From right now, we have 25 days.
We need to be off book in 15.
We have rehearsals on 16 of them.
That's about 48 hours total. Or 2880 minutes. Or 172800 seconds.
Whichever way you want to look at it, we have little time for a big show. Sometimes I feel like we're that unsuspecting little beach shack in the shadow of a 40 foot tsunami. I feel like the best way to be time efficient is to know what we're going in there to do and DO IT. So in order to calm my frenzied mind, and to blog about something, I'm going to break down what I want to do in the next few weeks, and what I want to NOT happen.
January 17th-21st
During this first week of rehearsals, I want to do a readthrough for SURE. First day we must get through the show, and introduce some of the essential script changes, but not dilly-dally on it. If we finish the readthrough early (which I highly doubt), I would like to hear what each person wants to do with their character. Otherwise Erin and I may just catch up with them personally. As far as the rest of the week, we should jump right in with blocking. It might be good to block certain scenes with character groups, and allow the others to work on tech elsewhere. For instance there are multiple scenes that are Jory and Bekah alone. These days before our big pitch presentations might be a good time to get some solo scenes out of the way.
January 24th-28th
Kaishi, who plays the role of "Man", will be gone during this week. This eliminates work with two scenes, but the rest should be fine. We might begin with a warm-up exactly at 4pm, which allows for those there to get ready and those who are late to get there. Then we could continue with blocking, hopefully by the end of the week being able to run at least 1 of the 3 days/scenes. We have an extra all day rehearsal on the 29th, which should be a big help, we may be able to run the show starting the following week.
Blackout Period (Jan.31st- Feb. 11th)
We're gonna play this by ear, and see where the first tow weeks take us... More updates soon!
