With preview performances for Larry E. Blossom's The Waiter just two weeks away, the time has arrived to incorporate technical aspects into the rehearsal process. That's not to say the cast has not already familiarized themselves with several set pieces, which have been scattered around the playwright/director's home, transforming his living room into an authentic looking 1970's diner. The cast has been acquainted with their props for several weeks now, a fact that is much appreciated by those actors and actresses who have extended amounts of stage business, (which is basically everyone - the show does take place in a restaurant...)
Friday night's rehearsal was the cast's introduction to sound effects and music - another much appreciated early start for the actors, as The Waiter is definitely not lacking in sound cues. Thankfully, (and perhaps surprisingly too), the sound rehearsal was short on glitches and left the cast feeling confident with one of the major technical areas of the production.
Costume and make-up design is under way as well. Bell-bottoms, flannel, peasant shirts, and fluffy hair will surely make appearances in this bicentennial-era production. A special treat for the audience will be "Crass Lady" (played by Tom Ashcom) dressed in full drag - complete with pink cat-eye glasses and foam breasts!
So what are you waiting for?? Preview tickets are on sale now!!
