Tale End Preview - Jan. 27, 2007

from Marcel
Not sure if we have pictures of this one... I don't recall taking any. Anyway, we've got that under our belt and it's done.

We had an appreciative audience on both nights. Their verbal response as well as what was not said was duly noted. (Sometimes silence says it all.) All in all, this provides us with information that will be useful in tweaking the piece. The bottom line is that they were all taken for a ride the last 2 nights... but we can always refine a better product.

Sure, there were flubs, etc. And yes. there is some tightening and tinkering to do before the Rogue in a month. The point is that the piece played (thank you S, H & ST) despite those flubs. And it played grandly at that! There was was never a point that the audience could be snapped out or zone out on the piece. That is a testament to the talent and focus of the actors and our crack one man crew. Great big, fat KUDOS on a job very well done.

Now the trick is to tweak. It will be important for all concerned to read the script almost daily. Not so much to refresh line memorization but just as a piece of reading matter. Often I have found that when you are in the picture... a step back out makes the bigger vista a lot crisper and clearer.

To those who graced us with your presence... Thank You. For those of you who missed it... eh!
