Everyone	·         At the beginning there is a music box sound, Everyone is behind the flag except for Jack.  Steam is filling the stage.  He is looking for the past for 15 seconds.  Ann comes out singing. Immediately, Judge (gun),Mom(pic of Theo),Sadie (mirror),Adam(stethoscope),Lucy (book), Willie (Bible) enter(from behind flag) in slow motion to their spot.  Everyone else follows in slow motion. After Anne’s first song, people come in humming as we rehearsed.  Jack is wandering – trying to find the truth. People say lines, Jack says his. Jazzy Humpty & people are moving regularly to next scene – happy.  As Paige says, they snap out of it. ?  Better ideas – I want to know BEFORE Sunday. ·         As actors, if you need something weird to do to make yourself different, ask Carly. ·         Crowd, don’t interrupt all the time.  Occasionally is okay. You have to appear to LISTEN. ·         In the crowd, have a husband look at his wife and say how good this would be for them. ·         Crowd is standing in a perfect semi circle. ·         Someone in the crowd – The cripple’s mom or dad – help her up to Willie. ·         People too loud in back. ·         Andrew and Mac – good job trying to coordinate back people. ·         People too clumped together in back. ·         Stay in character – when you are not – it takes longer to rehearse.
Jack	Don’t sit in Willie’s house without being asked. Wearing a hat – pull it back.
Sadie	Be further back on stage doing something so that you don’t already know what is going on – ask Carly. Slow down.
Willie	Good job!
Editor	Great improvement – now wow us with your last line in the show.
Tiny	Ask Carly about how to say – well, what’s the matter with him?
Jack and Sadie	You have to be actively listening to Willie before saying- What’s the matter with him.
Adam, Anne, Jack	Boys have had drinks.  Anne takes them & puts them on table. Adam takes his back and exits. Then she says her line.
Hugh and Sadie	We need to see you meet at her desk or earlier & have enough time to introduce Hugh before Sadie goes in and announces his presence.
Hugh	Speak slower. My mind has been made – say it louder.
Tiny	Enunciate
Hugh, Jack, Willie, Tiny	React when Hugh leaves.  Jack shake his hand when you say see you around.
Anne	Learn your lines
Jack	Improve their mind is supposed to be funny
