Always water.

We do an opening night thank you to each cast.  As I recall for "The Foreigner," there was a load of fresh green grapes and such.

Otherwise, we have a move-in lunch (mostly eaten by techies, who are putting up the set and emptying the truck) and then, on our second Saturday, we have lunch provided between the matin?e and evening shows.

Depending on who's in what mood, anything can show up at practices.  Sometimes, somebody's mom or girlfriend makes something, or even cast members.

I always have an all-day rehearsal (usually a Saturday towards move-in week), and once my buddy brought a bunch of home-made baklava.

We usually have coffee and such, since we usually start somewhere around 9 - 10.  We also go out for a lunch break, particularly if we are going through, say, 3, 4, or 5ish o'clock.

Because many of my students are coming from a sports practice or game before they come to my rehearsals, they are allowed to eat when not on stage.  They must pick up their mess, or they are not allowed to eat ever again.

When we get to dress rehearsals, we have specific meal breaks and actors must change out of costume before intaking anything other than water.

Ha! I am impressed with how healthy you all are.....if our rehearsals run late I send out for pizza.  We did a long run of Romeo and Juliet in a sweltering vineyard last summer ( 90 - 100 degrees and full costumes)  I brought a cooler full of beer and everyone who died got a beer behind the barn.  I made sure that we saved 3 for Romeo, Juliet and Paris.  It didn't seem to do anyone any harm and that run will always have memories of star-gazing with Mercutio, Tybalt and assorted others as well as the tase of an icy cold lager on a hot night.
