From the theatre in my brain to the stage...

Rehearsals 4 & 5 - Well, rehearsal 4 was great! I wasn't there. I'm told it went fine so I'll take it. Sunday morning (Feb 7th) I made the drive (which I decided I like better at night). Anyway, it was mainly a staging rehearsal, with working the tunes after the blocking and fitting them into where they belong. PEDDY and EMILY worked a couple of their songs, blocking-wise. They looked very cool, kind of like they did in my mind, although in my mind (as probably in a lot of writers) all is a lot more proscenium. They fought awkwardly through "You have to close that door" and he pleaded with her nicely during "Emily's Window". I am very anxious to hear Sara unload on "If she's the strike of lightning" and "Beg the wind" (wow! element songs?) . Everybody says, and I've heard just enough to tell, that she can wail. It's gonna be bad! (Oh... speaking of... another re-write... I rewrote the lyrics to "It's gonna be bad" in the truck on the drive home. With the script in draft 6 or whatever it just didn't make sense.) But honestly, things are moving right along. Tristan blocks quick, they are savvy enough to get it the 1st time and we will have the rest of our rehearsals to clean it all up. I fight the anxious a lot, but TAD is in capable, competent hands.
