What are we up to?
                                                                               
After a couple weeks of rehearsals we figured you would want to know what we have been doing so far. The Atrium will be broken into four quadrants, one for each show. The stage managers have taped out two of these quadrants in our make-shift basement rehearsal space, one in a back room to allow for simultaneous rehearsals. Still on-book, we have been roughly blocking, trading off shows. To maximize efficiency, Mr. Howard and Annie worked over March Break to create the best system to block four TV shows at once. The result: an A cast and a B cast. As previously mentioned, there are four sitcoms involved in the spring play. Everyone in the show is part of two different sitcoms. For this to work, everyone in Scrubs, for example, is also in The Big Bang Theory. Those people are known as the B cast. The A cast is rehearsing their two shows at the same time. Rehearsals generally start off with meeting as a group and getting a briefing from Mr. Howard before starting our warm ups. Then we split off into our A and B casts with Mr. Howard and Annie switching back and forth. Every so often, to help remain as one team, we have show & tell. Essentially we set time aside for the A cast to show the B cast what they have been working on and vice-versa. May is coming up quickly!
