Remember this Labor Day Weekend? While you were off causing trouble and whatnot? Well the Stick Fly cast/crew spent the weekend working their patooties off (as my mother would say). Saturday was the first day of tech (aka “technical rehearsals”). 11:00am-9:30pm. The actors worked on the set, with the props, in the costumes, over the sound, under the lights, and other such prepositional phrases. The designers were all present, and McCarter’s crew was putting in long hours to support their work. It was a huge day, but a lot was accomplished.

Sunday, most of the crew had a day off, and the actors came in for a “work-light rehearsal,” without the costumes, lights, sound, but on the set. Fight Supervisor Brent came in and taught some new punches (I can’t tell you more about it without spoiling the play!), but it was kinda awesome. Anyway, it was a busy busy weekend. Don’t you worry, the actors got Monday off. Today is another tech rehearsal (10:00am-11:00pm!), and we’ll be rehearsing until late in preparation for tomorrow’s Final Dress Rehearsal. And then Friday is the First Preview! Time flies when you’re having fun.
