Close but no cigar
As our opening sneaks up on us--with eight days to go before the preview--more and more details seem to elude us. Tonight's runthrough of Act II made me laugh really hard in a few places and cringe with worry at several others. I am more and more imagining a house full of total newcomers to our show, responding and reacting to our work. It is so impossible to be objective about one's own work, but I am trying very hard to remain so as we go into our final rehearsals. One thing I can carry with me, which our whole company is holding on to, is just how dang much fun we're having, and how our collaboration on this show has brought a bunch of disparate people into a cohesive community. And that is a gift that will keep on giving, no matter what else happens.

You know what? With a captive audience, that may be the biggest factor in whether or not they enjoy it. It's always infectious to watch a group have tons of fun.
We're pulling for you Rachie even though we won't be able to be there. So glad we have this blog to keep in touch with all the progress!
If the cast is having fun, the audience will have fun too. It's said to be a good sign if you're nervous. Can't wait to see the show and YOU!
