Two week's notice

Today is two weeks from opening night of production. We've been keeping very busy. This was the first rehearsal where we had to be complete off book. Everyone is doing a much better job with the lines. From here on out we have a few nights to work necessary scenes sprinkled amongst run-throughs. As we become more familiar with the lines, it fun to watch fellow actors start working more on their characters. There's something new every night to enjoy. Normally this would be the part of rehearsals where i get bored and restless, but this show is different. I'm not sure if it's because my part is well spread throughout the play so i don't have as much down time or if i'm just learning to better appreciate the process a play goes through to get ready for production.

And now, a few more of my favorite lines.

Alizon
Men are strange. It's almost unexpected to find they speak English
Skips
And I'm not quarreling, mind; I'm not quarreling. Peace on earth and good tall women. And give us our trespassers as trespassers will be prosecuted for us.
