White Dog called a breakfast meeting out on the deck for the cast. She wanted all of the players to start to "see" the deck as Elsinore Castle in Denmark as each member of the cast began to assimilate their character and lines.
The Little White Dog of My Heart is really very clever in the ways she is keeping everyone excited and engaged in the production. For example, breakfast included Hamlets, uncured thinly sliced pork folded around scrambled eggs and harvarti. Ghost gruel, kefir blended with white peach slices and bananas, filled grog cups.
As the Army ate, they talked about staging and began to jot down ideas for costumes. White Dog announced that Andy and Sally were being joined by Asta, Charly and Joey in the roles of Rosencranz, Guildenstern, and Barnardo, respectively. They were reading the play as homework so they would understand the context of their characters.
Pearl turned her nose upward and sniffed. She sounded the mailman alert. White Dog quickly reminded all that rehearsal begins on Friday as they hurried back inside to man the front windows to sing a welcome.
