Rehearsal continued with creativity, collaboration, and an infectious sense of play. Ensemble members shared their love of reading, creativity, and learning, and celebrated one another with kindness and care. We checked in as a group, shared updates, and celebrated milestones together.

We began the session with warm-ups and movement exercises, followed by focused blocking on Act 3, Scene 2. Participants worked together to deepen objectives, add physicality, and explore audience engagement. When we tried a new chase exercise to energize the scene, the response was immediate and joyful.

“That was fun!” one participant exclaimed, while another added, “I loved it!” The ensemble decided to keep the exercise as part of the staging, embracing movement and play as key storytelling tools.

We continued into Act 4, Scene 2, refining character choices and comedic beats. Participants applied notes with enthusiasm, fought for objectives, and celebrated each other’s breakthroughs. Improvisation, accents, and playful experimentation kept the room buzzing with laughter—especially during a spirited exchange about cross-gender casting that had the whole ensemble laughing.

We wrapped the session with a group game and plenty of joy, ending with connection, humor, and a shared sense of accomplishment.
