Little Shop of Horrors: Day 23

Today we began with Act 1 as we hadn't worked on any rehearsals for a while whilst we designed the set and worked on the more administrative side of the show. As we've been saying for a while, the show is in a very good state and ready to go. The only main issue is line learning, personally I feel that I'm getting better with lines in every practice. But I think as a group, our main target is to make sure we get the lines learnt as that will allow us to move around a lot more as give the performance our own creative edge, without the rigid structure of the script and immobilisation holding the script gives us. Throughout, I was making an effort to learn my lines as I performed but did encounter a nosebleed during Mushnik and Son, which stopped us from practicing. So i think, that is one musical number that we need to work on.

When we finished performing act 1 we moved into the hall and carried on working on the set, plant and whatever needed doing. As I'm in charge of the programme I continued working on that and organising the structure of what I wanted to put in it. Again, everyone knew what they needed to do and got on. Leading to it being another productive lesson.
