Last Minute Practice

Andre Spathelf-Sanders and Maggie Ek take a moment to rehearse a few lines before the show is ready to begin. Underneath Cowan is a large basement where the dressing rooms, costume storage, and scene shop is housed. In the fleeting moments before production time, an odd sense of organized chaos comes about the space. Actors are sprawled about in the hallways, warming up their vocals, stretching, and nailing down their lines. Some are in the dressing rooms, touching up their lipstick and securing their wigs. The set crew is running around with headpieces, while the design crew is waiting in bait for the upcoming costume changes. Everyone clearly has a purpose.
