Blocking - TUNA CHRISTMAS

This week, we are blocking the show - determining where and when actors enter and exit, where and when they move or sit. As the show has very little furniture, there's also a lot of pantomime - a coffee cup, an oven, decorating cookies, etc. We are also in the early stages of determining the differences for each actor between their characters - what makes Jody different than Charlene for David Odom? How does Mike change from Thurston to Elmer? It's a fun process that will continue until we get the entire show blocked and then we'll move into making more specific choices and further developing the characters.

On a separate note, this is the final weekend of SUITE SURRENDER - we have four shows this weekend, including Thursday, Friday and Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. If you haven't seen the show, come on down and support our great cast and crew!
