Well today was our finale for You Have the Right to Remain Dead. You just had to be there to understand how much fun the entire experience was. The show itself was brilliant but the cast was another memorable group to work with and I befriended a 4th grade boy who was one of our [...]
Day two of three of the play saw both an afternoon matinee as well as an evening show. I am glad that we had the extra performance so that some of my friends in the Little Shop cast could come and watch our show. I saw two of them, but the third must have been [...]
Tonight was opening night for You Have the Right to Remain Dead and what an opening it was. For a Friday night during football season with many homecoming games going on, I thought the crowd was a decent size and it is very difficult to fill every seat in the venue. I still cannot say [...]
No, not McDonald’s but the feeling this day always brings. Not sleeping much the night before (I think I finally got down about 3 this morning and slept until about 9). I watched Superman: The Movie to further unwind. I got up totally rested, totally excited, read my pal’s blog post sending wishes to Travis, [...]
Yes, tonight was the final dress rehearsal for You Have the Right to Remain Dead. We had a few snags but nothing that will prevent us from having an AWESOME opening night tomorrow. We were instructed to come home, get a good night’s sleep, relax tomorrow (glad I have the day off), and look over [...]
Tonight was our first dress rehearsal complete with newspaper reviewer and minus one key character from the production… UGH! I dunno… week of opening with 4 rehearsals to go and one of the major cast members is at a meeting but I guess it must have been important. So we had a fill-in read lines [...]
The title seems vaguely familiar so, I added to it. The next week will be exciting, nerve wracking, late, but overall great fun. The week leading up to the performance. The cast and crew got a taste of that this evening when the elaborate effects were added for the first time. There are many light [...]
YAHOO!!! I took the plunge and ditched the script for the entire rehearsal. As a wise scientist once stated: “Once you set your mind to it, you can accomplish anything.” I will not say that I was perfect but I felt good after the evening was complete. So fun and ultimately rewarding… now I can [...]
and still actors still have their scripts on stage! Ok… so I’m one of them but it is more of a crutch than anything else. Besides, as I said there are still 17 days until the curtain goes up and the “NO BOOK” deadline is set for Friday. I think tonight I will go completely [...]
Monday night at rehearsal, we had about half the cast present without either of the directors. This greatly limited the amount of work we could accomplish. It was decided that we would once again run lines. Quite often in these situations, actors are asked to read multiple roles. I ended up being three of the [...]
