|
Assistant Director Chanel and Props Mistress/local Rebecca Nurse Mary keep a watchful eye on the script.
|
|
|
|
Waiting for your scene to come up in rehearsal is EVER so much fun!
|
|
|
|
Melissa, making them girls freeze right up again. It's what she does.
|
|
|
|
Josh, temporarily channeling his "Prince" character from "The Love of Three Oranges."
|
|
|
|
Mercy is broken in spirit, Susanna is weeping helplessly, and Abigail is so upset, her hands are vibrating right off of her wrists.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reverend Parris and Judge Hathorne ... the hidden romance of the play? Okay, well yeah, it'd have to be REALLY hidden in there somewhere.
|
|
|
|
Mark, wearing Kelsey's "first draft" costume for Reverend Hale.
|
|
|
|
Thank goodness Willard is keeping an eye on that dangerous criminal, Rebecca Nurse!
|
|
|
|
Acting Quiz Question: Which 3 actors are in character in this tense courtroom scene?
|
|
|
|
Everytime Mark missed a line, I allowed every member of the cast to throw a chair at him, thus his new nickname, "Mr. Flinchy."
|
|
|
|
|
|
Chanel, giving strict directorial advice to Josh.
|
|
|
|
Thank goodness that someone has picked up the "faux-hawk" look now that Stephen's graduated.
|
|
|
|
The Putnams (Kelsey & Bradley) crackle with chemistry as a married couple.
|
|
|
|
Every rehearsal, Katherine would just lie there until Lauren and Tori threatened to beat her. Then she'd be much improvin'.
|
|
|
|
This shot highlights the hilarious size difference between Director and Assistant Director in this particular play.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Chanteau, begging for forgiveness as Mark looks impassively on. No repentance for you!!
|
|
|
|
Moriah, getting ready to turn my pretty white window stageflat into a pretty black and white window stageflat.
|
|
|
|
Moriah, Susan and Carly stare at the stage flat with The Screw That May Not Be Removed.
|
|
|
|
Our bureau from Go Ask Alice was so hideous for "The Crucible" that I reversed it, and Chrissy and Kasey turned it into a cupboard!
|
|
|
|
Lindsay had the exciting and challenging task of blacking out all of the platform supports visible from the audience's perspective. Whoooo!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Costume Crew member Ariana, hanging out with the uncostumed cast backstage.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Makeup Designer Cara applies makeup to Andrew backstage. Applying fake stubble to Andrew is unnecessary any time after 10am.
|
|
|
|
Taylor applies makeup to Cheever, while Sarah helps someone curl their hair. I don't know who. Uh, Lauren maybe?
|
|
|
|
The two good Reverends. Or are they vampires? (( checks the playscript again ))
|
|
|
|
Mark, pulling back his unruly mane.
|
|
|
|
Tanner Johnson wants YOU to see "The Crucible!"
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hear no evil, See no evil, and Speak no evil. (Peeking is okay)
|
|
|
|
Jessica, prepping for her spinoff show, "Governor Danforth Disco Hour."
|
|
|
|
At least we got some use out of those grey costume wigs.
|
|
|
|
The set isn't all there yet, but Dress Rehearsal lets us check out the whole play with lighting and sound cues, costumes and whatnot.
|
|
|
|
Susanna Walcott is actually very nice under her extremely self-centered and evil exterior.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Proctor still lusts after Abby, you see, and she ... well she's a little dangerous. She seems sweet, but ....
|
|
|
|
Giles Corey, he tries to take care of poor Rebecca Nurse, but she keeps having these facial tremors and aneurysms.
|
|
|
|
A staged version of the scene above in rehearsal. It looks way better with costumes, staging, lighting, and actual acting.
|
|
|
|
You can't really tell the Proctors' marriage is cold and unforgiving, can you?
|
|
|
|
Mark in the ill-fated "gangsta Reverend" hairstyle I wasn't exactly fond of.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cheever used to be just a tailor, but when the court came to town to hang witches, Cheever became a BIG MAN, you see.
|
|
|
|
Poor Mary Warren. All she wants to do is be a follower. Why can't Proctor just let her condemn his wife to die?
|
|
|
|
Elizabeth goes to jail. While Willard looks on helplessly, again. Thanks for nothing Willard! Couldn't you have done some commando rescue?
|
|
|
|
John and Abby meet in the woods at night. Tori's nuanced portrayal of victimhood, attraction, and malicious indifference was really good.
|
|
|
|
Josh gets angry when he's mad. VERY angry. Especially if your name is "Abigail" or "Mary Warren."
|
|
|
|
|
|
Francis Nurse and Giles Corey try to testify on behalf of their wives. As a reward, Giles gets pressed to death! Yay!
|
|
|
|
Willard and Cheever's stance says it all ... the girls are in serious trouble.
|
|
|
|
Chanel, our Stage Manager, control everything from the manager's booth. (harder than it looks btw)
|
|
|
|
I'll admit it. I looked. I didn't see a bird though. I also never heard no murder in Salem.
|
|
|
|
Tituba, having a good night's sleep on a SPLENDIDLY created bench.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sarah Good, waiting for "Masty" on yet another wonderfully created bench.
|
|
|
|
Judge Hathorne, on the bench again. Oh! Did I mention the set crew made the benches? Yeah.
|
|
|
|
You can't realy make out the bench in this shot. But you can see Reverend Parris and Governor Danforth.
|
|
|
|
If there's anything more fun than program folding, it's LEARNING ABOUT program folding!
|
|
|
|
And then, the merry, gleeful, joyful, scintillatingly good time of actual program folding.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Meanwhile, Elizabeth Proctor's been in jail for months because Abby didn't like her.
|
|
|
|
Josh and Lauren's acting was crazy good! Oh, and SPOILER ALERT: John chooses Elizabeth.
|
|
|
|
Everyone but Danforth, Hathorne, and Cheever seem to feel bad for Proctor, but nobody does anything about it.
|
|
|
|
In the end, John can not sign his name to the confession.
|
|
|
|
And .... ~ FIN ~
