Final rehearsal!

4th July!

Tonight's was the final rehearsal before the big show weekend and the final shows! After the show in Poole at the Lighthouse Centre for the Arts there was very little that needed tweaking thankfully, the actors having given a full performance that was very well received by the audience. These last rehearsals have been to get that final bit of confidence in their lines, to get perfect any parts of their performance that they may not have been wonderfully happy with and to get them acclimatised to our Swanage venue at night! The evening performances will be starting at 7:30, and finishing at just after 10, so it is important that they know what the lighting and temperature will be at night so that they can be prepared for the weekend to come.

 

This was also the last chance for Tanya and I to do fittings with the cast.

After the costumes were fitted, it was time to get on with the rest of the rehearsal! As well as getting used to the venue in the evening, it was the chance for the actors to have a run of the show with half the costumes so that the ladies in particular could get used to moving and coping with the trials presented by the full length dresses.
