The play!
Yesterday afternoon was the first rehearsal, so it was the first read through. It was also the first meeting for the production crew, just to let people know the sorts of things they'll have to do. Meghan and Eloise are still rather cross that they didn't get a part, not even in the chorus/Wizengamot like Susan and I did, but it sounds as though the stage crew will have plenty to do, preparing costumes, scrounging up and making props and the like.
It was quite interesting to hear the play for the first time. We've studied the events in History of Magic, of course, but still I didn't know about some of the events depicted. It was really quite moving and thrilling. A few of the girls were actually sniffling a little at the end of Act 1.
Some of the people cast are already so good! (Terrence Higgs, for example, as Mr Malfoy! And Electra Bobolis, I'm sure, will just be fabulous as Mrs Lestrange.)(Well, and some are so bad, mispronouncing everything, but I won't name names there. They'll certainly have time to improve.)
But the best part was probably the look on Ronald Weasley's face when he realised for the first time that he actually had to sing.
It's going to be ever so much fun.
