FLSB first off book run through!

Last night we rehearsed from 6:00 to 7:15. I first had them say tongue twiters becasue they each have lots of long and complex lines that they need to say clearly.  I also had my cast walk around the room and I would call on one of them to say a line, and eveyone would stop and look at them.Isaiah and Garrick both have some great moments, but they both talk way too fast becasue they have gotten used to their lines.  They need to speak slowly and clearly so that the audience understands this complex piece.  We had a very slow run through in which I gave the actors many notes on how to play out scenes.  I stopped Garrick numerous times in his first speach to give him specific movements.  When he understands his character's words, he acts very realisticly. I rewroked a few sc enes to make sure that the actors are taking advantage of the three qyuarter stage, and then once we finshed the slow going run through, we did a full run through off book.  I took pictures during the run through and took note of a few moments that needed re working.
