The ensemble jumped into rehearsal almost immediately after arriving, energized by the arrival of props and new creative possibilities. The session focused heavily on pacing, scene work, and refining the growing world of The Comedy of Errors. Ensemble members filled in for missing roles throughout the evening, creating a collaborative rehearsal room where everyone supported one another and kept the show moving forward.

As the run progressed, the ensemble continued strengthening blocking, entrances, exits, and physical comedy. One participant brought huge energy and variety to Dromio (S), while others explored stronger vocal choices, clearer pacing, and more dynamic movement. The group also experimented with staging details, including placement of the fountain prop and new approaches to slapstick moments. A particularly funny moment came when one participant hid behind a tree during the jailer scene, bringing laughter to the room.

The ensemble completed the full run at just over an hour and a half, an encouraging milestone as performances approach. When asked how the run felt, one participant reflected, “I think it went good. We need the actual people. Everyone should just keep going if they mess up.” The group agreed, emphasizing the spirit of resilience, adaptability, and teamwork that continues to define the process.
