Today was a little crazy! We ran (stumbled) through the entire show for the first time, piecing all the transitions together. It was good to get a feel for the pace of the play, the tracking of props and costumes, etc. The lighting designer and the costume designer were there to watch and to get a feel for the production as well, with an eye toward their respective roles as designers.
The last couple hours of rehearsal were spent working on fight choreography. Seeing as how I wince every time someone grabs at someone else onstage, it feels safer and better to know that these moments are actually planned out so no one gets hurt, but so that at the same time the fights look very real.
On a side note, I had fun taking a trip to our props and costume storage space in Newton and pulling more things to use during rehearsal. Scott (our amazing production manager) and his amazing crew did a huge cleaning job there, and the place is SO much nicer and easier. Yay!
