Preview week, to me, is one of the hardest weeks of my process. Not only do I need to be available with fresh coffee for the rehearsals, but I also have to begin figuring out my track for the preview performance. However, I continue to work on my check list (one of my favorite jobs) in order to consistently do my specific tasks required during the performance. The biggest job is preparing and doing the scene changes. There are eight!! I make a lot of beds, refresh the wine and food, and round up the supernumeraries, which are in costume and make scene changes onstage possible. I am so grateful for them! If not for their help the changes would be really boring and slow. 🙂 Opening week next week is always a relief. It’s nice to run the show with no new changes and to finally get into a routine.
