What's with the blog?

This is the place where we can document, track and share the creative processes of the coming weeks. Rehearsal images, director's thoughts, questions, challenges...all shall be uploaded to bring the journey to life, and also to ensure we capture the magic of the journey. All members of the cast and crew will be invited to be authors, and to contribute to the growth of this blog.
