April 8 - We Could Do Our Exercises
Back-to-back Halfway Mark and Waiting for Godot rehearsals. In both, used the MacBook for the first time directly plugged into Douglas Mandell's speakers -- great leap forward from rehearsing with a boom box for the last couple of weeks -- got carried away with the dynamics, but will find the appropriate balance....
Complete run-through and staging of former, read-through of Act I in the latter, halfway through Godot, had to decamp to front porch of Goat Hall to accommodate Easter Hangover rehearsal -- worked out pretty well nonetheless, since the portable laptop could run on batteries outside -- sound more than a bit on the quiet side (absolutely wiped out by passing busses), but still satisfactory situation.
Wonderful casts in both rehearsals...
Nathan and Claire here for the weekend, and a delight to have them both at home and Goat Hall....
