Rehearsal Notes from Wednesday 12/20/2006

Tonight they ran act 1 and it had some very rich and humorous moments.
The blocking seemed to flow.
Bridget's scene with Tim present day interspersed with Evan memories is finding its way to seamless. It is one of my favorite scene sequences.

A few lines jumped out at me tonight... specifically the rather loaded line by Tim: "It's always nice to have something to look forward to."
Does this represent an off-the-cuff, making conversation line? Or does it point to Tim's cynicism? Or could it touch on the fact that he wishes, maybe, that he shared the faith of his sister? Faith being the substance of things hoped for, another way of saying looked forward to.
Hebrews chapter 11 opens with "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."
Another translation states "Faith is the realization of what is hoped for and evidence of things not seen."
Interesting the difference between the two. One says sure and certain while the other calls it a realization of a hope and evidence of things unseen. Are the characters in Sacred Hearts sure and certain or are they realizing their hopes?
