Open Wardrobes

The Hanging of the Greens at Lakeshore Players opens just one week from Thursday, so it's coming up fast! It's a little sad to think that it will all be over in less than a month, but it will be exciting to start performances. We're now in the phase where each rehearsal consists of a runthrough, plus working any specific bits that need it. We are adding more and more props each day, which also means figuring out when they go on and off. We are officially off book and so I feel that we're all able to interact more with each other, not having to be staring at scripts all the time. The relationships are really starting to come alive, in no small part due to how we've gotten to know each other's real life selves better over the course of the rehearsals. New things are still emerging, wonderful little moments which continue to add to the reality of the world. I am excited to get to the point of performances, though aware of the work that still needs to be done. Claudia has again been a great director to work with, kind in her praise and honest in her criticism, and focused on making this a great show. Normally this is the point in the production process where people start panicking, wondering if everything is going to pull together, but I haven't sensed any of this with Greens. I've found Lakeshore to be a well-run ship where people know what they need to do and do it well, so I have no worries! So if you're in the area, come join us for opening night on Thursday, December 4th at 7 PM (there's an opening night party afterwards, how can you say no to that?).
