For anyone who has ever been to MainStreet, you know we like to be creative and have a good time. Truth be told… a lot of the process isn’t always fun. It can be downright stressful to continue developing and evaluating and getting ready to do the next one. We like to use the term "dynamic" to describe the process that produces MainStreet.
Tonight was a blast! Since we have a race theme this month, we decided to do one of our scenes via video at a local go-kart track. So at 6:00 the whole team met up and we grabbed some video cameras and just had some fun. The whole cast, in costume, took to the track and shot some great scenes. The whole time we were out there I kept thinking of different lines from last summers blockbuster, Talladega Nights. "If you ain’t first, you’re last." "Shake and bake." On and on…
After filming was over, we headed to McDonald’s for a quick bite to eat. Then we all drove back to the church for our first full rehearsal. In our process, this is the 3rd meeting in preparing for the September but it the first real rehearsal. I just have this one hint about the next MainStreet. We have a new character… and he is very funny!
This was the kind of group building night we really needed. It was a lot of fun and very productive.
