Kayla and I met on Friday, November 16th in the Troom to rehearse our scene. We combed through our script and marked more beats that we initially missed and different moods that need to be translated into actions. For example, after Doug reveals that he spoke to Kayleen's father we decided that there should be a noticeable three seconds of silence before Kayleen says her next line. Also, we discussed compromises in the scene's stage directions that wouldn't disrupt our performance of the scene. Instead of Doug literally kissing Kayleen on the mouth, Doug will passionately kiss Kayleen's hand (for the sake of the actor's comfort).
