Keeping On Track

Hellooo! It's me your usual P.M.. Boy, have we done a lot these past two weeks!With the little time we had to work, it's amazing that we're right on track. We had two days off. I thought this was going to affect our schedule, but we aced the work like eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Yeah, I know this doesn't make any sense so I just better get started.

Last time I told you about our cast selection, well they had their first reading and quickly began having blocking rehearsals. These are when the director runs through lines blocking movements with performers.

Another important step taken was the presentation of designs by our set and costume designers and make-up artists. Though they had to fix a few things and give the designs some finishing touches, these were great! After designs were approved they went back to work planning the building process. Set-designers met with carpenters to plan construction and costume & make-up began creating their list of materials.

The other exciting thing that happened was that composers presented their first songs to performers,the director, stage manager and myself. I have to say, the compositions were awesome. Wow, do we have talented composers!I can't tell you which is my favorite song.They're all great! You've got to come and hear them! Now all they have to do is fix the pitch to fit the performers voices. Other than that they're done.

Well, now I have to go. I probably won't get to write next week because we have to take some tests called ERB's. Boooring! We take these every year. So, in the meantime you'll have to survive with this little bit of info. But...don't worry, be happy...I'll be back soon! Keep enjoying life...that's what it's all about!
