THE PILLOWMAN

REHEARSAL BREAKDOWN



The rehearsal sections are set in stone -- but the nights on which we do them are not set in stone. This means that if you're cast, say, as Michal but have conflicts on Tuesdays, the Tuesday & Wednesday sections can be switched so that you have Tuesdays off and I'm not losing you for rehearsal. This is designed to give me maximum flexibility in dealing with conflicts. So here's what we're lookin' at right now. First up is the Scene Breakdown, where you can see how I'm carving up the scenes for rehearsal. Then comes the Section Breakdown, where you can see What Scenes we're rehearsing at What Time on What Nights.
