a rant non-theatre folk wont get quite so much, but a rant nontheless
musings and meditations: CSI <3
theatre: I am sorely disppointed with tonight's rehearsal. The preformance is only three and half weeks away anf I expected a lot more from the actors in terms of lines and cues. The first half of rehearsal was completely useless, except to showcase the lack of enthusiasm and effort people are putting it. I know everyone has assignments at this time of year, and midterms... but they all DID have a whole week off, to study for school and study their lines. It sounds a little weird coming from me, someone who is a chronic procrastinator, but with all due respect, I'm about to start putting every moment of my time and energy into this in earnest, to try and get the sets, props, costumes and effects ready. I've already put in a lot of effort with stage managing, but now my work in the tech deparment is getting crucial, and I feel disenchanted going into this long final stretch. If the actors aren't going to make the effort to know their lines and their cues, why am I about to put sleep and sustinance aside to get everything else ready?
Unless the cast seriously steps up their game, this play might be a disaster.
I had to call more cues tonight than the first night that we were "off-book".
