Saturday morning

We had an early morning dress rehearsal today. Actually, they ran a couple scenes or worked on some songs or something to start with, so for most of us, we got to show up a half hour later (9:30) than originally scheduled. I understand why he (the director) schedules practices for Saturday morning; it gives us at least a sense of having some time off, having one night a week when we don't practice. We do have rehearsals seven days a week normally. This way, we've got all of Saturday from noon on until Sunday evening "off." However, for someone like yours truly, who has rarely gotten up before noon this summer, those early Saturday mornings can be a killer. (Imagine getting up three to four hours before your normal time.)

Dress rehearsal went fairly well this morning, though not surprisingly, energy levels were a bit down. (Friday night's practice went until after 10:30, after all.)
