: I'm wondering how you conduct your rehersals, particularly the first full cast read through. I imagine the cast gathered in an conference room type setting and sat at a conference room type table in conference room type chairs and read aloud.
Close - they all came up to my room, and we read it there (last night, actually).
: Do you give in direction during the first read through?
I've read with each seperately beforehand, so there was a bit done then. But for the read-through, we just let it fly.
: Do you change lines or even scenes during the rehersal period?
Yes - I'll pop in new lines, pull out others, and allow for word and line juxtapositions when we're doing a scene at a time. And in some cases, I'll allow a word substitution - as something that reads well doesn't always recite well.
