Avondale Rehearsal
Posted by Tom on November 9, 2009
Hello there! Last week, Barrel of Monkeys started rehearsing for the Avondale school show. The school show is this Friday, November 13th, and we have three more rehearsals left, but let’s talk about last week when we started!
Rehearsal #1 - Luke is directing the show, which consists of 13 Monkeys. Among them are two of the teachers who taught at Avondale, Rachel and Calliope. We read a lot of stories, since three classrooms are represented. The students are in 5th grade. We picked about six stories to perform, and it was a blast! Whew!
Rehearsal #2 - We adapted more stories, and the laughter was non-stop. Some of the stories are about robot babysitters, a pregnant man, and a limousine full of famous celebrities!
Rehearsal #3 - Uh oh. Two Monkeys were sick and couldn’t make it to rehearsal. Aw….darn. Luke told the rest of us to please stay healthy and get rest. We did more adapting, but made sure to leave parts for the sick Monkeys. We not only learned a new song that Philip and Carly wrote about a man in love with a grill which was tasty, but we also choreographed it! FUN!
For next rehearsal: We’re going to learn the closer and maybe another song! Stay tuned!
