Technical Rehearsal #1

The set-in-the-making was revealed to us yesternight. I must say TC (the director) or whoever designed the stage did quite a pretty and cost-concealing job with economic hanging fluorescent lighting tubes.

It was nice to be in the actual theatre itself, to know and understand the space, to know where I am in relation to the audience. Everything feels more real and in an ironic way, more consoling now. I'm less hesitant about the show as a result of experiencing the Black Box’s dynamics and observing all the other things that will distract the audience from our not-very-impressive performance.

By the way, I love blackouts because that's the time I get to scratch my nose or adjust a wedgie on stage.
