I'm not getting enough cast support. So the plan is to give it two more weeks and if needs be, shorten the script. This is so that the 4th ward will have something. The problem? Our boundaries have changed so the ward is new, nobody wants to talk to each other. When we do, everyone is overly nice for the reason nobody want's to offend anyone else. But we are so worried not to offend anyone we end up offending everyone and ourselves. How crazy is that?
Another problem. As one of the authors of the road show script, and both of us are history buffs; the need to keep the script historically correct is a must. We have found out that people are having problems with that aspect of the script. So it looks like we must follow the history books and teachers example's and "clean" up history.
My teacher made me stupid!
So what have I learned directing plays, road show, and mellow dramas?
So what have I learned directing plays, road show, and mellow dramas?
- Do not make a new ward do a road show. The support is not there.
- Do not keep things historically correct.
- Always go to the person who is over the stake road show and get all info.
- Always have the back up from the bishop.
- Stay positive, cry/vent at home.
- Stay in contact of the music director, and choreographer
- Have another director, stay within the same vision. If one is fed up at the moment and need time out, the other can take over.
- Bounce ideas off of each other (ie. writers, directors, choreographer, etc.)
