What’s Up in Rehearsal?

Rehearsals are in full swing for Marisol! Director Sharon Graci is working hard with our actors to make this one of the best productions College of Charleston has ever seen. Because Marisol is presented from the perspective of a Puerto Rican-American woman, the production team enlisted the help of Dr. Asela Laguna, a retired professor, to help everyone involved understand the cultural context of the play. Dr. Laguna is a Puerto Rican-American woman herself and has been very helpful throughout the rehearsal process. In the picture above, you can see Dr. Laguna help actor Tegan Kates work on the pronunciation of certain Spanish words in the script!

Table Work, Table Work, Table Work!

Here’s our cast hard at work! In this picture, they are taking part in an important step of the rehearsal process known as table work. During the table work phase of rehearsal, the cast reads through the script and discusses their characters and their backgrounds as well as the play’s meaning and history.
