An ongoing log about the process of creating YTG's summer 2009 fundraiser, The Beggar's Opera, written by the project's director, Andrew Woolner.

I'm on my way to the sixth rehearsal for TBO tonight (that's what we're abbreviating it to, in case you're wondering), and I've got my score playing through my headphones.

We had a very productive rehearsal this past Sunday... again, nearly all the cast was present and accounted for. My biggest concern now is getting costumes.

Now, this is an in-concert production, so I'm not creating elaborate costumes, but YTG does have enough stock costuming to clothes the TBO actors... the problem is just finding time in and out of rehearsal to get them to try stuff on. I have a feeling that next Tuesday's rehearsal is going to be a bit of a late one as we madly throw costumes on people. Mayuka is going to have to earn her backstage stripes on this one, since I'm mostly stuck in the rehearsal room.

Well, we'll see...
