Rehearsals and St. Augustine


Tuesday we had our first day off. Cheryl, Ricky, Jeff and I drove down to St. Augustine to see the oldest continually settled city in the USA. It was good to get away from rehearsals and spend some time doing something other than thinking about the show. It was also a good distraction from the election process. This is a picture of the oldest continuously active church in the USA.

Here we are standing outside the oldest wood school house in the USA. If you have never been to St. Augustine it really is a neat place to visit. Lots of history, shopping and good food. Jeff bought a hat and we all tried aligator tail. It was really chewy.

Wednesday we blocked act 2. Things went well. Everyone is really focused and working really hard. Today we finished blocking at 2 and then ran act 2. We had notes afterward and I received the fewest notes I have ever received during a Martin Charnin notes session. Don't know whether to be flattered or worried.

I am still getting to know eveyone. The girls that play the orphans are really cute. This picture was taken of them at the theatre where we are rehearsing. They are from left to right (Back Row) Ivy, Siara, Madison (front row) Sidney, Tiana, Mackenzie, and Dominique. They are all very cute and talented. They are a lot of fun to watch and work with.

Tomorrow we have our first full runthrough. It will be good to get all the pieces put together and still have a week to work on things before putting the show on its feet in front of an audience.
