Thursday was the first time Joe threw us into the deep end of the pool. We were to perform the First Act of Ismail: The Last Days as if i t were really run on a real show day. We didn't do an entire run, but just enough so we could gage how long was the first half before intermission.
Ooooh talk about adrenalin rush. Sure it was going to look terrible on the first go, but we charged through it all and sucked it up like people who were ready for war! Ok I'm exaggerating but it felt that way. And probably for the first time we were so well behaved during rehearsals :P.
No stops, not even for tiny mistakes. All were to be saved for after the run through. It was quite exciting, to finally see it come to life. The ensemble was finally pieced together with the principle characters. How did the run go? Not half bad I would like to think..... but I won't think that because we still have a long way more to go..
And worse still we have less than three weeks left.. Oh boy.... Nevermind.. Gambate!!! We can do it.. and we'll make it a really good show!

your optimism is misguided, young skywalker. it also makes me want to spew. blearrgh!
It is optimism which one needs old padawan. For without optimism one shall be swayed to the dark force. May the force of 'Ismail' be with you...
Lame!!! HAHHA
