Fight Choreography - How to Throw a Punch
There's a lot of violence in Killer Joe, and while we don't want to give away anything, we do want people to see how a stage fight scene is put together - or at least part of a fight scene. In this video our Fight Choreographer, Andrew Pecoraro shows Denny Grizzle (Joe) and Julie Herber (Sharla) how to throw a punch.

Killer Joe Rehearsals
Killer Joe continues….
This was a huge week for us! The show is coming along nicely. The actors are still exploring their characters and relationships, but for the most part, I think they are pleased with their progress – I know I am!!!
Rehearsals are closed at the moment, as we are still trying to ease into the nudity. Although no one is nude for any length of time, three of the actors are taking this very courageous leap.
Fight choreography continues through the weekend. The fights that are staged thus far are surprisingly vicious and frightening. I continue to be amazed that they walk away from them unscathed. Each time we run the scenes, I am sure that a “real” kick or punch has landed. Kudos to our actors and fight director. I can’t wait for you all to see their efforts.
More later,
Gene’

Killer Joe Set Build
MET's next mainstage production, KILLER JOE, opens February 8th. The designers have been hard at work. Scenic Designer Milee McDonald, along with Technical Director Matt Weese and MET company members Brian Irons and Joann Lee spent a day building and installing part of the KJ set:
It's always chaotic in the beginning. We started by setting the frig and stove in place and will build around it.

Joann cleans the disgusting frig and Matt and Brian discuss the framework to be built for the stage left exit into the "bedroom"
Braces are being added to the living room wall. A new window was framed using the flat from "Wreck the Halls" This wall is almost ready to go up.
Kitchen walls are in! It doesn't look like much right now, but this is a big deal.
Living room wall is up, blind is being hung. Door placement is located.
Not too shabby for a day's work. There's still a lot to be done - more building, painting, wallpapering, set decoration.... Today Milee is installing paneling!
