It's All Fun and Games Until Someone Calls Line-Caroline H

Something doesn't feel right. And it's not just because its the 'Muddle in the Middle', because that should have started subsiding by now. There's just a disconnect with what's happening onstage. We are far from the level of intensity this piece begs for, and admittedly, part of this is a focus issue. People have gotten comfortable and careless, myself included. It's extremely discomofrting to hear people calling for lines in Act One, when we should have been off book last Thursday. I think this can be credited to the massive continuity issues we have. The momentum in Act One carries us into Act Two, and the intensity level and amount of panic feels right on. But we haven't had an opportunity to run Act One all the way through Act Three, and it's really hurting us. It's nearly impossible to establish a fluid character arc when there are giant gaps between moments. I'd really like to ignore the school's scheduled breaks, and get a focused, clean run. We would all feel a lot better, and honestly, we need it.
