  • Leela

    •  I've read through the script a bunch of times focusing on direction notes, conversation and scene climaxes, and blocking. I helped Julia choose audition and callback sides. I also brainstormed some ideas for rehearsal activities/warm-ups that could help us work through some of the really intense moments in the show.

    • The free PDF script we're using is missing a few lines, so I'm looking through my bought script (I have it from doing the show before) and finding all the changes so we can write in the missing lines.

    • I'm also wondering from Eboard if there are other specific AD responsibilities I should be doing since I'm new to this

GM Planning
