That’s it! We are ready. Our final dress rehearsal is over and we are ready to go in front of an audience. Gareth has been giving us last minute guidance and tips – now his work is over and its down to us. Gulp!
Janet and the rest of the production team are all set up: Nic as Stage Manager will be ruling with her usual efficiency backstage, Richard will be hovering over the lighting board and newest and youngest member Reuben will have the challenge of our complex sound set-up.
The cast have that strange balance of excitement, eagerness and nerves but are keen to put all the effort and practice of the last 3 months into action.
So here are a few teaser photos from Dress Rehearsals…
Here we are at last. Just over eleven weeks after our first rehearsal for ‘A Kick In The Baubles’, tonight saw our final rehearsal in The Forum before we take the show onto the stage. And there are only around 15 seats left across the run so full houses are expected.
The Programmes are printed and ready
Everyone was buzzing and now eager to perform in front of an audience. Well, there are only a few days to wait for that particular form of nervous pleasure….
So what next? Friday and the weekend will be another form of hard work: set-building, after which we will be on stage to run our Technical and Dress rehearsals. If we thought we were busy over the last few weeks with extensive rehearsals and line learning then the two weeks of final rehearsals, set-building and performances are at another level.
Looking forward to seeing you all in the audience.
Yes, its 2017, its January, its play month and first night for A KICK IN THE BAUBLES is in 14 days! Gulp. Even if we say two weeks it still sounds scary as we recover from our festivities and seasonal ailments!
Its a case of picking up the momentum after the distraction of Christmas and New Year and so rehearsals have been intense over the last week and more. In our cramped rehearsal room we are running scenes with sound effects and props and essential costume items all adding to the pressure.
Now, as we bring the whole play together to practice the full run throughs we also begin to plan our set building operations which start at the end of next week, Friday 20th. And if you like a bit of DIY or even YDIIHI (You Do It, I’ll Hold It) then we always welcome help.
As we post this there are only 6 tickets left for Friday night, and the Thursday and Saturday are well filled too – so if you haven’t got your tickets yet don’t be disappointed, order them now by sending your request by clicking here: Book Tickets
