Backstage Pass
So yes, we’ve dealt with some rain, but other than that it’s been a phenomenally productive week of work on the Common. The whole show is teched and now we’re getting picky again about some minor design and acting choices. It’s a good spot to be. We’ve had some great runs and extremely enthusiastic and intelligent dress rehearsal and preview audiences. Tomorrow afternoon we’ll have what will probably be our last full company rehearsal before we open officially on Wednesday. Almost time to let it go!
Earlier this week I took some behind the scenes (literally) photos of the set. Enjoy your super exclusive backstage pass!

We went to the Tuesday performance, which sadly got cancelled when the rain persisted through the first act.
We were sorry the cast didn’t have a chance to take their bows - they, and the crew, deserved lots of applause for their tenacity and an excellent performance.
I hope to go back, not only to enjoy the ending, but to gawk at the set and costumes some more. Beautiful!
