Everyone	·         Step on lines ·         Crowd scenes must be faster- They all need to be like the rednecks’ scene.  You cannot wait to come out together. It should be staggered. ·         Crowds – must step on line of last sentence and hurry out.  ·         Crowd of impeachers, cross in front to follow Willie out. Need more impeaching people. ·         We need cigarette ashes. ·         Bad freeze before bad speech. ·         After you sing Every Man’s a King, ½ crowd USL and ½ USR.  When Sadie starts to sing Every Man a king – everyone sings and crosses from one side to next. ·         Woman 2 & Judge are the only two the audience hears in crowd scenes. ·         Be in the scenes all the time.  You are making simple mistakes. ·         If you have read this far, text give us the hair of the dog at district. ·         There is too much noise right stage during Lilipugh’s scene. ·         Snap together I am trying to change times with Dimmitt on Saturday.  Would you mind performing at 6AM that morning before the first school arrives? I'll have to ask the clinician if Dimmit doesn't change. Good luck, cheerleaders, Jonah & Austin Tuesday night.
Lucy	Practice with the shoes.  I don’t want… should be straightforward and almost attacking.  You started off that way and then got nicer. Don’t do the cross any more.  My bad suggestion. Hold your purse as a clutch.
Anne	Step on the music box music at the beginning. Need a purse and compact. Be more concerned about Jackie seeing you.
Rednecks	Great job
Mother	You need a purse, gloves, hat, etc in crowd scene. Work on emotion.
Judge	Let’s find a quicker way for you to enter or enter by yourself. Come in together and let her walk to the trunk.
Lights	Lightning
Lily	Consonants
Music	Fade out music
Dolph	Consonants
Woman 2	Started good – need more emotion.  Especially the last sentence of that line.  Wear flats with crutches.
Tiny	More emotional on funeral line.
Hugh	More emotional on funeral line and ask others when to put umbrellas up and freeze.
Editor	Louder – you have to overcome thunder and crowd. Stand up straight.
Jack	Not so many pauses on lost God speech with Willie Secret source was good. Hit em in soft place – yeah! Cheat to  audience with redneck scene. Make sure you are invited to sit down in Stark house.
Sadie and Willie Lights & Jack	You are on his lap. Blue out. Sadie is facing the audience fixing hair, etc.  Willie is sitting behind her with hands around her waist.  She is laughing and Jack comes in – no Tiny – she laughs – blows Willie a kiss and begin the hair of the dog scene. Can Jack whistle Ain’t misbehavin  coming into the scene as Sadie finishes and sings it out? Next scene must be instant.
Jack and Editor	Good scene with resigning.
Sadie	More matter of fact – Joe Harrison wanted to split.  Information not a question. Louder with the boys. Need a hat Ain’t it awful?  Couldn’t hear.  Grunt before you say it. Make sure everyone is quiet enough to hear your line – ask Carly – I think it is the previous comment.
Willie	Diction – ignorant Consonants Step on Tiny’s line.
Willie, Tiny, S. Boy, Sadie, Jack	React to Hugh resigning. People noises leaving and entering the scenes.
Adam	Bring scrapbook in.
Hugh	Out there quicker and hit consonants.
Tiny, Sugar Boy, Dolph, Hugh	Two Anne’s scenes and Judge’s scenes need benches.  Everyone hates the chairs. Table and bench must be out before shooting scene.
Mom and Judge	Need to coordinate clothes.  When you are the judge and mom – dressed up.  When not, dressed down.
Mom	We need emotion.
