Butt Fries

So I think I've decided to title each blog post with the catch phrase of the day at rehearsal. Today's catchphrase became "butt fries." Maddie said to me that she had "bought fries" and Josh thought she said "butt fries," so we all had a good laugh about that one. That's the great thing about drama - the bonding. You have so many inside jokes by the end of the play's run that it's hard to remember them all!

Today we just finished the read through and then talked a bit about the set and ideas for characters, costumes, etc. I'm still unsure what to do with the set, if we should go all out or keep it simple. I'm leaning toward the latter, but I know some people want to build this really fantastic set. That's all well and good, but that takes time and lots of money (and plenty of ingenuity), and with so many scene changes I'm worried that the set may become OVERLY complicated if we try to jazz it up at all. The script was written with a simple set and a lot of pantomime involved and the script is strong enough to support that. I want to start blocking at tomorrow's rehearsal, so I better figure something out -- and fast!

And on that note, I better get to sleep. I need to try to get to school early tomorrow and get some things accomplished before 7:20. *sigh* Hopefully the next time I post something, I'll have the set all drawn up and everything. Once I have it drawn up, I'll post a picture too.

Peace, love, and chicken grease,
