HERMITS schedule this week

Hi folks,

We are beginning blocking this week in the space, so allow travel time to/from IPC. We will not have accompaniment, so be prepared to speak your text both out of rhythm (like plain spoken dialogue) as well as in rhythm, if needed.

Enter through the parlor door (in the glassed-in area just to the right of the sanctuary as you're facing the church). I'll keep an eye out for you!

February 19 (IPC)

3:30-4:30 Hermits (scene 2)
4:30-5:30 Captain, Mother and Nuns (scene 2)

February 21 (IPC)

3:30-5:15 all called (scene 1) Bishop joins us at 4:30
5:15-6pm Mother and Bishop scenes (start with scene 1; we’ll see if we get to scene 3)

We begin blocking next week at IPC. Be sure you have ironed out ALL of your musical issues by then! We will not have time to stop and work after this week.

Be ready to speak your lines in rhythm starting February 19 as part of the staging process.
We will not always have accompaniment, so get used to it! Thanks.
