Before we Open

This week I'm in tech rehearsals for The Real Inspector Hound by Tom Stoppard at the Orono Community Theater.  It has been a very hectic week with long days and nights but the show is wonderful.  

The process started back in February with auditions.  Orono is about an hour away from Ellsworth (where we live) so the commute this winter was, at times, difficult.  I think we canceled four or five rehearsals including the first read through.  The cast, all Bangor & Orono or thereabouts locals, worked very hard.  Stoppard plays are never easy.  The language is demanding and timing is everything.  They've worked very hard and I'm so proud of the cast.  Oh, and the facial hair in this show is out of control.
