Getting together this week for our first read-thru and initial rehearsals was both awkward & a joy, kinda like your first middle-school dance. Many of the actors have never worked together, so there's the excitement of getting to know each other plus reacting to each other plus learning blocking! Phew! Good thing we all love to laugh & love the process of bringing this baby to life.
Other than Mame (played by Barb Alloy), initially the actors will only have 1-2 rehearsals per week while we learn our blocking. As time goes on, of course, we'll need to be there more and eventually these charming characters will become merely quaint and quirky extensions of ourselves.
Oooh! I get goosebumps just thinking about it!
