Here we go!

We had our final rehearsal last night. The show is everything I hoped it would be and more...honestly. I can remember quite clearly what I imagined the show to be three months ago. Reading the play over and over I had a good sense of where I wanted it to go and...BAM...we're here and we're beyond my wildest dreams! Seems like yesterday when we had our first read through. But now....seven weeks later...we're here!

The show is at 92 minutes, no intermission. It's a pretty tight show as it is, but it'll tighten up even more as we run it with an audience over and over.

It's also a FUN show. Watching the actors for about twenty seconds at the start and you can see THEY are having fun. We've really been focused on working with a sense of JOY...not trying to play things so HEAVY...and it's definitely shining through. The actors are alive and in the moment, not trying to do the same show they did yesterday. It's a wonderful, NEW show every night.

That's my favorite thing about theatre. It's the only art form that lacks permanence. You can't capture it and see it again...just doesn't work like that. If you see a show one night, it's not going to be the same show your friend will see in a week or a month. It's unique to the moment. This show is no exception. It will change...the audiences will be different...the actors interpretations will change. These are all good things...a show should never be cemented in my opinion.



I've gotta stop now or else I'm gonna ramble on and spoil the show. I can't wait for everyone to see it. I'm most excited to see what YOU think! We've made it for you and tomorrow is our Christmas morning. I hope you like it.
