More Shakespeare

Rehearsals for the Scottish Play continue. We've done most of the blocking, and are working on timing. Most of the kids are good, and dedicated -- but we've got a couple of real squirrels (especially the drummers -- yikes!).

We've also had some issues with dedication -- kids flaking out, not showing for rehearsal, and just being too dang busy. Our director is going quietly nutz.

We're going to have two actual performances, one for the students during school, and another later that evening. I'm being a real trooper (if I do say so myself), since the date is the same as the Dodgers/Angels preseason game at Blue Heaven on Earth (aka Dodger Stadium) - Thursday, April 2.

No more this Thane of Cawdor shall deceive our bossom interests. Go, proclaim his present death. And with his former title, greet Macbeth.

(Except our Thane of Cawdor is being played by a girl -- so I'll say 'her')

  1. Shakespeare is fun, no matter what other people say! I've always wanted to act in a Shakespeare play, although not being able to hear is a minor barrier to that goal.

    So... had your fill of Manny news yet?
