We are now officially 2 week to the day from OPENING NIGHT!!! I cannot believe that the time is so near to opening. It seems like just a little while ago we started talking about Lockerbie. In reality, many of us have been working on the show since March as Andrew Blevins pointed out in his recent blog post. It seems amazing to me that we now are looking at a nearly completed show after all this time!
The actors and I, along with the stage management team are thrilled that we only have two more rehearsals until we are on the REAL set in the theatre for good. It will be great to finally feel the set under our feet and get acquainted with the very intricate and amazing scenic elements after weeks of imagining the slops and hills taped out flat on the ground in the rehearsal space. We will be moving into a MUCH larger space and will have to figure out what that means for us in terms of blocking, vocal projection, and overall arch of the story we are telling on the stage. This likely means a lot of work on the details but I think I speak for all of us when I say we could not be more excited and READY to get into the theatre space and get this show up and ready.
