Adair’s Critique
Ensemble was good. Accents were good. That does not mean stop rehearsing accents. Remember, they should be second nature. Work at least four hours each day on this. After school, at lunch, etc.
Brandon, eat the apple or another fruit – not a banana.
Society Women, find something to do onstage in addition to reading the paper.
Good job, tipping hats.
Roth, good job.
Factory women, find more planning stage business. Strike scene. All people can use this. If you have read this far, call Ms. Couch, ext. 2239 or text 470-9940.
Meeting scene was good.
Joe, how do you make Anya stay? Two judges have said this. This probably should be done in the first union meeting. I have an idea, but see what you can come up with.
Joe, don’t stay in profile.
Everyone, find a funny or happy moment. This is an assignment. If you have read this far, text or call.
Clara, cough from diaphragm
Fight scene, all need to wear red neckerchiefs
Matron, stay in light.
Bridget – America – Decide what part of Ireland you are from. This is for everyone. Bring or send me a picture of your hometown or country.
Cohen, good job.
We need to SEE the decision on Nathan’s, Brandon’s, and Chavez’s faces
Why do the society women want to help? Tell me this and tell me how are you going to show it?
Judge, hat higher.
Trial scene seemed forced? Everyone in that scene needs to tell me why you are angry. This means 15 people better have answers.
Roth, how are you going to create more levels?
One more time – Find the sweet and funny moments. If you want to volunteer to do this, see me for a script. This is not restricted to actors.
The further we advance, the less I am seeing people work for the good of the company. Remember, underclassmen, you will want to audition next year, I hope. I take notes on how many times I have asked you to help and how many times you have helped without me asking. You might want to change your attitude or rethink traveling with us to Odessa. I am trying to have a clinic with three area schools after TAKS. This will be outside the school day if we can do this.
The next rehearsal is Monday, April 13; Thursday ,16; and Monday, 20.
We will leave sometime on Thursday, the 23rd. Let me know if there are any conflicts on these three days.
This is interesting – a quote from our next judge. It was on her profile. “Theatre is the best means not to find oneself but to create oneself.”

WE have made it SOOO far you guys! and I KNOW we can keep going. stay positive! Everyone help out! we can do this!!!
ReplyDeletelove you all.
In the trial scene, I am angry because of the unfair treatment of the girls...I also reminded of my daughter who is also on the picket line and I want fair treatment for her and her friends. And I think that a funny moment is when all the factory girls say "and she snips the thread" and then teresa says "snip, snip, snip." It is just light-hearted and something we do all the time to kind of keep us connected I guess. And I agree with Lizzie! we need to stay positive and keep working hard! we can do it!
ReplyDeletewoo i'm super excited! lets keep going and break a leg! love yall
ReplyDeleteLove you all! my cell phone doesn`t work so I write here
ReplyDeleteWe still have things to work on=) we do need to find moment where our characters act not as strong grown up women, but have fun. they are young. it`s important. Bridget has this moments a lot , like " she is a girl who started the strike" and " not on your life" Need more of those
Have a good weekends

ReplyDeleteThe judge i think was showing us to put are selfs in the character, but we also have to see our character in other peoples point of view.
I like our judge at area he was cool
I have read all of the critiques!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy computer is working now!! I'm so excited!!!
Anyway, this week is going to be hard work, and everyone's dedication will have to be tested and pushed.
"When we stretch out an article of clothing we make room to grow."
Let's stretch ourselves so we can make even more room to grow.
I love you guys!!!
Guys this is going to be a new experience for all of us (even the veterans) since we are at a new location. If everyone stays focused and excited we will do well! Work on everything that Mr Adair, Mrs. Couch, and Mrs. Border say needs fixing at every rehearsal! We can do it!
