Final rehearsal At the final official cast meeting, Morton and Roller tell the cast to be careful during the next week. Too many late nights, not enough to eat or a cold can cause major problems with a show so close. Sleep, eat and take care of yourselves. Just be smart. But Roller and Morton's parental tone quickly switches to excitement.
Roller asks, grinning.
Wipert, who plays a grumpy old woman, lays on the hardwood floor, trying to rest her head on a jacket at the same rehearsal. I so want time. I want this all to be done so I can have evenings. The weekend before the show runs, the stage in Foellinger Auditorium is littered with lights, cables and parts of the set. The tech crew asks the cast to move equipment, get costumes, tools and help anyone who knows what they are doing.
