The musical focuses on themes of imagination, grief, and growing up, showing how Alice uses fantasy to cope with loss and the harsh realities of war.
During this show, I took blocking and rehearsal notes throughout the rehearsal process. Blocking notes were kept easily accessible in the Show tome, and rehearsal notes were distributed to designers daily. I also acted as a liaison between the director and designers, supporting communication between both teams throughout the entire process. During rehearsals, I also helped to manage the cast, occasionally filling in to run rehearsals when the director needed to step out. I was also responsible for choreographing any and all set changes alongside my ASMs, ensuring to follow the stylistic demands of the director. When running the show, I would call light, sound, and projection cues, also managing the tech crew.
