Tech Rehersal

Yesterday we had the tech. rehearsal and it is quite unnerving to watch the the play with some of the actors still holding their scripts because the opening night is on Friday the 4th of November. But it is coming together which is quite nice. Like many plays this is very based on timing and since this play is also about death it makes timing even more important. We finally made it through the first act in one run with no interruption or big mistake which was a huge accomplishment. Our rehearsal yesterday was very much tiresome and you can really see that in the actors since they start to get out of character. Towards the end of the rehearsal it became more of a comedy rather than a murder mystery because we were all very tired. I do sometimes wonder how people work with plays as a full time job. Even our 1.5 hour rehearsals after school are tiresome much less 8 hour work days like we did this week end.
