We "signed in" as cast on Wednesday morning, but even before we had signed in, they gave us our first instructions, and by Wednesday night we were on the stage (and under the stage) for the final run-through. We participated in the dress rehearsal last night (even though our costumes are not quite ready.) And we are having so much fun.
The pageant is amazing. It is surprisingly effective at telling the story of Nauvoo and the individuals that were here, all within the time and space constraints of an evening stage performance.
We are assured that our costumes will be ready today, and tonight we will be on stage for the first official performance. Although for now we have only minor parts, it is very exciting. I am a "ruffian" that pledges to seek Joseph's life...I have been practicing my speaking part: "Aye!" (think pirate). I am sure that I am very impressive!
There is a wonderful spirit in this place and in the pageant. We are very tired, very hot, but very happy.
