Last Rehearsal Before Regionals

We need the following:
Strike papers
Union agenda for Joe and Lannon

  1. Brandon, never run between actors talking.
  2. Chavez - kick back (enunciate)
  3. Teresa, pull hat back
  4. Bridget, vest
  5. Bridget, cannot understand "Get on.....
  6. Women, react to Ruth's line about her mother
  7. EVERYONE needs to be louder.... Lannon and all girls.
  8. Roger, roll up sleeves before fight.
  9. Women with Roth, move back and forth in slow motion.
  10. Bridget, be fiestier with Matron at jail.
  11. Bridget, we need the lilt.
  12. Everyone's accents are sloppy.
  13. Great monologue, Bridget. You are finding subtleties in the language.
  14. Cohen, move out when saying the motion dies. Good job crumpling paper.
  15. Society women, look at the ground. Remember this is a stinky place.
  16. Roth, Stolle, Brandon - good job. BUT, remember to listen to what is going on so you can react to what has happened or what is said.
  17. Julie and Alina, great job!
  18. Judge! SUPERB!
  19. Streetwalkers - be more insulted.
  20. Brandon, when you are with Roth on 4 X 4, use the upstage instead of the downstage arm.
  21. Lenore, great job in the tomb!
  22. Overflowing bucket - needs laughter.
  23. Anya, believe.
  24. Roth, say "justice" following your speech.
  25. Louder crying when Clara dies.
  26. Great job, Kalyn and Justin. It is hard to fill in. We are fortunate to have you both.
  27. HOMEWORK - I need for everyone to write a short paragraph(2-3 sentences) on what this play has meant to you. I want to send the mail to Cynthia. Be specific, not generic.
  28. "Nothing so distinguishes great acting -- in any style, in any historical period -- than the feeling that the actor has the potential to 'go off' at any moment, and to unleash an explosion -- a flood of lava, that will be totally uncontrolled and uncontrollable. Great Acting always dances with danger!" - Robert Cohen
    "If you really do want to be an actor who can satisfy himself and his audience, you need to be vulnerable. [You must] reach the emotional and intellectual level of ability where you can go out stark naked, emotionally, in front of an audience." - Jack Lemon
