The lessons this week are about the logistics that happen outside of the rehearsal room. So scheduling remains a huge challenge as Shakes & Co. runs shows in rep. I’ve talked before about how we are sharing actors, but we are also sharing performance space so now we have to factor in change over time [...]

Dawn Monique Williams – 6/20/2011 R&J week four
We are now past the half way point in rehearsals for R&J, and it is going really great! This week was like cramming for an exam because the actors who are also cast in AYLI are leaving us for 10 days to tech and preview that show. On Tuesday we set all the choreography and [...]
Dawn Monique Williams – 6/13/2011 – R&J week three
