LAW IV: The Mammoth Project

We’ve been in rehearsals for more than two months now but we’ve been working on the different components of drama, song and dance separately, and as the performance draws near, we’re piecing the components bit by bit.

It’s extremely astounding how our little acting rehearsals (conducted on the corridors of Law school no less) have blossomed into this mammoth production. Instead of hollering at just 5 to 10 characters, we now have to manage the cast, extras, chorus, crew, band and technical crew. This adds up to more than 30 people on stage at a time!

Now let us take you through the bustle!


We certainly can’t manage without our two trusty stage managers Gillian and Siok Hoon. Beyond dealing with the cues and props, these two ladies also serve as disciplinarians back stage, hushing the hyper-active cast as they await their turn.


Check out these two ladies hard at work!


Here we have Kenneth, Bernia and Angelene who form the chorus. Leon is pictured here giving walking lessons to our songbirds. These cheery songbirds actually have problems drifting off and on the stage pensively. At one point, Ange was caught exiting from a scene like a burglar. Walking issues aside, they sure have no problems summoning the blue birds from the woods.


Next up is the extremely talented band led by our mildly grumpy band leader Zhu Zhi Wei. He’s been grumpy because we’ve been having some lighting issues and the band’s had to play in complete darkness for awhile. He is photographed here registering his displeasure.


The cast is photographed here as they react to our directing.

And we leave you with the Kopi Shop Rock couples...
