Strengths	Ensemble – even minor characters have made distinct choices. All characters are strong Transitions are seamless, motivated and plot driven. Audible noises – people noises were great
Weaknesses	Relationships – many are unclear and not developed. More moments were needed to help relationships and plot development and believability. Focus – at times there was too much on the stage – hard to maintain focus. Too rushed- Plot development not enough. Too rushed for character development. Actors do not understand character’s objectives. Vocal variety is needed Lucy – shake hands with Jack.  Willie must be more loveable at the beginning so we really hate him at the end. The relationship between Willie and Lucy must be real – and loving. Anne, who do you love? Decide and make it clear.  Be younger and have the puppy love with Jack. It needs to be lusty with Willie. Screaming at the funeral – let’s try it without it.  Think of something. Characters – what do you want?  How bad do you want it?   How are you going to fight to get it? Need to see a drastic growth in characters – especially Judge, Jack, Willie, Anne, Sadie Photos not needed ? See the affair start with Sadie and Willie.  See Willie plan to get Sadie and see Sadie plan to get Willie. Editor – need to see your feeling about Jack. Hugh – good job. Jack and Willie’s relationship – Is Jack disenchanted?  Need to push it more.  Sadie – work on smoking. Know why you are singing. Anne – show clarity in how you feel? How do we know the flashback is a flashback? See the relationship between Anne and Adam, Adam and Jack? When does Willie change? Jack and Maky – work on this – Jack, you have to read the letter. Judge – need to see how he hates failing Jack and how he cannot erase the sin. Mother was so strong. Don’t rush ending.
