The play Radium Girls will be presented this Friday and Saturday: just four days from now. Therefore, we have started doing extra-long dress rehearsals this week. They are seriously pretty long, going for four hours after school normally ends. A short dinner break is taken a little more than halfway in.
Fortunately, everybody is pretty solid on lines. The costume changes necessary from here on out are going to require some getting used to. I have five characters and therefore a nontrivial amount of changes, two of which can hold up the show if not done quickly. I also need to have accents to help the audience differentiate the characters I play, so there's that complexity as well.
Overall, it looks to be a great show. Technical aspects (lighting and sound) were almost fully worked out today, lines and character development are fairly solid, and we just need to get the props and costumes figured out the rest of this week.
