Wowza! October came and went quickly. Halloween was spoopy and fun as always. I didn't do a whole lot with my usual month long Halloween/horror movie marathon. I did watch a ton of Nightmare on Elm Street movies as well as Halloweentown (RIP Debbie Reynolds). My costume this year was the BEST. I ended up as my personal role model...
Yes. I accomplished the amazingness that is Tina Belcher and my friends were Gene and Louise. We were even Liked on Twitter by Kristen Schaal (Louise) and John Roberts (Linda) from the show. We're basically famous!
Anywho, Halloween has since passed and we're creeping towards the festive season. Thanksgiving is already two weeks away (WHAT?) and soon Christmas will take over, although it has started. Oh well. I'm kinda getting ready early because I have Elf in less than a month.
Speaking of Elf, rehearsals have been going fairly well, albeit they have been only once a week for an hour and a half. There are also two casts and there's a lot of juggling, which is fine. Even some downtime at rehearsals can be used wisely (i.e. choreography, lines, etc.). I have faith in our casts. This show is going to be a festive hoot and audiences will love it when we actually open and run. We have all of our musical numbers learned and the choreography is coming gradually to allow everybody to learn it. I, personally, have most of my lines down. I just need to rehearse more of the scenes with everybody so that I can definitely get off book. It'll happen when it's supposed to.
I will pour over my script throughout this next week and not even need it next week. That's always the best part of rehearsals. Without the script being in your hands is very freeing because that's when actors can really play and become their character more and more. So, I will be excited to be at that point of our rehearsal process. Here's to a successful show.
