A daily rehearsal blog from actor Paul Stetler, playing Edgar in The Lady from Dubuque.
Our last 10 out of 12. We finished teching Act 2 and then ran the whole show. The first act seems to be in fairly good shape. Act 2 still needs some work. A day off tomorrow and then back at it on Tuesday.
Mr. Albee is scheduled to fly in from New York at the end of next week and he will stay through our week of previews and attend opening night. I’m very excited to meet him and look forward to his input and any suggestions he may offer up.

The Lady from Dubuque
A daily rehearsal blog from actor Paul Stetler, playing Edgar in The Lady from Dubuque.
Long day. 12 noon to 12 midnight, with a two-hour dinner break. Got through Act 1 and spent the next 8 hours on Act 2. Will finish tomorrow and try to do a run of the show. The set is beautiful but much bigger than I had imagined. We’re all trying to adjust to the difference between it and the relative intimacy we had in the rehearsal room. David made a number of staging adjustments as we worked through the Act that I found very helpful.
The cast looks fantastic in Beth’s costumes. She has me wearing an off-white cashmere turtleneck in the first act. I hate turtlenecks. But I gotta admit it really works for the character I’m playing. Edgar is most definitely a “turtleneck” guy.
