SHREK Rehearsal Journal #16
January 13, 2014 Dress rehearsal numero one! I’M POOPED. We started off two hours earlier than we usually do in previous years and still didn’t get out until 11:15. I think it’s because there’s a ton more technical additions to this show as well as fast costume and makeup changes. No fire curtains were dropped […]

January 12, 2014 Today was a bit of a longer day than yesterday but still just as fun! We started right at ten to finish the Q2Q. The second part of Q2Q went by in about two hours. I think this was because we were all more comfortable with the stage, the set pieces, and […]

FIRST DAY WITH CAST IN THE CULTURAL CENTRE! So I’ve had numerous rehearsals that go by quickly but none have ever gone by as quickly as today’s. Seriously, when Lisa (the best stage manager ever) told us this was the last scene we’d be tech-ing because we only had a couple more minutes […]

But enough of me […]

January 7, 2014 So today was our last clean up day before run throughs with the band begin. Unfortunately, I couldn’t be there as I have a class that I lose 5% with every absence and considering I’m missing four of those classes as it is for shows, Andrew let me attend today so that […]

January 6, 2014 First day back to school which means less hours at CSOPA which means days are a bit more boring. Today was crazy at CSOPA though as all the other classes start up again this week. There were parents and kids and backpacks galore. I love to see how much CSOPA has grown […]
