Day 14



Oh no! Tina has been having some trouble with her wrist and we got it checked out today. Luckily nothing is broken but unfortunately there isn't really much to be done about it other than just wait and see if it gets better or worse.  Sparrow Theater Company hopes it'll get better soon!

After our visit to the ICU we had time to work out some more kinks in our working order of moments. It looks like we're close to having all the standard theatrical moments we'd like to include and our sights are gradually turning to the other elements of the show, such as workshops.

As we prepare for the week to come (so much for a day off!) we are trying to stay on our toes. As soon as we run the show through tomorrow we'll start shaking it up and changing it around! We are trying to be sure that we don't get locked into anything just because we've done it that way already. We can always resurrect sequences that we miss but if we keep what we tried the first time we might miss out on a lot of cool stuff.

We are also engaged in work outside of the piece itself. Bianca Roman, who is hosting our piece in Wilkes Barre at The Lamp Post- Chapter One has invited us to take part in a zine publication. Interestingly, she would like our answers to the questions she has sent us to be written out and published in our own handwriting... cool! Can't wait to see how it turns out Bianca! Thanks so much for having us in there and at your event.

Its a good thing we finally got a printer up here (with a scanner) because we can take care of the zine responses as well as printing out scripts out. We've been flipping through our notebooks like mad people every time we try to do a run. This will give us a chance to comb through our text thus far and further tweak and hone the material we are working with. Plus, it might make our runs a little smoother and less... frantic.

Okay Deuces.

P.S. We have just received word the the rehearsal space we are using is officially titled Tranquility Base - and aptly so! It has been just that for us. In fact, I think today is the first day we have managed to get through the whole day without taking a nap. Anyways, thanks so much to Stephen Cody for letting us use his wonderful Tranquility Base. Also, today we parted ways with our first ever Sparrow Theater Company intern- so thanks a lot Morgan! We'll miss ya!
