Rehearsals are going . . . .

Rehearsals are going amazingly!  In the three years that I either helped with a Shakespeare play, or directed it, I have never seen this many actors with their lines memorized so early.  We keep putting our expectations out for these young scholars, and they keep meeting them.  Now, we just need everyone to focus on the types of movements that their characters would be making.  Also, we need to have everyone work on speaking their lines slowly, and loudly so that the audience will be able to hear.  Otherwise, all of the line memorization will go to waste if the audience can not hear or understand what is going on.
