Reading Through the Script
Tonight we worked through the script again, this time paying special attention to the songs. Alex has written another brilliant song–this time for Ewe, so he and Jessie spent some time working out the kinks to make it flow more smoothly.
As I sat back, watching and listening, I was struck by the passion that has gone into this show. Everyone involved has given it all they’ve got. Alex has poured his heart and soul into this script and he’s great about gently coaching us to make us understand the characters’ motivations. Building puppets and developing the look of a show is one thing, and it’s important, but it’s all for nothing if the puppets aren’t doing something engaging.
Alex’s script is very engaging, and even though we’re still working on timing and cues, it’s already something that I’m very proud to be a part of. Good work, my friend!
