Tuesday's Trial by Fire

OKAY, we got this one out of our system.
  • Teresa, you are blocked by the girls at the beginning. Work your wayout of there.
  • Nathan and Brandon, we cannot see you in the back as thugs. Make sure that you can see the judge's light. This goes for everyone.
  • Matron, we need to see you in the jail scene. Make sure that you can see the judge's light. This goes for everyone.
  • Nathan, you are blocked at the second union scene. If you cannot see the judge's light, move.
  • Lannon, you are blocked in the second union scene. But, we love you by the pylon.
  • Watch blocking in the trial scene.
  • The tomb scene had problem blocking.
  • In the ending scene, spread apart.
  • Margaret, we need to see you left stage at the end.
  • We started off about one minute late at the first time check.
  • Clara - zee
  • Watch the line downstage. No one can pass it.
  • Zack, vendor, react to Nathan, vendor.
  • \Bridget, come by and see the picture I have for you.
  • Anya, louder when thugs come out.
  • Roger, freeze during thug dance.
  • LINES - do not stand in lines following the thug dance. THIS WAS EVIDENT!
  • Guys, by the fire in Bridget's monolouge, freeze!
  • Everyone needs to vary body language.
  • Judge Powell, study your lines!
  • So am I - Nathan, say this downstage.
  • Brandon, scoot stage right more and with your back to the audience.
  • Where is it fair - say this downstage more
  • EYETIE - Brandon
  • Jump on shoulder, Bridget.
  • Americaaaaaaaaaaaa
  • Bloody Miracle - don't say it upstage.
  • Bridget, get mad when they laugh at your anger line - use the picture I have for you.
  • Roger, bite the dime on the side facing the audience.
  • Boys, watch clumping in second Union scene. Where was the union sign?

  • Brick wall - look at that speech. See smile - papers
  • Tombs - Women must be engaged in what is happening there.
  • it is too crowded right stage when the strike begins again.
  • Accents worked well last week, mostly because you used them all week. This week's contest has a stronger judge. We CANNOT lose the contest because of accents.
  • 1st Union scene - men in a straight line
  • Chavez - accent?
  • That's why women get married - more assured, matter of fact - not so much cocky
  • When Clara speaks, all women are in a clump right stage.
  • When you are supposed to be frozen, freeze.
  • Theatre is the best means not to find oneself but to create oneself. Who said this? What does it mean? Let me know for a 100. Text - 470-9940 - only during lunch, before or after school; call my cell - same number - same story - before school, after school or during lunch; call my extension 2239.
  • Red scarf, Chavez?
  • Brandon and ALina, move more stage left after dance.
  • Bridget, your monologue was good.
  • Men, listen to Cohen, then talk or react to WHAT HE IS SAYING.

  • Clara, watch speaking upstage.
  • Roger, put the hat upside down
  • Society women, we need to mark your bench downstage more during trial.
  • Brandon, wear a tie.
  • Powell, bring the women downstage and talk to them.
  • LINES?????
