FIRST READ!

Yesterday we began rehearsals for the remount of OVER HER DEAD BODY with Pinky Swear Productions!

It was a thrill to get back into a room with friends old and new and hear this script come to life again. Listening to it, I was struck both by the moments I did (and didn’t!) remember from the original run, but also by how wonderful an opportunity it is to get a chance to find new resonances in the script as a new group of artists tackle it. It’s been rare in my career to have the chance to reprise a role or a show, and after last night I’m even more excited to come back to the world of OHDB.

We also got a chance to see some of the pre-production work the design team has been doing (more on that later), and begin the essential work of breaking down the emotional arcs of the characters, and finding important questions we’ll want to try and answer for them and the audience as we continue rehearsing. But all of that is paused now, because in our next rehearsal, we’ll get started on the music!
