the performance was on thursday. =O we did really well, especially considering we didn't really get to know the space or run through the play properly. the music actually fit in neatly even though we didn't really rehearse those scenes and the curtains/lights/sounds worked out well. =)
i know that this was probably the first time most of the cast has done a whole play and everyone did really well. heefa and maria pulled through and even with a few emergencies and missing props, we figured things out and made up for what needed making up.
some people were outstanding--karen, mingo, alexis, david, gina, elysse, alberto, just to name a few. the singers were also really good and even though hira got nervous and forgot a few lines, she didn't let it stop her and made sure she said something to finish her scenes and she really is an excellent rosalind. everything hira does is hilarious.
krystle and aaron pretty much knew their stuff but the chemistry still isn't there. =/ dr. s suggested rushing the first act (we have to cut things anyway) but i do still want to try improving their scenes. i'm glad heefa was in their scenes because she helped liven things up when the chemistry was most obviously dry. it's not so much about their acting as their chemistry, although krystle could be more forward and aaron could be more responsive. oh well. they have improved so much and i have hope that they will be even better.
our final is on thursday. ahhh. we still have to figure out the staging for the third floor library. i think i'll do that now. =O
oh, and just because every grown-up i've heard try to quote it misquotes it:
"if this were played upon a stage now, i could condemn it as an improbable fiction." - fabian, twelfth night.
