Week Five of Rehearsals | SATURDAY'S VOYEUR Actor Holly Fowers

Sunday night, 11pm – I just watched the Tony's – congratulations Book of Mormon!  Now I'm going to work on lines for a scene in Act 3 that we will block in rehearsal tomorrow.  Some of them are pretty easy, but a few of them I know I will have to say very quickly and I'm a little nervous about keeping them in my head.  Learning lines is not my best subject and I’m really working the memorization skills with this rehearsal process.  It’s a good thing. hollyphoto

Monday – just blocked a really fun scene with Victoria who plays Becky Blockhart.  The cast laughed at us.  That always makes me feel really good.  I figure if I can make them laugh, I can probably make anyone laugh.  I hope. 

Tuesday – blocked a scene where I give Kent, playing Orrin Hatch, some Kool-Aid, uh, I mean tea.  He said he liked it.  :)  Little does he know… Bwah ha ha! I’m onstage for about 30 seconds during that scene.  Then I went off to the green room for more line learning.  And blog writing.  Woo hoo!  Oh, also, some joking and some laughter occurred between a bunch of actors in the green room too.  It really is a shame we don’t have very much fun together with this show.  I feel bad for us.  NOT! 

Tomorrow – more blocking, more line learning, more laughter.  More creating of this whacky show that is bringing me much, much joy. 

Tuesday, June 28th – we begin performing the show for audiences.  Hopefully bringing them much laughter and much joy too.  I can’t wait! 

I love my job.  I love my fellow actors.  I love every single person associated with creating this amazing work of Utah specific art.  How lucky am I?  Really a lot.

SATURDAY'S VOYEUR opens June 29 and runs throughout the summer. Tickets available online or by calling the Box Office: 801.363.7522.
