Woodshedding

Hello really crazy rehearsal schedules! What's up?
So we had an 8 hour rehearsal of snoopy the other day. then a read through of grand prize after.
then the next day we started official grand prize rehearsals. we block six beats then do what is called woodshedding. which means to memorize and shed the script. basically you do one beat and run it 6 times until its memorized. then you combo different beats together. its a BIG job.
yikes.
an interesting process all the same.
i'm tired all the time...
i hope my body gets used to this schedule real soon!!!!

ps.
i found a snake yesterday that had been run over by a semi.
it looked cool.

It's Snoopy Time!

Hello everyone! I am also at Brownville Village Theatre along with Heather and Jeff. We spent the day in Omaha yesterday buying supplies for our different committees (I am working in the props section.) We had to buy items for each of the 5 different shows we are doing this summer. We are going to have to create a lot of objects which should be interesting. For example: An antler chandler, hand puppets, a prop dummy/mannequin, x-rays etc. It has been an exhausting last 5 days. We only get about 5 hours off for food breaks, otherwise from 9am-11:30pm we are working nonstop! Crazy!

Today we have been working on Snoopy all day and tonight we are doing a read through for Grand Prize. Woo memorization!!
