14 Days 'til Curtain...

I woke up a little tired today. I still have a few things to do. Klara and I have to design the program, I have to finish the music. I'm gonna go over to my mom's to help her clean up for a little while. I have to go to Costco or Smart & Final for some snacks for tomorrow's rehearsal. I need to figure out what I'm gonna feed the cast for lunch...

Yesterday I wanted to KILL one of my cast members who will remain nameless; although I will say her character name rhymes with Mika, lol. She played an April Fool's joke telling me she wasn't coming to rehearsal. I was ready to flip a table over...seriously. Then she said "April Fool's" and I had to take my pretend blood pressure medicine, 'cause I was hot...

Speaking of flipping over tables, in Wednesday's rehearsal, we had been experimenting with Eli's reaction to the news about the girls. I told Clarence to just go for it. And he did! Very exciting! Right after that scene, it started hailing so hard, like all that energy brought down the hail. Amazing. We had to reel his reaction in a little bit after that; but over all, there is some AMAZING work happening. The characters are filling out and now adding layers of playfulness and comfort.

I'm reworking the ending now; as it stands now, it's too long. I need to tighten it up, so it doesn't linger so much. I do appreciate having a background in film and editing; I believe it has helped my sense of timing, and will contribute to this scene overall.
