(Third? Fourth? I think we might've skipped over a week in our coverage, but to go and put in an entry anachronistically... Nngh.)

The day before our first "official" in-class rehearsal, we met to rehearse again in the Black Box... or, more accurately, in the hallway outside the Black Box. Although we'd booked for 4:30, whoever was in there before us was still using it. "Fifteen more minutes, it's for a class," we were told... We didn't press the issue, but that 15 minutes turned into about 40 or so. Thus, as mentioned above, we spent most of our rehearsal time in a somewhat more cramped setting than what we'd staged. It was interesting to see how that shaped the way we proceeded through the script; the relative confinement gave it a rather different feel.

After that was the whole in-class thing. Since you all were there for that, I needn't go into any detail on it. Needless to say, the resulting notes should help direct us in refining the scene, which we plan to work on later this week.
