so. readthru.
May. 20th, 2010 10:42 amFor my own record ... and because people have said they're interested ... I suppose I should talk a little bit about last night's read-through.
We're rehearsing some of the time at the church where the community theater group has their offices. So we arrive in dribs and drabs and the very young stage manager (more on this in a bit) sends us down dim hallways saying "just go down to the end." About as helpful as shoving a person in a maze and saying "just go to the center" but I followed my nose and found our very yellow rehearsal room.
There's always a bit of a weird dynamic going on at that very first meeting of any cast, and there are 17 of us in this show. So we trickle into our little room at the end of nowhere and sort of mill around the circle of empty chairs. Some of us know each other, but no one knows everyone. Some people will introduce themselves, or ask "so who are you playing?" but the shy ones just slip into chairs, or stand awkwardly outside the circle waiting.
