Rehearsal 5-12-09

Posted by DCA Theater on May 14, 2009 in January-June 2009 Season, INCUBATOR Series: Rubicon Theatre Project

by Josh Johnson, Artistic Director

I had the opportunity to sit in on rehearsal on Tuesday and had the pleasure of seeing the beginning stages of the script come to life. As an observer of the process, not directly involved with the production, its exciting to see how well the actors we’ve selected to work with are embodying their characters. (For more info about the actors, including headshots and bios, visit our website at www.rubicontheatreproject.org) And perhaps its the “director” in me but I couldn’t help but begin to imagine other elements of the production, such as lighting, that will remain absent for this particular project at the DCA. Our director, James Whittington, is doing a good job of making use of the space and minimal feel of the script to really cause the viewer to use their imagination. I’m looking forward to returning to rehearsal this week to see the additional progress the actors have made with additional sections of the script. Even thought this is simply a workshop, I’m glad we’ll be able to present portions of the script “on its feet” rather than simply as a reading. Hopefully the audience will feel the same way!
