A Sunday Rehearsal

Yesterday evening we met at our sponsor's house for a rehearsal. We managed to work through the theoretical blocking so that we can jump right in on Friday when we get to rehearse on upper school stage, where the actual performance will be taking place. We also got to work through a few songs with backing tracks which definitely helped the actors feel more confident. I am also looking forward to the meeting that we have scheduled with Brian Marshall, who is heavily involved in Mercury Summer Stock, tomorrow. We hope that he can expand our publicity further, and we also need to run our press release past him to confirm that we have accurately represented Mercury. Between rehearsal, poster circulation, meetings, and making connections, it looks like this week will be busy, but productive. We have also scheduled an extended rehearsal for next weekend, which will be exciting because it is going to include our bassist. During the actual show, the band will be on the stage, which is pretty different than in Hawken Players Society shows, but we think it will help balance the sound better because there are only four people singing.
