A Glimpse Into "The Visit" A look into CET rehearsals and crew meetings leading up to tech week for "The Visit"

Some of the rehearsals of "The Visit" leading up to tech week.
"I like rehearsals because it allows me to express my emotions (both negatively and positively) in a creative way. Being able to show my more vulnerable side is liberating," said CET actor, Ronan Laporte.
For some rehearsals, CET had to rehearse in the gym because of staff meetings and jazz workshops.
"Working in the gym has its fair share of pros and cons. On one hand, we have the mirrors, which is useful when learning choreography for a musical. However, those mirrors can also be distracting. For me personally, I end up distracted looking at myself and dancing in front of the mirror. It's also difficult to know the dimensions of the stage when they aren't marked on the ground, and you don't have the normal levels that the platforms and proscenium have. Overall, working in the theater is my preference, but the gym works when our normal space is being occupied by another group," said CET actor, Lila Fetter.
CET's tech process of creating "The Visit."
"I enjoy being apart of CET, because it's rewarding being able to see the sets you made being used by the actors," said CET sets crew member, Paige Plavnick.
"Tech week is rewarding because it summons the full force of CET. Cast and crew are working together closely to realize the vision of the show as we prepare for performance, and that's incredibly exciting as we see our production coming together. We all know it's 'go time' and that unites us in a common goal to prepare our show for an audience. Our focus is powerful and united, and we can't wait to share our work. It can be stressful, but it's definitely worth the work!" said CET Director, Emily Wilson-Tobin.
