Sixth Rehearsal.
Theatre Classroom.
6:00pm.
Possibly the BEST REHEARSAL YET... I notice myself starting to say it more and more. We started out with some improv intensive activities.
Activity 1: Improvised Dinner. Phoebe made turkey as usual, but Johnna is allergic to turkey. Thus, John is torn between siding with his mother or siding with his wife. Johnna is apparently not allowed to go into the kitchen... or the bathroom... or anywhere other than the dining room. The toilet seat is made of gold... This activity as a whole was very humorous and I found myself laughing and crying along with the cast.
Activity 2: Improvised Arrival. Mike and Franchesca got to the door and knocked on the door. Phoebe remained seated for quite a while, but finally arose. During this activity, I noticed they used a lot of adapted versions of lines from Naomi in the Living Room. I appreciated this and none seemed to be stretched or forced. I liked this and a lot of it seemed usable in the actual performance.
Practice: We then hearsed and rehearsed the last few pages which are really looking really really good... really! We worked a lot with Mike because in order to play John, he needs to be invested and willing to push beyond uncomfortable for the things he needs to do. We worked a lot on blocking and making solidified choices. This will be great.
