Gabe and I performed our scene two weeks ago, and I thought it went great! I remember having great chemistry with Gabe and feeling very grounded in the scene. The stakes were high and the given circumstances were real both to the actor and the audience. I have loved working with Gabe as he is very methodical and thoughtful in his approach. 

There are a few things we need to work on: Catherine's interaction with Robert before Hal arrives, Catherine's reaction to Hal's slamming of the door, Hal's behavior and intentions with Catherine, and Catherine's offering of  champagne to Hal. I'm sure there are more but that is all I can think of at the moment. 

Gabe and I have been discussing our scene and we are beginning to realize how complicated and awkward our characters really are. Catherine is proving to be a greater challenge than expected because she is so closed off to the other characters, I happen to feel very closed off and distant with Catherine as an actor. I hope I gain a sense of Catherine's mannerisms and emotional makeup in our upcoming rehearsals.
