A bit of theatre

A while ago DH, teen and I auditioned for a musical. Well DH and teen planned to audition and somehow I went along for a lark because a relative was around to babysit. We all ended up getting parts. First rehearsal was supposed to be last Thursday in Jerusalem but for some reason it did not take place, can you guess why? People got creative though and this evening we had an online Zoom rehearsal for the opening scene. It was silly, it was complicated, it was fun and funny. I have no idea if this play will ever make it to stage, certainly not as scheduled because who knows when we will next be able to meet in person as a group to rehearse, let alone when theatre will be safe to open again. In the meantime we are planning to rehearse over Zoom. To tape choreographies to practice, record people singing and speaking their parts so that the show runners can get a feel for how everyone is doing and how it all comes together. It's ambitious and not the perfect platform for such an endeavour, but for teen in particular, this is a great project for right now. Stuck in our respective our homes we are learning lines and songs and trying to figure our out video instructions for dance routines within the confines of our bedrooms.
