Well today was the first day of set building and we had a decent turnout from the cast! As it is always difficult to get people out to work, I was impressed with the workers who were there. Everyone was willing and able to get their hands dirty and we were able to get some stuff done.
While Teresa and company painted benches, many cast mates got employed straightening up some wood and flats needed for future use. 
In addition we, we had John come out and donate some time to organize lumber and cut some 2x4 to size for our rolling walls. Now, its safe to say nothing was safe from getting white washed, when we left, there were freshly painted set pieces strewn about everywhere!
Its funny, because a lot of the cast out there were pulling old pieces of set work out and asking questions on its origins. Its funny, I was able to answer most, but there were many older pieces I couldn't identify! I think its great we have so much history out at that place. Its my hope that we can get more cast members out there next weekend... more hands make load seem lighter!
Right after set building, we had another rehearsal out at the White Sands Mall. This time, instead of focusing on dance, we mainly worked on the music and blocking. It was a challenge at first (as are all things new) but by the time we finished the cast was belting out notes like pros! We'll get them whipped into shape... its just a matter of time. : )
