More song work, more blocking

The cast spent a good part of last Saturday's rehearsal working on the show's two songs and blocking a sketch that also has some song snippets. Re-blocking one of the songs really had a transformative effect, by bringing the two opposing points of views into focus. Our music director, Laura Kessler, planned to work with the actors in her studio on the songs during the week.

We have one or two more sketches to block and blackouts to choose--and only 2 more weeks until we open. We're all looking forward to doing some run-throughs to get a feel for what the complete show will be like.
