Feb. 18

Presidents day wasn't a holiday at the theatre. We continued to work on Harriet the Spy and the Charity League Follies production. Tonight we took publicity photos of Harriet the spy cast. The Follies rehearsal tonight worked through the choreography of the song Save the Country and Convoy. It is interesting to me watching as 50 people try to learn the movement. It is often just a idea that you create when choreographing for a large group. Watching everyone doing the movements either makes you want to celebrate when it works or sick to your stomach when it doesn't. Fortunately tonight it worked. At first everyone was confused but then slowly they began to get it. Asking people to clap their hands and walk on the beat of the music is not as easy as it looks. Everyone feels or hears music differently.

This week we will be working hard at finishing the set for Harriet the Spy while starting up Crowns for its second week of the extended run.
