Rehearsal

Today's rehearsal was quite a significant rehearsal as for the first time both Jodie and Julia were hugely unimpressed with us. It really hit home as the show wasn't far away, and its not a nice feeling when your not up to expectations and being a perfectionist myself, it made me want to work even harder. There were so many different things that went wrong with the show run, not just on stage but off stage too. At this point in time, the show was merely a few weeks away and we should've been a lot better. 

As a company we really needed to wake up and be more productive, and on our game to get things perfect, and have important things sorted out. Costumes hadn't been bought or yet, people had forgotten props, money hadn't been raised, and ticket sales were low. It felt as if so many things were going wrong but everybody knew we needed to do something. After that rehearsal we had a company meeting and outlined within our small production groups what exactly needed to be done now, and the next set of deadlines that had to be met no matter what. We discussed what went wrong, what could be better, and how we were going to fix things from more rehearsals so rehearsal directors could clean and fix things, to costumes being ordered that night, fundraising events such as the dance off, cake sale, and more sponsorship letters going out. All in all, I feel that the meeting was productive and had set the bar a bit higher for what was next to come.
