On the Verge (Spring Mainstage Show)
Leela Munsiff (Director):
This week for verge was kinda rough. I had to leave rehearsal Tuesday for health reasons and we had to cancel rehearsal Thursday for the same reason. Then both I and Seheni got sick so we directed Saturday and Sunday rehearsals over Zoom. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't great either. Our chat about expectations for actors and creative team moving forward didn't happen because of the photoshoot. Since availability the next two weeks is rough, we might just send out the feedback form now or send an email.
This week put us behind schedule which worries me, because we have a tech heavy show and a short tech week and I won't be there for the move-in weekend. But It'll be okay. I think the biggest obstacles we've been dealing with are scheduling and the mid-semester burnout. I think once directors can be in person, hopefull hopefully on tuesday, things will start to look up bc we can be more interactive and have some good laughs.
Dance rehearsal with Guin on Friday went great! We have another on Wednesday I'm excited for. Tysm Guin <3
I met with Jit Ping, we checked in with how we're feeling about the show and talked about scheduling. Seheni and I are going to meet before rehearsals start this week to go over some things. Seheni, Jit Ping, and I also met over zoom earlier today and we talked blocking and scene transitions for Act 1. We have to talk eith tech before finalizing some blocking, so wer're trying to schedule a director-TD meeting next week to go over that and a general check in.
That said, I'm really impressed with everyone's commitment to the show despite these setbacks (coughs in photoshoot). Actors are doing great with lines and are asking the right questions. Hel and Heather have been on the grind so I can't wait to see what they have. I'm excited to see what the producers are up to with promo now that we've talked about it. And it always feels good to start rehearsal knowing Seheni, Jit Ping, David, and Simone are there too which I am very grateful for.
