Tonight was our first time together as a cast! As the director I couldn't me more pleased to see everyone. When rehearsing Midsummer you find yourself in the room with the four main groups (The Lovers, The Clowns, The Fairies, and The Mortals) but rarely all together. It was important for everyone to see the work their cast mates had been up to these past two and a half weeks.
Starting around 8:30pm we began our work through the play, stopping and starting, relocking, tweaking, etc. We got through all of Act One and half of Act Two. Ideally this would have been a full run but I knew it wasn’t going to be that simple and prepared myself to continue the work tonight and Wednesday.
Overall I am very pleased with the work I saw last night. We have polishing to do, but we are in a good place to take the crazy that is tech week and Thanksgiving.
Tonight I am working with The Lovers and The Fairies (plus Bottom), Wednesday The Clowns. By the end of Wednesday night we should have, at least, a complete run-able show.
Thursday I will be posting rehearsal and production photos.
