Devil Rehearsal

Finished up the first draft of the script on Saturday night.
I had been collecting props and costumes as well as working on the script this week. Also finalizing the cast and talking to them to get their ideas and the rhythm of their speech so I could work these things into the characters.
Everybody is bringing something extra to movie. Misti Raye Warren (Felicity) has come up with several lines and is contributing songs as well as writing a song with me and sing on songs I've written.
Jonny Prince is playing Spider is also going to be the musical director and record songs and determine if incidental music is needed. He came over on Sunday and went through his lines like a hot knife through butter.
Henry McDaniel (Billy) is bring experience and is sort of the field captain making the less experienced actors feel more secure. Dan Reed (Magico) has sent very helpful scrip notes that I will incorporate into the story.
After Jonny left Misti, Henry and Dan came over for a script reading and this helped with a first rewrite smoothing out things that didn't flow or make sense. They agreed to come back Wednesday evening for another rehearsal before we shoot this weekend.
Misti came over last night to finish writing the song that she will play on the juke box when she enters the bar. We will make a tape of the songs tonight to give to Jonny to consider how to approach them.
We are having some problems with timing and locations but I think everything should work out.
