Critiques Sunday, March 08, 2009
Bring a lunch tomorrow.
Mendi – 1st time
Good job selling, Roger
$10. fro six – anya
Go out on strike - more laughing from men
Joe, pigheaded – more reaction and hold her back
Give me a sign – say toward audience
Good laugh, Rog
Matron, come out more
Joe, Jacket and scarf after jail scene
Roger –Cooper Union –point with upstage hand
Rog – good showing cold
Bridget – only one out of meeting showing it was raining
Murmuring was too fake
Trial, come down more center
Public nuisance
4th wall – Everyone
Nor eason to put you in jail – out
Liked Roth left stage
Good face in tombs
Judge, get out earlier stand firm
Light on Roth
Mendi – 2nd time
Shirtwaist -say out
Bridget fanned Clara – good job
Ruth, good change in face – You’re a dreamer
Nathan, good laughing and giving paper back
Clara – good hands in monologue. ALL IMMIGRANTS – remember you are used to using your hands, so use your hands to show what you are talking about . Thinking – point to head or temples, NYC point out
Nathan and clara in jail – good
Bridget – RUsso
Bridget, have apurse in union
Slap Cohen in chest with Strike paper – Cohen, wad and throw.
Violet, take of behind
Dream dance was better
Need to figure out a way for girls to have backs to audience. After getting out of jail, all girls face back who are named - all others face toward audience.
Much better second time.

Chin up society women – Better job, second time
Chavez, slow down still.
Roth, louder and enunciate. Better 2nd time
Dirty immigrants was better 2nd, but still needs to sound more repugnant
Anya, good job with kerchief and apron. It might be easier to take off kerchief when you say – I’m tired…..
Lannon, good job
Joe and Union man Roger, great job.
Roger, excellent job being believable.
I love the arm wrestling, but slow it down. Really, a good idea

A & K – first time through we were at 26:13 when judge says Defendants rise
Joe, we need to see more realization of what is in store for the women when the judge says Blackwell’s Island
Remember, we need to see the leg in the tombs.
IT is COLD in the tombs
SHIvER
Society girls, take off overskirts.
Dancing girls, move more to right stage so you are not blocking Anya and Clara
Watch the fire, it can catch you and burn you up. Move it more downstage, but use the hem of your dress to move it if it needs to be moved. IT is hot.
A & K – Strikers released first time -33:56
Roth, fix the belt.
Even if we lose, quicker.
Say girls’ names differently each time.
2nd time A & K, I think I would use the times during the second show.
Roth, tip hat to girls on entrance. Remember NYC is out there somewhere.
Good job – dirty immigranty
ANya and all girls, use more gestures
A & K – 2ned time – 4:51 “I heard all my life.”
Cap on Joe in first scene. Tip to ANya and introduce yourself.
2nd time 7:47 – Scrub other people’s clothes
10:05 – Look it up
12:20 – So you tried it on your own.
Matron, great job.
Bridget, look at the matron over your right shoulder
14:07 – Different life – Joe
15;07 – County Monahan
Bridget – RUUUUUSo
Tomorrow, all girls wear hose – white or black
Anya and Joe shake hands following getting out of jail. Anya extends her hand first
20:23 society girls’ entrance
STAND UP, don’t lean, judge. Take off hat at the beginning of the hearing.
ESQUIRE
Judge, stand up straight.
Violet – Step on lines – Then we’ll give you….
26:48 – Defendants please rise
Roth, take hat off at one point in your monologue. Keep your head up.
Sit up straight, Roth,
Don’t keep moving the fire, girls.
Need blankets in the tombs.
Girls move right during scene so we can see Clara and Anya
