Rehearsals are going great so far. The entire cast is phenomenal. The director is great and the writer is great.

The first rehearsal was basically a table read and a thorough discussion about the play. We each had to introduce ourselves and mention our backgrounds and whatnot.

Sturgis, the director, is basically breaking the play down, scene by scene. Asking us questions about our characters. We are just sitting in chairs right now. The writer has been constantly tweaking the play over the past few days, and tightening up the dialogue and whatnot which is an actual benefit to workshopping a new unpublished script. He is open to input and collaboration and he'll see something that we do and it will spark an idea for him to write.

It is starting to dawn on me the responsibility I have to help carry this show. It is a bit daunting as I am called upon to be on stage pretty much the whole show outside of one scene and to weave in and out of just about every human emotion we know of and possibly some that haven't existed till this play was written (kidding, of course).

This is going to be a great challenge as an actor and I hope I don't suck.
