Our ensemble gathered this week for a joyful and thoughtful rehearsal filled with reflection, humor, and creative discovery. During check-in, participants shared why they were excited to take on The Comedy of Errors—and what comedy means to them in this moment of their lives.

One participant shared, “We can let loose and be ourselves. It’s such a serious world—so I find every chance to have fun.” Another added, “I thrive better in comedy. I gotta get past this part to go on to tragic roles. My goal is to act.”

The group reflected deeply on laughter and joy, with one participant beautifully summarizing, “Laughter is medicine for the soul.” Another shared, “Shakespeare is my happiness. You bring us happiness. It lets you forget for just a minute the reality you’re in.”

After sharing jokes and stories—sparking waves of laughter—we dove back into blocking Act 3, Scene 1 and beyond. Ensemble members stepped into new roles, supported one another through staging, and brought strong energy and confidence to the work. Participants experimented with movement, dance, and character choices, building momentum toward a vibrant, playful production.

The day closed with continued collaboration, curiosity, and a shared commitment to making people laugh—onstage and off.
