e_julianaFirst night on stage last night. Hoo-boy. A little rough, a little lacking in enough time, but good work was done. We're just wildly behind now.
This "5 hours of rehearsal per night" thing is killing me. I have no idea how the actors with full-time jobs are doing it. I can see the wear on their faces. Hopefully they'll be able to recover once we start previews.
The upcoming weekend will not be fun. Opening night of Hamlet on Friday. Dry tech, a 5-hour rehearsal, and a 20-mile run on Saturday. A 10 out of 12 on Sunday (10 hours of rehearsal in 12 hours). There will be NO going out next week - not until first preview on the 16th. Well, wait. There will be going out to see![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
scrappylj, but that's it.
And now I have a sudden urge to hear the Pixies cover Once More, With Feeling. Weird.

Have you been watching Slings & Arrows? If not, I'll try to tape it off TiVo for you. It's the best backstage theatrical miniseries evah! And they're staging Hamlet so it'll be very cathartic for you.
Also Paul Gross has two scenes in it where he gives the most amazing direction to actors on how to play particular characters (MacBeth & Ophelia). Just so well written and performed.
