A Tempest Comes To Life

Today we gathered to create the storm and shipwreck. We welcomed our six spirits, who jumped right in to the action. In less than three hours we built the entire scene, with lots of input and help from everyone. Meanwhile, outside the rehearsal hall, we enjoyed a tempest of our own - the first downpour that we've had in weeks occurred just as we were running the entire storm scene for the first time. I thought that this was an auspicious event and bodes well for us. As Prospero says at the beginning of Act V "Now is my project gathered to a head." We are ready for our first "stumble through" on Sunday.

Thank you to everyone, especially to Myles and Sarah, for the incredible amount of work that went into getting the entire play up on its feet in five days.
