The next main stage play being put on at Parkside Playhouse in Vicksburg MS is a piece written by a local. It is based on the shenanigans that take place in the green room during the performance. Tonight was our first table read. Less than half of the cast appeared.
There is a mixture of theatre veterans and newcomers in the cast. I myself am playing the part of the "Director" he's aloof and snazzily dressed. Among the other characters is the Stage Manager, other tech crew members, a couple of children, the diva, as well as other people you'll run into at a normal community theatre.
The read through went well. Though I didn't expect it to be so soon after the previous play which I was the light technician for. I was hoping to have at least a week to rest between shows. At least this next one I'm only acting in and not doing any tech work.
during the table read, the atmosphere was warm and friendly. We did what we had to and had fun with it. It took a little over an hour, I have a good feeling about this one. :)
