Wizard Tech and Dress Rehearsal

I watched Team 1 do the technical rehearsal of Wizard and how Bill set up the music and sound effects. Jo set up the lighting on the lighting board, Sue sorted out the props table and Jo S sorted the costumes. For the dress rehearsal I was the Scarecrow and we did a full run of the show from start to finish without stopping. It went quiet well except for one or two occasions where lines were forgotten and we had to cover. We had to only stop once at scene 7 when there was a bit of difficulty with moving the set before scene 8. After slightly changing the order of the script the show ran a lot more smoothly and there was time for the dads backstage to swap the set before scene 8. After learning my lines and sorting out my notes (Like I said I would last time) I found these rehearsals much easier, but I still have a long way to go before the shows. But, in the dress rehearsal I had a bit of trouble keeping my american accent all the way through the show, which i hadn't known before we did the full run so I will have to ask some of my friends to help me secure that before the shows begin! Once in costume I found some of the actions I had put in, such as the forwards roll, became tricky due to the restrictive dungarees that were part of my costume so I need to make sure I practise before going on stage for the first time on Tuesday!
