespeare's day they neither took showers nor used fans. If you wanted to paint like Van Gogh, would you leave your left ear in tact? I think not.
