Off-book Rehearsals

So today was our first off-book day for Very Same Stars rehearsals, and I admit, I felt a little lost. I guess the whole production experience seemed a bit rushed to me. I mean we havent even started working on the solo dance for rain and fire, and I only learned today that I would be speaking the drummer lines. TODAY I learned that, on off-book day. Haha. Thankfully it was only like two sentences so it wasn't a big deal, but you know... That kind of thing needs to be said BEFORE the off-book rehearsal, don't you think?

I don't really know how I feel about the show.
At least at this point.
It's a little bit stressful, knowing we have all of 3 weeks to perfect it.
And besides the stress, it just doesn't seem interesting. I mean I'm staying optimistic... hopefully things will pick up once we add costumes and all the set design and everything. But for right now, practices are tedious and boring, and it just seems like educational BLAHBLAHBLAH coming out of the script. And some of the actors are plain out READING it. This is gonna lose the little kids' attention FAST unless we pick up the characterization and motions and inflection and set design.....


We'll see how it goes. :\
