April 15 - Hills Alive



Printed up half the scores for Halfway Mark, then rehearsals at Goat Hall, after avoiding traffic tie-up in Cordelia Junction (did the beautiful end-run around Rockville Park on a sunny, brisk afternoon).


Review/reconfiguration rehearsal for Brunnhilde, with Lisa McHenry nicely filling in for the absent Sandy Castleberry -- who is getting married soon and quite caught up with the plans -- and Sarah Hutchison -- who will be out of town.  Amazed at some of the choreography -- usually my head is buried in the piano part....

Then Waiting for Godot read-though of Act II on the porch, with same challenging conditions of last week, busses passing by, etc. Cast enthusiastic and game for the project, despite a score that was obviously prematurely hustled to press without benefit of enough proofreading.



Lunch at Connecticut Yankee with Harriet, then set up for the second evening SFCCO / SFCO / GH rehearsal. Brief run to 16th and Mission to pick up Clare -- and a later run by Harriet to pick up violist Annie Chang....

Good work in evening rehearsal, despite getting a bit behind schedule...
