A few minutes ago, we began our first rehearsal for the upcoming Monday Night World Theatre series dramatic reading of SIXTEEN WOUNDED by Eliam Kraiem. Today, Walter Schoen (left, playing Hans) and Adam Saunders (right, playing Mahmoud) met for the first time (Adam just flew in from Los Angeles). Together, they are working with Donna Coghill (director) and Martin Sulzer-Reichel (dialect coach/cultural consultant) on nuances of the piece including accents, cultural issues, etc. Amy Berlin (stage manager) is here to keep the rehearsal moving smoothly.
Earlier today, Donna and Amy arrived to get the space ready, tables set and check out the greenroom (which had been prepped by Nancy Balboni and Elizabeth Kirkwood). Since there are only 3 days to rehearse, it is extremely important that everything be ready-to-go. Time is everything.
Special thanks to Dana Rajczewski and Ben Paul for their help setting up Cousins Studio Theatre this afternoon and to Sean Farrell and Mike Burns for hanging the lights and setting the platforms yesterday. We are in very good shape for this reading.
Tomorrow, the full company arrives for the first read-through. It will be very exciting to see all of the pieces come together. Stay tuned for more updates.
