All seven hours were the cue-to-cue.  We got no run-thru, at all.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

Since we didn’t run the show, our director extended calling for lines thru tomorrow.

Remembering the line vibes for DR TCB.....I think that speed thru really did a number on the cast.....it wasn't the time to do it....and line notes make me crazy....especially before I've had at least a couple of rehearsals off book onstage....CRAZY....I blame the director for this dilemma.....


I agree completely, Jack, on everything you said.  But I am keeping my mouth shut and being a team player.

Our adorable little Virginia can’t even be heard by other people on stage, let alone inside a theater full of audience members.

Usually we have to pause for a few moments whils somebody goes calling for her.

It doesn’t matter, if her entrance is from backstage she is out in the lobby; if she is supposed to enter from the lobby, she is upstairs in the dressing room.

It is really a shame for her sake.  If she ever wants to do this on a regular basis, you are short-changing her by coddling her.
