Welcome to the first blog post for 'Taming of the Shrew'! We are now in week three of rehearsal and there are more and more laughs every day. Without giving too much away, this is definitely going to be a funny show! For those of you out there who know the play, the induction plays a big part in our production. Many times, the induction is cut out of the script, but Melia (the director) came into this show with a really imaginative idea about how to use the induction to serve our production and we've been having fun putting that into practice since rehearsals started. It's been such a blast seeing the actors, designers and crew playing around with the idea and creating this terrific environment in 'The Garage' performance space at 38 JFK Street.
Just last night, for example, two of the actors had us in stitches as we staged Act 5 scene 1, where the real Vincentio and the fake Vincentio come face to face. The two actors playing the parts, Michael Forden Walker and Craig Mathers, had such a blast playing around with what actually happens when the two men see each other for the first time that those of us watching got a great show for free!
Suffice it to say there has not been a lack of laughter in the rehearsal room. Hopefully the audience will have as good a time watching it as we are having putting it together.
