Day 2 and 3

Kids are remarkable...In the last 2 days, (6 hours of rehearsal) these kids have not only memorized 50 pages of lines BUT they know 6 giant ensemble dances, songs and movement. Granted we are in a pretty upscale place in California with kids who go to gifted schools, but these kids are sponges and rarely need to be given acting notes twice. Of course there are the kids who are pretty shy and can't fill the huge Opera House but for the most part they are sharp. The only thing that really sucks is that my voice is so hoarse from talking loudly for 4 hours a day and I have to perform two shows on Saturday but I'll stick it out. The one big concern Katie and I have right now is that Kaa the 9 person snake reaaaalllly doesn't have any idea when they say what line even though I swear I taught them correctly....
