We've ended the tour of Coretta Scott King, and we've moved right into Tom Sawyer: An Original Musical and Town Mouse, Country Mouse (rehearsing in that order).
Tomorrow, we will have been working on Tom Sawyer for a week. Quite literally, we left one show and entered another. Teresa and I said goodbye to Marva and Justin after our morning show at Blue Ash Elementary last Monday, and after snagging a quick Rally's lunch, arrived at the home office to meet the new half of ArtReach, Robbie McMath and Caitlin Drance. Robbie has done some CTC work in the past (we saw him in High School Musical 2 that Saturday before we met him), and Caitlin is new to the company.
Even with our vast mix of experience and training, our talents meld nicely. Robbie just graduated high school last year and plans to attend NKU this fall. Caitlin has gone to college for theatre, and she also went to a stunt school. Jen Scott, our director, said that we were the most talented group of actors ever to do ArtReach at one time. We'll take it.

Now, six days into rehearsals for Tom Sawyer, we are already off-book and layering on sound cues and costume pieces. The next few days will be the real test of our virtuoso abilities, as more costumes come into action--and also more spectators. The dress rehearsal for the staff is Thursday, but we'll be ready.
