Estamos en el Aire

Today was Rosh Hashanah, as many of you may know, which made practice today hard. We have so many people on stage at the same time, we haven't had a single rehearsal where everyone's assembled. But a few more actors were missing today which just meant that half of the characters lines had to be read by other people. Usually this is the assistant director's job or who ever can be on book ("on book" means to be reading the script, ready to give lines to actors.) But today there were so many characters to cover, people just stepped up and said lines that weren't theirs. I'm not sure I remember having that united effort from actors to get through a few read throughs. It really showed a promising cast that I'm leaving behind next year when I go to college and relinquish the reigns on the theater I've loved and lived in for so long. I'll sleep a little easier knowing these kids have what it takes to get a show on its feet- despite issues with schedules or days dedicated to theology.
