From 10 till 6 , 6 days a week - that's what's happening right now in our rehearsal space in Shed 6 on Wellington's waterfront. What was an old wharf storage shed, now contains (what looks like) a boxing rink, for the 19 Kiwi novice skaters to learn how to skate under Sergeant Major Fraley - the American skate guru here from the German production of 'Starlight'.

The other part of the Shed contains all the floor of the set for the show, and already there has been some transitioning from the boxing rink to the stage floor. A few wobbles, but no-one has fallen off - yet! Fingers crossed that they don't.
