presentment of children to school teacher!

I am always so impressed with the force of creative energy and willingness apparent when you get a cast together and working toward the same goal. Last night, despite cramped quarters, we blocked the entire scene 2 of Act I. Children coming and going, wives, attendants, everybody pretty much. It is always a joy for me to see the collaboration of an entire group of actors of various ages. Last night children as well as adults were asking super questions, listening to one another and patiently, beautifully doing the MOST difficult thing--WAITING! It's very humbling and exhilarating at the same time. I always believe that the pure, positive, energy of the whole group is what makes these shows happen. The audience, subconciously connects with that force, they become part of the creative experience, each night each crowd is a new experience. It is the entirety of creating this unrepeatable moment in time which is theater. Regardless of the production "problems," when I see the outcome of the actors efforts I always get high! Onward!
