During tonight’s rehearsal we’ll be running through scenes One through Five. That covers everything from the servants singing about their troubles and the Grand Vizier making her intentions clear right through to Abanazzar trapping Aladdin in the cave where he finds the lamp.
This will be the first time this many scenes have been run together this year, so it’s a great chance for the cast to learn how the first part of the story fits together. Should be quite a night.
In other news, this year’s first edition of the Stave (our monthly newsletter) has finally gone out. There were a few teething troubles switching over from our old editor Lauren who’s holidaying overseas for a few months. In any case, it’s back up and running so you can expect to see more every month provided you’re on our mailing list.
If you’re not on the mailing list for The Stave (that is, if you didn’t receive it) and want to be, or if you’re on it and don’t want to be, you can email me (mhose@numurkahsingers.org.au) or drop me a line on facebook (http://www.facebook.com/swashblade) to be added/removed.
