Rehearsal-Shorts-1

Our first show, Red Door Shorts, is now in rehearsals. More info to come but I just wanted to talk a bit about the rehearsal process so far.

Everyone involved with the project, aside from two actors, are members of the acting ensemble. All of which I've worked with before but everybody hasn't necessarily worked with everyone else. The reason we gathered this group was not only because of their talents (which are great and special to each person) but because they will all work together in a positive manner regardless of the circumstances. This is so important because of the fact that we're doing these original pieces, working with an all original script is time consuming because there can be a tendency to go over and over and over the same things until finally that magic moment will happen where something falls into place for the playwright. Having a group of actors positively working towards these goals with you and contributing to the final product is the best case scenario. True collaboration.

Rehearsals are going extremely well and I'm interested to see what the next couple weeks will bring to us!
