The tech takes longer than planned and we skip our dress rehearsal on Monday night. Tuesday is a day from hell. Finish teching in the morning, a dress rehearsal in the afternoon followed by a show in the evening. Before an audience, the adrenaline makes me commit to the choices I make and once more I feel confident. The next day the show works really well.
People respond anew each night.
In the first couple of weeks the show fluctuated wildly but now it is settling down as people adopt approaches which they are happy with. Well undoubtedly it keeps the show alive which is useful for a long run. And as for me I didn't want to play Flute and have ended up loving it. Total Theatre Magazine is published quarterly and is available on subscription. I am thrilled at the courage of those who collaborated on this play and gratified that the received the type of creative rewards one gets from working this way.
