FLSB and PROM!

We had a prom asking during our rehearsal today! In the middle of a scene Garrick asked Danielle to Prom. I started rehearsal wiht playing "I Love You"  "I Dont Care" and I had them increase their energy as I counted form one to ten.  This game helped the actors wake up and get into the necessary over dramatic mood.  We worked the scene right after the first muder occurs.  We messed around woth blocking some of this scene, but I had a very specific plan for the next part.  The characters needed to read a poem aloud, and I assigned each of them two lines and gave them specific directions for how to show their line.  This scene required the actors to be in sync with eachother, while also having a certain playfulness while almot telling a story.  WE finally starting adding more to the script today.  We would run a scene and someone would say "what if we added this here!" We added some small lines based on the characters. The actors are really getting into their characters.  I see them in the halls now and I see the characters in them more than themselves.  I told them how much I apppreciate the fact that they are all going so all out in this show, I really am excited to see a full runthrough f this show now that the entire piece has been blocked!
