Open Wardrobes

Somehow the readthrough of a one-man show lacks something. At any rate, last night I sat down with the entire cast of Schrödinger's Cat Must Die! to read through Dr. Volt's dialogue and get an idea of the total time. Dr. Volt's bits ran about 34 minutes in total, which is pretty close to where it needs to be (I expect the Assistant's bits to run about a half hour as well), and if anything might be a little long (once you add some pauses, reacting with audience, etc). So I was rather glad to find out the show isn't going to only run 30 minutes! My deepest fear was to find out that the show was, in its current state, was far too short to fill an hour.

It felt good to start to hear things out loud, and though I still have a few script issues to resolve, I feel that I am very close to starting rehearsals in earnest!
