Of course, dress rehearsals and opening for Foreigner wasn't a very big deal. We just re-spaced the show for the bigger stage of the Heritage Center and made sure no one had forgotten any lines. Opening was wonderful and the audience seemed to love it as much as they did in Park City. Good to know we're still funny! ;)
The dress rehearsals for I'm Not Rappaport were a little more rough. Some people were still struggling with memorization and the way the show is set up, if you forget what happens next, you could easily skip over a large section of the script. The set also didn't get finished until last minute, so I only recently got to start practicing walking/sitting on it and climbing down the stairs off of it to do the fight choreography.
Besides all that, I think the opening went pretty well! Hopefully as the run progresses, memorization will become even more solidified and we will get more and more used to our set.
This was useful to me as I'm in training to be a professional actor because I learned that even professional companies sometimes have things that go wrong or don't get built in time, so working together as a cast and staying flexible and easy to work with is essential.
