Another Trip!!

So in two weeks I will be be spending a week touring London!! Finally the trip has arrived. Well, almost arrived. 16 more days. It's a large group...41 of us. There are 13 adults going, including my mother. I'm sure that will be fine. No, really.

We get two full days off from "organized tours" that are just free days for us. Those are the days I'm really looking forward to. I'll be escaping the children and spending a day at RADA with Kyle Soller and then the other day spending it with my mom. I don't know what shows we're seeing yet, I'll find out at the beginning of next week.

Until we go tho, we are heavy into rehearsals for Drood! We had a run through of the first act yesterday. Off book and they did ok. Only a few line calls and one train wreck where they had to get their scripts at the end of the act. For the first time through it ran an hour and 40 minutes. UGH. When I told them how long they all looked devastated. They know it shouldn't be that long. It's timing issues within the scenes and no track sheets. We should be able to easily shave off a good 15 minutes. We finally got an accompanist!! That's the thing we're really behind on, the music. There is a saga there, but I won't go into it. I'm proud of the students for stepping up and taking ownership so quickly and so completely. And the seniors really moving in to be leaders. The cast knows that the show doesn't get done and they want to make sure that they do a good job. It will be hard to leave them at the end of the year. Not hard to leave Woodbridge, but to leave them.

Ok, that's it for now. Talk to you all soon I hope:)
