Johnny Richardson

We rehearsed our final scene on Sunday in the black box. The first aspect of our rehearsal was figuring out our set and what props we might want to include. Judging from our script we decided that we didn’t need to many material items within the scene. This is because in the beginning of the play Dennis’s apartment was described as one that could be theoretically packed up within 30 minutes. However, there were essentials that were mentioned in the script like a couch, chair, a bed that was laid out on the floor and a kitchen aid. We also decided that we would be moving within a fairly small space, since it is supposed to be a studio in New York that doesn’t have enough space anyway. We ended up setting up our general set, which our scene will take place (picture below).

Additionally, we read through all our lines and tried to figure out the spatial relationship we will maintain throughout certain spots in the scene due to the plethora of emotional states that our characters go through during this time.
