Rehearsals

The rehearsals are so inspiring! The cast I've assembled for this production is really strong, so directing The Land, this time around, I'm giving the actors quite a bit of freedom to collaborate with me to give these characters new life. We've been rehearsing the play scene by scene these past couple of weeks, but next week, we'll begin doing run throughs. The process is exhilarating, exhausting, frustrating and rewarding. Just like painting, at a certain point one just has to stop. When is the painting finished? We've turned the play upside down and inside out -it bears little resemblance to its first incarnation last December; it's fleshed out, developed, cast members rearranged and characters re-envisioned and reworked. Obviously the subject matter couldn't be more timely, but more importantly, I feel it now holds its own as a theatrical piece: A human drama played out against the backdrop of War. It might take place in Palestine/Israel, but the story is universal and applies to us all. Please donate via our paypal account and help us bring The Land to a theatre near you. All our sponsors will be acknowledged in our program and any donation above $100, receives two tickets to our upcoming performance at the TCA here in Taos on July 10th. We give 10% of all proceeds to Grassroots Jerusalem and will gift 10% of the TCA show to Vista Paz Taos. The Land gives 10% locally wherever we stage the play.
