A few weeks have now passed and we have had several run throughs of the whole play which gives a much greater ‘feel’ for how it all hangs together. It is now all about the hard slog of learning lines and getting ‘off book’.
The recent Reindeer Parade seemed to go quite well with lots of people turning out in miserable weather. Dressed up and made up we all quickly got into character and I was pleasantly suprised that the audience recognised us immediately, despite my own ‘temporary’ costume suggesting more chav bear than Pooh bear. The large number of younger children seemed particularly over-awed by our characters and the general vibe from adults was very positive (a number of whom wanted photos with the cast).
Christmas fast approaches and we all know that the deadline for knowing our parts will soon be with us. Then the fun of the final run in can begin and we can all look forward to the terror of opening night.
