Another busy day ahead and its already 3:30pm, I should be saying that it was a busy day but after last night star party which went into the wee hrs of the night I didn’t start the day until 11am. Highlight for today is the kick off dinner for the play. After weeks of auditioning and preparing to direct my first play, I have my cast and stage manager together. At 6 we will meet in Darmstadt and do a little get to know and then record the play. I plan to record it on 4 channels and then offer the cast mp3’s with all 4 voices and also just the 3 others. I done this in the past and found that its a great way to learn lines. As you listen and then, all of a sudden there’s a gap in dialogue, it means you just miss your cue.Just giving a thought for some icebreaker games….I wonder if they know how to play grass?
I am just so happy to have found the cast, I think they are all perfect for the roles of Vicky, Mark Judith and Eric. Having played the role of Mark some 15 years ago has helped in keeping a clear picture in my mind of the various scenes and stage setup. The lighting is simple but I have to start work on the sound effects. I need some opera music from Puccini, toilet flushing sound effects act 2 and more.
Ok, gotta finish cleaning the house and get going.
catch ya later,
