Last night we got the gang together to read through Waitless for the first time with our performers and the production team. While rehearsals will start in earnest in July, we're taking some time on the front end to workshop the script and subtly adjust it to the new, unified vision that playwright Cailin and director Ted Lange have created together since beginning work together in January of this year. Additionally, since Waitless relies so heavily upon two characters and their relationship, both Ted and Cailin want to give our two fantastic actors, Jessica and Andrew, the opportunity to collaborate on their characters.
Cailin came away from last night with some rewrites, and we'll be getting together again next week to get away from the table and on our feet (but hopefully still with awesome snacks!).
On a fun note, we're keeping the snacks "Trent & Shelly Approved": spicy hummus AND salsa! We had to threaten Cailin to keep the bottle of Smack My Ass And Call Me Sally Habenero Sauce away from the veggie dip!
