February 15


February 15, 2015

Everyone
No table with flowers.
Navy colors at the funeral
We need for someone to type if Editor and Sadie are not there.
Need more people noises during the speeches.
Who is holding the MacMurphee sign during the second speech?
PEOPLE NOISES
Crowd cue was missed before “I’ll take the job.”
Everyone has to change clothes on time.
People noises
Glory Glory humming after hospital speech – stagger where you are standing.  Not everyone is on the edge of the stage. Keep singing until Anne and Jack’s scene.
QUIET IN THE BACK   NO CELL PHONES  We may switch parts if this continues.
Re read scripts
React vocally
We need a crowd walking through in two different directions when Adam crosses to get the job in Willie’s office.
Funeral scene – freeze – only those speaking move out, say line, then freeze.
LOUISIANA IS HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
During the hospital speech, Tucker is the only one who reacted.
Tell Kayla and Cheyanne how to help with costumes.  After an actor has taken a costume off, move it to a pile. Someone needs to hold the dress out for Kadyn to slip into behind the flag.
If you continue to talk, you are out.
Everyone look at the blue prints.
Cheat toward audience
Faster transitions.

Be further left stage – about a foot when show starts.

Make sure the bench is in the light. Pause between maybe you’ll never tell him.

  1. Everyone should not be behind the banner after every single scene just about. The majority of our exits are to the banner so that means the entrances are from there too. Also to help with that, put your props on the sides and not the middle.

  2. There are too many people behind the back and it is hurting our ability to pay attention and make our crowd scenes. These scenes are very important and they will add another dimension to our play.
