Christmas Carol at the Alley

Tonight I finished the 26th show of A Christmas Carol. I had mixed feelings about the closing. I'll miss the friends I have there and not sure if I'll get to do it again because I'm getting so tall. The Alley Theatre is a great place to work. The backstage crew is great and all the technical stuff with the show. I'm glad I have a show to go to which is also part of mixed feelings because now I need to concentrate on MidSummer Night's Dream at the opera. It's easier when a show ends when you have another one to go to. Still, I'll miss the cast and crew at The Alley.

Beginning Rehearsals at The Alley

Tonight was first night for rehearsals for A Christmas Carol at the Alley Theater in Houston. There are a lot of rehearsals held to prepare for the actual performances. Tonight we worked on dialect. The stage manager emailed a web site to download what we worked on. There will also be rehearsals for music, running lines and staging (movement onto, on and off stage). I've already had my costume fitting and there was an orientation meeting to let us all know the rules and business information. I'll try to keep track of how many total hours I spend at rehearsals for this show to blog at the end of rehearsals.
