Our ensemble practiced linking movement to emotion this week. As we build our characters, their histories and their personalities, we’re also mindfully exploring ways they’ll move and travel. Photos: Richard Hall
The first script read-through
Wow! What a tremendous first script read-through rehearsal. This week we saw our principal characters and featured ensemble bring Oliver! to life.
