Ah, the first read-through. The cast is meeting for the first time. The great work is beginning. No one has yet embarrassed themselves with their pronunciation of the first folio text! It’s a glorious day!
Our first read-through of Julius Caesar!
Having been on board with Smith Street Stage since April, fundraising, starting this blog, and watching the casting process, it felt like Christmas morning to get to the first read! Hearing the play out loud is a great reminder that the rehearsal process cannot just take place in your own head. As many times as I might hypothesize about whether a modern day Calphurnia would more likely be a Kitchen Nightmares viewer or a West Wing viewer, the real work happens in the room! With other beautiful humans! How lucky we are!
Our preview performance is in exactly 4 WEEKS, so bring out your Advent Wreath (I know you’ve longed to have another occasion to use that thing) and mark your calendars!
Now go thy ways and enjoy some beautiful summer weather!
