Tonight's rehearsal satisfied on every level more than last night's. All tasks on the agenda were accomplished (reviewing some choreography and running Act II), and we started to focus on the technical world of our show. Tomorrow night we will spend the entire rehearsal blocking the scene changes (moving set pieces from one scene to the next, which, in this show, will be done in full light since they are part of the play within the play) and the bows. Tonight John told me that he's heard it's bad luck to block the bows before the last tech rehearsal, which I've never heard before, but I must say it did give me pause. I will think about it over night and tomorrow before rehearsal. Maybe I'll wait, being just as superstitious as the next good theatre rat. Shown above are Jayne's flats, from top: a partial view of the Wilson Arms Hotel for Act I, Scene 1; both halves of the Pullman car on the Overland Steam Train for Act I, Scene 2; and the assembled flat for the Hotel Brevoort Ballroom in Act II, Scene 2.
