Salwa, Meet Nisr (& Majid, & Mahir)

    Devin hasn’t been able to come to any rehearsals until now (damn you, day jobs!) and so Mary has been acting by herself, even though almost all her scenes have Devin in them somewhere.  She asks if today is the day she finally gets to meet her scene partner, and we are pleased to say: yes! 

    Devin, of course, played the role(s) last time, and he remembers his lines well.  Lucy encourages him to enlarge his performance, since our stage is larger this time.  He does a cartwheel.  Then he does a somersault.  A little while later, he walks on his hands.  ACROSS THE WHOLE STAGE.  Devin is a talented man, y’all.

    Earlier today, Adi rehearsed with Matt and Nate.  The three of them also got to see Kristina for the first time this year.  Kristina remembers Nate, but had to be introduced to Adi and Matt.  Lucy was delighted to discover that Adi can lift Kristina up.  I don’t want to spoil our closing image, but I think it’s going to look really good.

    Right now, Lucy is recording Dina’s BBC reports.  She needs quiet, so Becca and I have had to retreat to the lobby of the theater to gossip idly, and also to eat some of the large quantity of delicious, delicious biscotti Becca’s Italian grandmother has pressed on her.  God bless our Old World grandmothers.  If mine were here, I’m sure I’d have an ample supply of super-buttered cookies to pass around, since Grammie Nutza believes that butter is the staff of life.  (Bread just ruins your appetite.)
