by Jim Davis - Managing Director on 3/18/2009 12:46:00 PM 

Last evening the cast of gathered on stage for the first rehearsal and read-through of J.T. Rogers' play THE OVERWHELMING.













Si Osborne who plays Jack, Assistant Director Jason Gerace, and cast member Lily Mojekwu listen as director Kimberly Senior, discusses a conversation she had with the playwright.

















Dramaturg Becky Perlman discusses all of the interesting research information she's gathered regarding the play with cast members Christoph Abiel, Jamie Vann and Rob Fagin.

The cast, director, dramaturg will spend the next few nights doing "table work" where they dissect the play, bit by bit, before they start blocking (staging) the show on Saturday. It's always exciting to see so many months of pre-production planning come together and see the excitement in everyone's eyes as we start this journey of bringing the play to life.

Coming Next to the Production Process Blog... "How many props does it take to put on a play of this size? A visit with Props Master Susie Pelayo.
