Countdown to The Prison
We held the last normal rehearsal for The Prison tonight. Tech week (AKA hell week) begins next Monday. Normally at this stage, I’m worried about how we will pull everything together before opening night.
This time, it’s no different. I’m still worried.
Miraculously, it all seems to come together during tech week, so we just move forward in faith that it’ll happen again with this production too. Everyone teams together during the final week, and we’ve had some of our best performances after the worst rehearsals. It’s just further proof that you never know what’s going to happen.
It is fun to see things start to gel — acting, lights, sound, and multimedia. Amidst the craziness tonight, I saw glimpses of brilliance. It’s there, we just need to fine tune it during the remaining rehearsals.
Below are a few more “behind the scenes” pictures — see the real thing on May 1 and 2 at 7:30 pm at Abundant Life Church in Plano.
