One step at a time. In the midst of the wonderful frenzy of opening GRACE & GLORIE, I've been able to solidify another cast member. Marie Coll has accepted the role of Sister Clarissa. Marie has never been in an HG play before and is excited about getting her feet wet. Whew. I'm meeting with a few boys this weekend for other two roles.
Last night at the final rehearsal for G&G I found myself again marveling at the power of live theatre. Watching these two women inhabit the skin of Grace and Gloria is a privilege. That performance last night--at the rehearsal--will never be repeated. The one tonight for Relay for Life team members and cancer survivors will never be repeated. Opening night tomorrow will never be repeated. That's a powerful thought...and I'm so glad I am witness to so many unique moments...and am grateful for the opportunity to spend so much of my life in the process.
Even if the process can be harrowing due to casting issues. But I'm envisioning getting started. Deb and Jeff are getting together this Saturday for our first rehearsal. We'll read through the two major scenes that Ellen and Chet have alone. I've also sent out some dates for certain pages of the script to be memorized.
And we're off..........!
