I have actually been running around having lots of Mohawk Valley Adventures (alternating with periods of sitting on the couch saying, “I just can’t even!” but you’ll have that). Yet I am going to do a fast Pre-Rehearsal Post, because I have a few more pre-rehearsal chores to do before, you know, rehearsal. I suppose I am being a little too lenient with myself by using all the pictures I took during rehearsal last week, but I cannot pause to analyze my motivations now.
Obviously a dramatic moment!
Jerry loves to sing. I always try to give him the part of a person who wants to do a musical, whether a musical is appropriate to the rest of the murder mystery or not. You can do that when you write the thing.
Big gesture!
I thought our last rehearsal went really well. People were really into character and interacting with each other a lot. They praised my script, but really they are the ones that make it work.
What’s he laughing at?
I spent a good part of this afternoon making a prop: a note made of letters cut out of a magazine. Do you know what a pain in the butt that is? I’m surprised at kidnappers or blackmailers who take all that trouble.
“Did somebody say… murder?”
OK, the caption isn’t really a line in the script; I just couldn’t think of anything else. But I am over 225 words, so here is the plug:
A Revolutionary Murder, to benefit the Herkimer County Historical Society, will be presented at Herkimer Elks Lodge, 124 Mary St., Saturday, April 25, doors open at 5, dinner at 6. Tickets are $45 for individuals, $80 for couples, available at the historical society.
