Day 13: Not So Unlucky!

I was sent on an adventure in Ketchum today! I had a map in my hand, tape and tacks in the other, and 60 Dead Man's Cell phone posters under my arm. I. Was. Ready. I departed for Ketchum shortly after I arrived at the theatre. My mission, put up as many posters in as many shops that would let me. I barley succeeded. By one thirty I managed to put up a little over half of my posters. A lot of the restaurants and even some shops have certain hours or days they are open, so that was a little discouraging. I was able to hit some hot spots though. Just about every bank has a poster, the visitor center has a poster, the Starbucks, and Java (apparently the young coffee shop hang out) has some posters, and a lot of the ski and sporting shops have posters. I guess I did somewhat succeed, but my original plan was to get them all out there. Three hours later, and I was ready for lunch and then rehearsals. My lunch ended up running a little late, so I was abut 20 minutes late for rehearsal. :(

When I arrived they were just finishing up the cafe scene between Jean (Beth) and the Mistress (Jen). I didn't miss too much, and they were just about ready to move into the next scenes. Next we covered the funeral scene and the scene between Mrs. Gottlieb (Ms. Suzanne) and Jean. The last individual scene we covered today was the dinner scene with Gordon's family and Jean. It's one of my favorites. We had an hour break at five to return at six to go through the entire first act. I was planning on returning home for dinner, but wanted to reset the stage for the top of the act, and time was not on my side. Once I was reset I went to the office. I was happy to find Ms. Denise had pulled more plays for me to read. We had discussed earlier that morning that now that I had finished four plays, and started a fifth, I was eager to dive into some others. I can't wait to get started on my next bunch! I also took the time during break to study my monologue for auditions more. Not sure how I feel about how it's going, but I still have time to make up my mind about it.

Six o'clock finally arrived. We went through the entire act in two and half hours. We did a lot of stop go, to go over transitions and make sure they went smoothly. When we first began I was really struggling, I needed a huge refresher on the transitions since it'd been so long since we set them. I managed to get through it with the direction of Mr. John (thank you for your patience). I snuck to the front of the stage for the last scene. It's the scene between Dwight (Duke) and Jean. It's again one of my favorites! You get to see the romantic aspects of the play in this scene. After we had finished, Jackie, Dawson, and I had our own little crew meeting to discuss transitions for tomorrow, and what needs to be where and what worked today. I then gave line notes. I'm awaiting a prop list from Ms. K.O. to be better prepared throughout this week. It's going to be late nights this week, so you'll have to excuse my tardiness in the blog world. I hope you al are enjoying them as much as I enjoy writing them. Until tomorrow...
