opening night for the rivals

this is a homeschooling production of richard brinsley sheridan's play the rivals (first performed at covent garden in 1775). k has been stage managing and handling props and lighting design. for some of the actors, it's their first show, for others, their 5th or 6th. accordingly, there is a marked difference in projection, enunciation, motivation, and responsibility . . (learning lines and blocking, attention span, punctuality . . etc.) what makes up for these different levels of ability is . . . . heart; from the actors and techies, and from the director and producer and parent helpers. it was an inspiring production and one I was happy to see.
