Rehearsals
We are now in throws of tech rehearsals here at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre. It has gone really smoothly thus far. It takes a bit more time because we are working with 3 swing characters. They will be doing some of the performances for 3 of the leads. 8 shows a week can be brutal, and so this will be great. The swing actors/singers are doing an amazing job! This show has so many little tricks involved. It's not just getting to your spot for blocking reasons, there are cameras to think about which really complicates things, especially if you're not used to working on camera. The learning curve is high, but the swings have done an amazing job!
The other thing about this run of tech, is how incredible the crew is here at Berkeley Rep. It is stunning! I don't know that we can thank them enough. It makes the long nights not seem so long, simply because they are completely on top of things.
We have one more actor/singer that flew in yesterday and is coming to rehearsal for the first time today. I hope that he's up for the challenge with a smile on his face! The scenes he is in have completely changed blocking, for the better, but it's still a big change. He will just fine!
Off to rest a bit longer in bed. Tonight is another 12pm - 12am rehearsal with a dinner break. Tech = FUN!!!!
