We had the whole day for rehearsals before our show. We started off with making sure that everybody had the right costumes. I had the same costume for Passenger 2 and I did for Passenger 3 the day before. I used the same thing for the goat that Luke did the night before, I didn't wear the horns because I couldn't easily get them to stay on. We decided that we didn't need to obviously look like a goat because it says it in the text. The main focus for my in this rehearsal was running the show fully without stopping and with the full and correct tech. Because I was absent for the tech run, there were a couple of positioning things I had to work on. These were simple as most of them were just making sure I was in the right light and to make sure I was downstage enough. It was also the best chance to work on all my entrances and exits coming on from the wings all at once. Before this we had only done it for particular scenes. It also meant that I had to do costume changes for the first time. Thankfully I had quite a bit of time between my scenes so they weren't rushed apart form changing from Inhibitions to Vince.
It was also the first time we had run Act 2 in the correct setting. It was very different being in the round because you had people all around you and had to act it more naturalistically and not act towards the audience. It was easier in the lighting sense because we used house lights so we were always in the light.
After our first run, we felt that the Brittany scene needed the most work so after a short break we worked on this again. We were all a bit sloppy on our lines and group movements but the second run of these scene gave us all some time to talk through what we were going to do so it didn't look bad during the performance. There are a few parts in this scene where we all have the same movement, for example the 'we beg you to reconsider' line. We all get down on our knees and shuffle towards Lisa but some of us didn't do it at the right time so this needed sorting out.
