BAM!!! Winter returned earlier today with another blast. Not that we were expecting anything less since it is only approaching the end of February. I had rehearsal from 1-4 (4 being rather optimistic since I had to leave at 4.45 to be at work by 5). The drive over was rather problematic: snow covered road […]

Tonight Act numero dos with the orchestra went much better than any of us had planned. Perfection… I would not go that far. There were some problems. Missed qs or rs. Songs falling apart, but I have been in a show or two when during the final week of rehearsal, we had the same thing

Tonight was the first rehearsal for which we had an ORCHESTRA. And I am pleased to say that it went remarkably well. We finally started about 7.30 and got to the end of Act I shortly after 9. Remarkably, we stopped very little although there were some problems with lines but only once or twice

Last night was the first night we have been on the Huber stage. I have been in the audience to watch a production of School House Rock, Jr (think I’ve mentioned that before). However, stepping onto the stage was something else entirely. An actual stage raised above the audience with an orchestra pit beneath. Even

Today was one of those hectic, busy days that I just love. Work til 2 then immediately have to make my way to rehearsal. Fortunately, the time clock is set 5 minutes fast. Rehearsal was just as fun as I had imagined it would be. The principal cast and members of the chorus were given

Tonight’s rehearsal was full of fun. We had a visitor from an area newspaper who may also be of help in the costuming area. She was there to discuss the show individually when we were not needed in a scene. “John Truitt” and I happened to be available at the same time (it was not

Tonight’s rehearsal was extremely interesting and cut short because of our limited space. The stage was being used for final dress rehearsals for the production of Steel Magnolias going up this weekend. The community room in the building (which has been used as our practice area prior to the stage opening up) was being used

This weekend has been one of the busiest but most fun I have had in sometime. It all started Thursday night when a group of us met at the theatre to practice singing the songs we had selected for our concert on Saturday night. I did not get to practice mine because circuits got crossed

Tonight was the first night that the fun began to take shape at rehearsals. Especially when you are with a new cast, it does take a few rehearsals to get acquainted. But I was greatly impressed with the two youngest girls who have for the most part memorized each of the songs they are part
The other night before rehearsal really got started (before it was supposed to begin), I got a chance to become further acquainted with some of the people involved in the up-coming production of Meet Me in St. Louis. While the theatre and people involved may be different, one thing remains the same: the drama involved
