Rehearsal Schedule March 23-April 15th

Rehearsal Schedule

This is the “scaffolding’’ of the next few weeks of rehearsals. Be aware that which scenes we are blocking on certain days may change as the process wears on, since some things may take longer/shorter than expected. Ben or I will update the blog if any changes occur.

Production Team/Designers: let us know when you want to drop into rehearsal so we can plan accordingly and have something to show you.

Actors: a reminder that off-book day is on Thursday and we will be holding a speed-through of the entire show’s dialogue before we start blocking scenes. Also, keep in mind that we will continue to work on characterization throughout blocking – your character work is not over yet!

Here we go:

Blocking: March 23-April 6th
First stumble-through of entire show: April 7th
Second run-through: April 8th
Run-throughs/Individual “moment-tweaking” (adding in details): April 12-15)

In-depth Plan for Blocking:
March 23: Scenes 4&5 (Oheygoodmorning & you’ve made my life like water)
March 24: 6&7 (The Golem & Mother Laundry)
March 25: 8&9 (Like your Golem & Oliver and his mother. Photostrip.)
March 26: 10&11 (Everything was electric & YL is drawing, Oliver’s sleeping)
March 30: 12 (A boat)
March 31st: 13&14&15 (Oliver, his mother…, Being a golem is easy, YL by himself. Pillage)
April 1st: 18 (The ocean filled up with something else)
April 5th: 16&17 (Is Ollie here & We don’t act like people (2))
April 6th: 1&2&3&19 (The wall of Oliver’s life…, quiet green edges…, Oliver is very young & Imagine a cross-section of your world)

This final day of blocking will be dedicated to the beginning and ending of the play. This choice is so that the actors have already gone through the rest of the scenes and have a better idea of the story arc, so we can figure out how to best “shape” the play from beginning to end. They are also scenes that are dictated more by interpretation than cemented dialogue.

If you have any questions/comments/concerns (I hope not the last), please send me an email: kfk08
