Sorry I haven't posted all week! This rehearsal process has been very intense! We have been going from 9am to 6pm every day. The show is blocked and everyone is (almost) memorized, including myself! There have been some bumps in the road, but overall I am really enjoying this process. I already love my cast so much and I'm really excited to get to perform with them all summer!
I've been really falling in love with Catherine, she is such a fun character to play. Sassy and sarcastic and bratty, but open-minded and kind as well. Her journey over the course of the play is really well-written and beautiful. I've been learning what this show is about through her, and I think it's about how everyone feels like outcast or "foreigners" for different reasons, and the only way to overcome that is by coming together. All the main characters in the show are outcasts in different ways, Catherine being an upper-class debutante now fallen and an orphan. But by the end of the show, they find love and support with each other, and through that they learn how to love themselves. It is a surprisingly powerful message for such an upbeat, comedic play!
But anyways, on to the biggest news!!
We leave for Park City on MONDAY! We will be staying in fancy condos near the performance space and we'll spend next week rehearsing onstage, which is really nice because we will be able to get a feel for the spacing and acoustics early on in our short rehearsal process.
I've never been to Park City before, so I'm also hoping for some time to explore!
