The Boards, Wednesday Evening [Rehearsal]

Troy was... perhaps a little bouncy today, yes, upon arriving at the Boards -- which he really needed to get around to moving into, now that the renovations were finished. But that could wait.

Because it was time for REHEARSALS!

There were pitchers of ice water set up on a table at the side of the stage, and a notebook and pencil for each member of the cast; Troy was up on stage this time, rather than in the audience, ready to work with his cast.

His cast. How awesome was that?

That is rather what we do.

"Okay, everyone," Troy said, after they'd all arrived. "Let's get into a circle -- we're going to start off with introductions. I know, I know, most of you guys probably know each other already, but you're going to be working pretty closely together over the next few weeks.

"So what we're going to do is give your name and something you like that starts with the first letter of your name. But it's not that simple! 'Cause you're going to have to find some way to act out what you like. Like, I'm Troy, and I like..." He hesitated a moment -- he really should decided on this ahead of time, although that did feel like cheating -- before stepping in and swinging an imaginary racket. "Tennis! Okay, now you go," he finished, pointing to the person to his left.

After the warm-up, Troy pointed to the table. "Okay, everyone grab a notebook and a pencil," he said. "What we're going to do today is get started on figuring out what we're actually going to be doing in the show itself. I know that some of you already have some idea -- but we're going to sit down and start working on developing some things. Do you want to do one song? Two? Write your own monologue or find one of someone else's?

"Do you have any suggestions for things that should be in the show, too, that maybe you don't want to, or don't feel up to, doing yourself? Feel free to suggest things for your cast-mates -- this is going to be a collaboration."

"What I'd like to see," Jono stated, looking up from his coffee and managing something like a smile, "would be some sort of collaborative piece between the lot of you. Rinoa on piano and Hank on..." A pause. "On something else, while our singers do a choral number and Elphaba and Karla use their respective powers to put on some sort of display. Maybe Juliet does a spoken intro for it..."

Jono had an artistic vision, here, apparently.

[Messy-ping away! Seriously, throw stuff out there -- stuff you'd like your pups to do, stuff you'd like other characters to do, comment on what other people are saying, start collaborating on things -- maybe Petra and Rinoa want to do a piece together? Or maybe Mercy and Tara want to do a duet! Have fun, though, that's the main thing!]

When they make with the pinging!

I am around all day, and I think

apocalipped is as well! Seriously, yo, having fun is the name of the game here.
