Any "first read" at the start of rehearsals for any play is exhilarating, and often overwhelming. When you have TWO plays beginning at the same time, it's a bit like waltzing with a two-headed monster.
Our decision to simultaneously mount two plays with two directors, one design team, and two casts--with the exception of the two actors who head both casts--is creating a lovely two-headed creature.
Last weekend we heard each cast read their play together out-loud for the first time.
Then, from the designers, a glimpse into the alchemy that makes theatre more than just reading out-loud.
The rotating repertory of The Changeling and Tallgrass Gothic is underway!
