While Sarina and her volunteer crew move the equipment, sets and costumes from the church to the theater, an ill Bailey, who has come down with the flu, takes the cast to Rick's house to do a speed reading, just to ensure that everyone knows their lines. They then move to the theater for a quick run through of certain scenes, this experience which will be their first on the actual stage, which is much smaller than they anticipated and much smaller than the sprawling church basement to which they are used. The stage size may pose a challenge when all fifty-one cast members are on stage at the same time, most specifically during the munchkin scene. With one day left to go, even one more task has to be accomplished, namely the design and printing of the playbill, the former task which has fallen on the shoulders of Siobhan, Michael M. and Matt, the latter who also comes up with a signature cocktail for the post-cast party. This evening, the cast and crew go through their one and only full dress rehearsal at the theater. But what can go wrong, does. What is a two hour show takes over four hours to run through. Among the many problems is that the dressing room tent, which is located outside, is leaking in the pouring rain, getting the cast and costumes wet. And as nerves start to fray, comments, especially ones by Sandra and Michael O., make Sarina even more on edge. They all just hope that the old adage of a bad dress rehearsal leading to a great performance will be true. But Sarina is concerned that these frayed nerves will lead to the cast not connecting with each other, and thus losing the magic at tomorrow night's performance. Written by Huggo See less
