ENTER THE REHEARSAL HALL -- WHERE THE MAGIC BEGINS!

There is something magical about sitting in an audience as the house lights dim.

The buzz in the room settles into quiet anticipation as we wait to be transported into someone else's world, someone else's story. But what we see on the stage is just the culmination of weeks, sometimes months of work behind the scenes by artists of all description: actors, directors, designers, wardrobe people, carpenters, painters, sound and light experts and others.

This blog will give you a fly-on-the-wall glimpse into that unknown world, following the rehearsal process.
This will be your guide to the hard work, fun and weirdness of putting together a play
for a professional theatre company.

You'll never watch a play in the same way again!

Thursday, September 13 -- Day Three

Dear women who work full time:
How the hell do you do it?
Sincerely, Ellen

The whole wife-and-mother kept me up pretty late last night. Then I slept in this morning which has caused a minor disaster or two.And I still didn't get time to finish the grant applications which are due Monday. See, if I don't apply for grants now, when The Brink is over I have no work. Forever. Oh well, I'll get them done, somewhere between helping with math homework and hearing about the soccer game and finally, finally, finally fixing scene three.
