This session opened with lively conversation and a return to one of the ensemble’s favorite topics: costumes. As measurements were gathered, participants shared ideas about how facilitators and background performers might look onstage. Suggestions ranged from jumpsuits and military-style hats to boots and tie-dye shirts, all contributing to a vibrant visual world for the production. Participants eagerly described their own costume wishes as well, imagining hats, colorful ascots, and playful details that fit the show’s energetic spirit.

Rehearsal then moved into scene work, with participants diving into Act 2, Scene 2. Performers explored new choices, refining blocking and experimenting with comedic timing. Facilitators encouraged performers to heighten humor and connection, and the group supported one another in finding moments that felt playful and alive.

Even when rehearsal energy dipped, the ensemble found ways to bring levity back into the room. One performer burst into a scene with such bold physical comedy that laughter spread instantly through the group, resetting the mood and reminding everyone of the joy at the heart of the process.

As rehearsal wound down, the group shifted into games, playing rounds of Late for Work and reconnecting through play. The laughter and movement closed the evening on a strong note, reinforcing how much this work depends not only on performance skills but on trust, humor, and ensemble connection.
