Wow! It's hard to believe it's already been ten weeks of school and working on the show!
This week, I read chapter 15 in my book, which covered keeping the show in hand during a long run. While A Man for all Seasons will only be running for four performances, there are still many tips in the chapter that were helpful. The most useful section was on cast morale. I especially related to the discussion of the second-performance slump, which is the natural downturn in energy after the excitement and adrenaline of opening night.
In tech, we have hung another of the tudor half-arches, and we also now have a poster for the show, which has been placed around the campus. We are starting technical rehearsals this week, for which I am very excited. We've scheduled a photoshoot with the campus photographer. I am so excited to see this show coming together!
It is looking great. We couldn't be to this point without such a competent stage manager!
