One Practice Down, Three to Go

We survived our first weekly practice last Tuesday. Only three to go.
Walking into the Hegeler Carus Mansion, Amanda and I found the main hallway lined with nearly 30 chairs, each one representing one of the players in the show. As our fellow actors filled the space, the feeling was both overwhelming and comforting. When we were first asked to take part, I pictured about a dozen people taking part in the show. Being surrounded by others who have spent years acting, even if only at the local level, had me thinking we were in over our head, since the limit of my acting credentials are a few small parts in junior high plays and Amanda even less.
Nonetheless, knowing there were enough people in the program that two journalists could easily disappear into the background helped buck my overall confidence. Rehearsal number 2 is tonight. Check in later for stories on costumes and car problems.
