Okay, my friends, we have a go for rehearsal! We are confirmed for Sunday, March 30, at Bongo Java After Hours, 5:30-8:00. Let's all have dinner after, shall we?

Also, would everyone like to have a second rehearsal on Sunday, April 6th? It would probably be a little bit looser than Sunday's, but we may feel the need for it. At any rate, let's try to keep the date open, evening hours like this time, and see how we feel about needing it after this week's rehearsal. Thoughts? E-mail me.

By the way, specific things I'd like you to think about: character backgrounds, make up and costume ideas; Robert and Demetriss, I specifically want you to think about how to address the time changes inherent in your phase of the story. Clothes, hairstyle? We will also have detailed prop lists; I'd like everyone to volunteer to bring something for Lorie's prop basket. Also, I'd like the actors playing the Four Women to coordinate their performances with Demetriss very closely; I want those roles to all contain an echo of Sylvie.

That's it for now; go forth and do good...

Your captain of the flight deck,

By the way, if you scroll down the page and look on the left side, you can now find downloadable Acrobat files of all the key production documents, like the script, shooting schedule, call sheets and other more-than-slightly-important stuff. I promise to always have the most current version uploaded, so hopefully everyone can stay current and on the same page!

Innit this internet stuff to swoon for?

Your head geek,
Dimitri

Okay, due to very, very, very popular demand, we're moving rehearsals to another revised date [drumroll please]:

SUNDAY, MARCH 30 (that's THIS Sunday)
5:30 - 8:00 pm (tentative)

We also now have a confirmed location:

BONGO JAVA AFTER HOURS THEATER
(I won't give directions as I think all of you found your way there last week...)

Anyway, be thou there or be thou square...looking forward to a great session with my favorite actorish people! PLEASE let me know if this time just really hoses for you and we'll see what we can work out. Also, since we're moving it later, should we have dinner together after? (My treat.) Let me know your thoughts...

Your lead lion-tamer,
Dimitri

Okay everyone, we're still getting the location nailed down, but for now, the first rehearsals are set for:

SATURDAY, MARCH 29 (that's this Saturday)
1:30 - 4:00 pm

Most of you indicated that this should be an okay day for you, so let me know if there are any problems. I know a couple of you are a bit questionable, depending on other engagements, but please do try to come when you can and a lovely time will be had by all.

Your humble director,
Dimitri

Hi everyone, thanks for dropping in, and I'm really thrilled you're part of the production. Abigail, Robert, Demetriss, Rachael, Patrick, Tabitha, Elle, Gabe, Lorie, David, and Katie...thanks SO much. You're really going to make this project click on so many levels, however directly or indirectly you're contributing to this piece.

The first question of the day is, does anyone have any special food requirements? I'm putting together a list of prospective restaurants that might want to contribute to our enterprise for glory and screen credit, but I want to make sure any special dietary requirements are taken care of. If you do have anything we should know about, let myself or Lorie know post-haste, and we'll figure that into our foodie calculations.

Secondly...does anyone know anyone with a lakeside or other waterfront/riverside house, preferably one with a veranda view? This is the one key component of our locations we haven't really addressed yet. I can, of course, rewrite around any location limitations, but I'd really rather try to get the shots we put together for this in the first place. Let me know or drop Abigail a note if you have someone we can contact.

Oh yes, just for your handy reference, ths shooting dates, once again:

APRIL 12-13
APRIL 19
APRIL 26-27

Your intrepid director, over and out for now...

Well, this is it, folks...I'm tuning into the mighty blogosphere just in time for me to have zero spare time to update it. But lordy, bear with me, I'm going to try and make this worth your while.

No, really.
