Cottonwood Joseph post #6: An idea that didn't make it on stage

I posted again on the Cottonwood Joseph blog. I'll probably post at least one more time about doing the show, but I really wanted to post some funny backstage/rehearsal photos, so that's what it is.

I can't believe we only have two performances left. Surreal!

[For convenience' sake, and because I'm afraid the Cottonwood Joseph blog will suddenly disappear one day, here is the post in full:]

The rehearsal process is an opportunity to experiment. During one of the final dress rehearsals, the brothers wore letters on their costumes. The idea was ultimately rejected, mostly because when they stood together this happened:





A really cool idea that did work was matching tennis shoes. Everyone in the cast recieved a free pair that we get to keep. Many of the shoes were in light colors, and many cast members found it easy to color them their favorite color:


It's weird to think that we've performed three times already. Only two shows left. Come while you still can!

I'm going to miss it when it's over. These people are hilarious!
