The Suitors

The Suitors rehearsal photos

I took these at the first off-book rehearsal, Oct. 25. It was the first off-book rehearsal, so there was plenty of time for pictures.


Here you see the set, nearly finished, with Ali. I think Joe's asleep way over at your left.


Andy as the Judge is on the loose.


Will and Ali talk something over in front of Isabelle's barred window.


Brooke wants in but Joe won't open the door.


Brooke appears to have been born with cane in hand. Vaudeville blood will tell. . . .


Ali in conversation with Katie (the bars are swung back now).


Surely this one can pass without commentary.


Something about a billet-doux.


Will is not wearing bunny slippers. Will is wearing Eeyore slippers.


The Judge issues a ruling from his attic to Brooke and Hue.


I've forgotten why Joe collapses here. Probably because he can do a comic fall. It's just that kind of show.


Will and Andy talk something over.


Allison takes down the proceedings on an old adding machine.


With Andy on the bench and Will in the audience, Joe presents his case.


Will stands in for The Public.


Will and Katie make nice in court. I bet there's some dramatically compelling reason why Ali is crouched next to the Judge.


Brooke is hardly outraged at all as Andy hits on Katie.
