About 25 minutes till our first paying audience gets a whiff of the Chicago Premiere of Mimesophobia. Brian S. is coughing, Michael is doing a vocal warmup. Asst. Sound Designer Matt Chapman is sitting on the couch eating Subway. Jess and Cyd I can hear running lines in the other dressing room.
We have a crowd of about 10 today - which is just what we need. A few bodies, a little laughter, and some genuine interaction for this play, which is probably at least 35% talking directly to the audience. I'm very eager for some faces to speak with.
We spent the morning, from 11am-on cleaning up light cues, refocusing some instruments, and tightening the physical comedy of the piece.
The show looks fantastic - awesome job by our designers and Margot creating a beautiful, eerie shell of a world for this play to live in.
We're going to have fun today.
