Pre-Line Run

After a four-day break, what’s better than coming back to school and preparing for the next day? Running lines, of course! As you know, the long weekend served as the perfect opportunity for perfecting our dialect, working on our lines, and memorizing our blocking. After getting together for the first time in a few days, we were pleasantly surprised to see the awesome set that Grant had worked on during the weekend. Mr. Howard, Heather and other cast members also came to Allen during their “break” to help out in every way they could.

The line run was a success! Actually, the real line run is scheduled for tomorrow, but we all want to get some practice before the real deal. This will be able to give us a general idea of what we can work on before coming to the line run. After all, we can only get better!

Fall Break?

Although campus is void from students for the next few days, the Earnest crew has never been busier. Back at Allen Theater, work still needs to be done with the set, lights, sound and much more. Most cast members have returned home, but some cast members that live locally are helping set everything up along with Mr. Howard, Heather and Grant. Not much of a break, huh? With only a week and a half until opening night, this "break" serves as the perfect opportunity to practice our lines, blocking and perfect our accents. Whether work is being done at the theater or at home, everyone is working very hard to make this production awesome!

But how can we run our lines when all of us live far from one another? Luckily, we can use Skype! It serves as a good way to communicate with one another in order to get off book by the time we return to school. Even though we are working diligently during our break, all of us are excited to put our best foot forward during the production.
