Line Run: The Art of Memorization


Even though the cast of Anything Goes has only been rehearsing for 3 weeks, the cast had all their lines and songs memorized for the two line runs we had January 3rd and 4th. This was in the best interest for us because this way we can learn our blocking and dances to the best of our abilities. Our line runs consisted of us sitting in a circle and saying our lines one after the other to show that we have our lines (and cues!) completely memorized. The cast took time out of their winter break to practice their lines, but don’t worry - it wasn’t a burden to us because we have the determination to succeed and to make this musical the best it can be (the only people it really was a burden to was the people having to hear one of us reciting our lines over and over again or when we forced them to play one of the other characters so we could practice).
