Much Ado About Nothing update

This is my first update since I started, basically because nothing has been going on and the rehearsals are finally starting up.  That first read-thru was the Sunday after I got back to town (May 13th) and since then the theatre group members have been planning, making the final cuts to the script, and figuring out a rehearsal schedule.  My first rehearsal will be Sunday evening (June 22nd).  I have the script that Fourth Room Theatre has cut and changed, but I decided to purchase a First folio edition of the play along with Lexicons so I get a better understanding of the language, words, and thoughts.
The month lay time in between that first rehearsal and actually getting everything into gear has been hard for me.  Personally, I feel like the energy has died with these weeks of not getting the group together.  I wish we could have gotten together like once a week and kept doing read-thrus. At the same time, it's been a good opportunity to look over the script myself and learn the lines before even getting to rehearsal. So there are pros and cons to each side, as with everything in life.
Oh! Something I should mention: not too long ago, one of the group members emailed and asked if I'd be willing to costume the production.  After thinking about it and asking some questions, I said yes.  I haven't costumed a show in almost a year and a half, so it will be good to get back into it. I've also never worked with costuming on a show set in the 1960's. Lots of learning experiences with this play!
Basically I'm really excited to finally start weekly rehearsals.  The cast is incredible and there are a ton of people here that I've wanted to work with for a long time.
