What we did
For our first rehearsal of the day in Deming, we worked the show song again with Brooke, adding the instruments and a bit of choreography as well! Then, we circled up and went over the notes that Mili had from the night before, then ended rehearsal by putting in Topher as George, Duke of Clarence. During our second rehearsal after lunch, we picked up where we left off, then had a full fight call, and ran the show all the way through!

Production Insights
The vibes have continued to increase from the day before and maybe we have Hall and Oates to thank! Each day I get more and more excited for the finished product, but part of the fun is the journey itself and taking it day by day to see what we can do and discover. As the quick-and-quotable section insinuates, a lot of laughs are had.
