The rehearsal process has its ups and downs. Through hardships, crying, laughing, cursing, and more, a cast can become a family. With that being said, however, sometimes a simple two-hour rehearsal gets you thinking. A lot.
I don't know how I'm gonna get through 2 hours.
Crap, I need to do that paper when I get back.
Why do I ever dress up for rehearsal?
I should have just worn a sweatshirt.
If I get back from rehearsal at approximately 10:01, I'll have 30 minutes to do my paper and then I'll shower.
Wait, no I have that other assignment too.
Crap.
When am I going to shower?
Ugh, the cast is getting in a circle. What is it this time?
Please don't be the counting game with our eyes closed because I swear I'll fall asleep.
Well, guess I'm gonna fall asleep.
Please, no improv games. Please, no improv games.
UGH I DONT WANT TO DO THIS IMPROV GAME.
Maybe it won't be too bad.
Nope, this is bad.
Can we just start this run-through already so I can go back to my room and sleep?
I can't even sleep when I get back because of this stupid paper.
Crap.
Would anyone notice if I just left right now?
Yeah, they probably would.
Now the run-through is starting.
Please don't say that line weird again, Jackie. You said it really weird last night.
I have so much energy right now! People are laughing! This is going well!
Oh, wait, it's just the director laughing.
I'm not funny. I'll never be funny. Why do I do theatre?
Why... did... she... say... that... line... that... way?
Ugh, I want to tell her that it's not funny and she's embarrassing herself.
Okay, Jackie. Calm down. Focus on the scene!
The author of this show makes so many typos. How do they get their work published? Jeez.
Oh no, I just remembered one day I'll actually have to memorize these lines.
Maybe I'll do it tonight after I get back from rehearsal.
CRAP I JUST THOUGHT OF MY HOMEWORK AGAIN.
Why do these rehearsals get out so late?
I really want to check my phone but I don't want to look unprofessional.
QUICK THE DIRECTOR IS LOOKING AWAY NOW IS YOUR TIME.
Just what I thought, no messages. Typical.
Crap the director totally noticed I was checking my phone.
Why can't you say any of your lines right Jackie?
Oh no... oh no... I have to pee.
Really bad.
Oh no.
This is bad.
I have 6 pages until I don't have any lines. I don't know if I can last until then.
Alright, Jackie. Breathe. Breathe.
Nope, I'm gonna have to leave.
Alright, I'm back, what did I miss?
YES I MISSED THE PART THAT I HATE DOING.
Nice timing, bladder!
Oh my God we aren't even close to the end of the first act and I already want to be in bed.
Power through. You can do this.
Finally we're done with act 1.
Only a 5 minute break? This is all a scam.
Now we're back. Thank the Lord act II is always shorter than act I.
Must. Stop. Yawning.
My energy is seriously lacking at this point.
Wow, it's so bad how much I'm yawning right now.
Maybe it's a character choice? Yeah, I'll go with that.
Seriously, why can't you say any of your lines right tonight?!
YES! WERE DONE. NOW I CAN RUSH TO FINISH MY PAPER!
Wait.. no.... NOOOOoOoOoo!! We're running through act 2 again because our energy was lacking.
Please, God help me through this.
You did it. Pat on the back, now we can go home.
Oh wait, there's this thing called notes. NOOOOOOOOO!
Oh director, you're SO funny about not being able to read your own handwriting.
JUST KIDDING I'VE ONLY HEARD THAT JOKE 2000000 TIMES!
Doodle doodle doodle doodle.
A note, for ME?!
And it's a good one?
You go, girl!
We're done!!!
Oh no, now I actually have to do my paper.
I actually really liked that rehearsal.
This cast is super funny.
Aw, now I remember why I like theatre.
When is the next rehearsal? I can't wait to do it all again.
