Everyday
Rehearsal, Rehearsal, Rehearsal, Rehearsal, Wine and Food, Rehearsal, Rehearsal
My group is, drum role… A wonderful hilarious brit named Emily, and an amazing wee aussi with a permanent smile named Liz, both of whom I am good friends, laugh constantly with and work with brilliantly. We did a skit together during our rehearsal Called “Dolce and Gabana” and realized how rocking we all clicked and thus team Roma was born.
Once groups were set everyone started rehearsing feverously to prepare for their first show the coming Friday, and begin to hack down on the butt load of a repertoire we would need to learn. At least for the first performance we would have a senior Theatrino actor coming to watch us, our friend from the suburbs of Chicago and absolutely hilarious mate named Brion. To start off this Friday performance well, we got lost for two hours within the neighborhood of where the school was because our tomtom was wack, and our directions were wrong, so we ended up driving in circles and ending at the exact same spot six times. We then talked to the teacher and drove around looking for a lady in a green coat, and when we found her, her coat was not even green, error proof morning.
We were suppose to perform Robin Hood and Three Little Pigs, and ended up only having time to performing a getto version of Three Little Pigs while Brion laughed at our suffering from the back of the gym and then followed that with a stumble through of a workshop. Thus was our first performance and already the next day, Saturday, we were shooting out to start our tour. We would make the eight hour drive to Rome, settle into the ACLE Flat there and begin Tour Roma bright and early Monday morning. It was amazing how quick training went yet how long it felt at the same time as our family of 30 or so bonded by the fact of the crazy fricken job and experience we were setting out on.
