Tonight's rehearsal, in my humble opinion, was the best we had ever done the show. That doesn't mean I don't think it can improve, because we still had some line-misses, pace issues, etc. But I do believe that today I felt the most present, more active, and more grounded than I have been in past rehearsals. It felt good.
However, that being said, I, nor the cast as a whole should get comfortable. As Matt said, that is a very bad place to be as an actor. Also, in my experience, when the last dress rehearsal is really good, people tend to relax and thus the first performance ends up lacking in response. We can't let that happen.
Therefore, tonight I'm going to re-read the play, read through all of my text and the notes that Matt has given throughout the process. I'll run through them in my head, think about how I'll put them to use, and then tomorrow, I will let the homework go and just do it.
We've worked our asses off and now it's time to show it.
Break a leg everybody, and may the Force be with you.
