Tonight was the final run-through before tomorrow's reading.  It went very well, with things gelling into place, but it was still too long for our purposes.  After much soul-searching, I sent out a list of cuts which should bring it down another 4 minutes.  I wish I could have done this earlier, to give them a chance to rehearse the cuts, but last night was the first time everyone was there for a full run-through, and so it was the first time I knew the cuts were necessary.  Sort of the nature of the beast when you're doing a reading, with so little rehearsal and a talented cast who understandably has a lot of other committments.  Wednesday is the big night!
