This previous week… well, a lot of stuff happened, but the long and the short if it is that we started working in earnest on generating material for the show. I think the group now agrees with my suggestion that we focus on characters, theme, and images and allow the narrative to emerge on its own. I’m not sure everyone trusts that this will work, but for now we all seem to be on the same page.  I missed the Monday rehearsals, but we started adding Thursday rehearsals.

Meanwhile, Amazon delivered the boxes for the costume inventory to my house instead of the theatre, so yesterday (Saturday), I went into Kawasaki with my friend Harry to drop them off at JDS. After that, Aleyna and I walked over to Unidy (hardware store) to price out wood, paint, and other items we’ll need for the set. Aleyna leaves on the 30th, so we’ve got to get the key parts of the set (the frame) built this coming week.

The stress starts from here…

The show is going up August 17 and 18 both in-person and live on the internet (with recordings available for those who can’t watch it live).

The showtimes have finally been posted! At the moment, we have shows scheduled at 11:00 and 21:00 on the 17th, and at 15:00 on the 18th (Japan Standard Time). We may be adding an afternoon show on the 17th to accomodate the JDS kids.
