"A House With No Walls" - A Timely Drama

We caught up with Lois Roach, director of A House With No Walls to ask her about the rehearsal process.

Backstage @ New Rep: Lois, what do you enjoy about rehearsal and tech week?

Lois: It is fun to see the different lives each actor brings to their individual characters!
And may I say, our full company is amazing and powerful in their portrayals.

Lines - lines - lines, yes! learning those lines while dealing with an imaginary set taped to the floor of the rehearsal hall was the first phase of getting this show on its feet. But the taped lines are no match for what has become a multi-level sculpture on stage, designed by Cristina Todesco.

Now - rhythms, pacing (and yes! all those lines!) are an important part of keeping this play flowing and alive...
