So the purpose of this blog is to not only fulfill a requirement for a class but also to keep a written record of my severe addiction to all things Theatre. 

This semester I'm taking a "special problems/special topics" class with our universities new Theatre Director. Basically I'm getting credit to learn how to Assistant Direct as well as Stage Manage. We're working on two shows right now, Marcus is Walking and J.B. I'm really excited about both! 

We've started rehearsal for Marcus is Walking and I'm really impressed with Jeanne (the Director) and they way she handles rehearsals and we students in general. I adore her and I'm certain both casts do as well. It's nice to have someone who actually likes their job and what they are doing! 

So far during rehearsals I've just been taking notes and paying attention to how Jeanne interacts with the actors to get the desired effect of the scenes. It's really impressive. Speaking of impressive, I love the cast for Marcus. They constantly make me laugh and I can tell this is going to be a super fun show. I have yet to really work with the J.B. cast but *hopefully* I'll get a little play time with them at the end of this week. (That is if I'm not completely consumed in my Maid of Honor duties this weekend.)

Speaking of duties I should probably get to class but I'll be sure to update more as our drama unfolds. 

Ciao!
