Read before Thursday's rehearsal

We have rehearsal Thursday night and need everyone on stage in costume?!?, with props by 6:30. Do not be late. On Friday, women need to wear a shirt and skirt. Use a belt if the skirt is too long or too big. Men need long sleeve shirts and slacks. If you are doubled, add something to your costume that makes you look and act differently in each role. We need to make this as authentic as we can. Tulia will allow us to watch theirs. If Lockney has not received their check donation from us, we might use this time to do this if we can get Ms. Smith down here. From the previous critique, Bridget, don't cut your line; however, say it as a challenge to Chavez's character.
· Keri and Lana, we need help with the dance scene. I have been going over it in my mind. We are not moving enough. These are just questions I am raising. Why does JP pin Ruth, then go after Clara? How does Ruth end up with Stolle? Also, everyone is down on the ground. We need levels. Can Stolle pick Ruth up, she bites him on the arm, and he tosses her mid stage. All the guys are pushing women down, face front to the audience. I would like for everyone to think about this, then get to Keri before rehearsal Thursday.
· Also, we need to choreograph the dancers in the back in the dream sequence. I want their movements to be slower so focus is on Joe and Anya.
· For some of the weird transitions, I want to project authentic headlines that not only tell the time of the year, but actual events going on simultaneously with the play. Brent, I would like two projectors hooked up and put inside the columns if possible - shining against the cyclorama. I know that we will not have the cyc at every contest, but we can use it for the first three.
· Greg is working on the crates. We should have some done by Friday - maybe. If not, we will go with what we have.
· Women, remember to get your stage business prepared prior to rehearsal... sewing, cleaning, etc.
These are the only ones who have posted comments. Please urge others to do this, so I can post grades. THANKS

They will have two hours on stage, but we are trying to be flexible about their arrival time.
