rehearsals are a Zoo

Bad experience at *Zoo Story* rehearsals a couple of nights ago. Supposed to be off-book, wasn't, struggled badly. Better now. Great to have a stage manager (Katie Haster, a freshman theater major at Gonzaga). Working with props, always needing to pick up my cues. We open in two weeks. The play has a shape now, but most of the important work is left to be done.
