Juno notes 5

The Final Stages!
We went books down last week, and very impressive it was too. I cannot vouch for Monday night's rehearsals but the hard task mistress Sarah Jane said it was good, and that is high praise indeed. Thursday night was excellent. This stage in a production is usually marked by a lot of pain and winced faces, but so far so good. Congratulations to everyone on their hard work.

Rehearsal Schedule from now till showtime
The week beginning the 5th will be the last week of regular rehearsals. Act One and all two/ three handers of act one cast on Monday. The party and killing scenes on Thursday! (aka Act two scene two onwards).

From the 12th we will be running the full show every night. This means starting bang on eight o clock, and running straight through to end of Act 2, quick break and then Act 3. We will have four runs at this, ie two weeks.

On Monday the 19th ( the bank holiday) we will be in the Leinster Cricket Club in Rathmines, starting at 7.30. We will do the whole show, and with a lot of emphasis on the scene with furniture removal men/ johnny/ irregulars/Mobiliser.
If you haven't been to the cricket club before check with Charles for directions.

Then, as unbelievable as it is that all has moved so quickly we are into dress rehearsals.

Practical notes:
CAST: If you have not sent me your biog for for the programme it has gone beyond ridiculous and I will be holding your hand to a piece of paper this week.
Please also ensure that you have checked in with Avril and that you are on track for getting your costume/s together.

CREW: Jean has been doing a stellar job with props, and we are nearly all set on that front. Roger, Charles, Andrew and Noeleen will be working out the set box shortly, and all cast will be expected to give a hand in set construction, painting and striking.

PR: Tickets will be available as of this week, as will flyers for distribution. We hope to have a picture in The Gloss magazine this month, and will as ever flaunt our selves shamelessly through the theatre listings to bring in the masses.
