January 17 Rehearsal

January 17, 2011, Rehearsal
• Stay frozen! No movement whatsoever!
• CHEER It’s like you are watching the SUPER BOWL!
• Molly & Baily, don’t forget to take the powerpoint down.
• Chavez & Carson, make noise at Savannah and be loud! Graham walks in and is embarrassed and angry at his friends. Walk over gray sets. Savannah, once you see the boys, walk faster. We need to see the difference between strolling and being afraid.
• Hannah, do busy work in the café. Get a rag and wipe things – feather duster
• QUIET on STAGE!!!
• Don’t mess with props that are not yours.
• Zack and Chavez, sit at the front table and Chris and Lawrence at the back table.
• Hannah, remember to be on haunches when talking to C and L
• Zack, keep bag with you and look for a leather one on EBAY
• Everyone, study your lines.
• Savannah, work on busy work.
• Couch, fix second slide – reduce each slide to one sentence.
• Spray tables and decorate the café
• Fix capitols.
• Lawrence and Savannah, each need a ladder.
• Keys, scroll
• Opening scene, Savannah needs to be closer to Zack
• Fight – Graham needs to be more serious and physical
• Lights need to come in earlier. They should move second not first – ask Blake
• Great Job, Hayden.
• Chavez, kiss cheek, not shoulder. Graham, work on accent
• Chavez needs more physical gestures above the waist.
• Mark, look at the check while writing it.
• Baily needs to be LOUDER
• Baily, look toward the audience and back at Molly periodically while speaking throughout the dance scene.
• When the light comes up on LeBon, characters need to draw attention to him. Savannah and Jared, do the same to Randall as the nephew.
• Hannah needs to vary facial expressions with different customers.
• Zack – need a newspaper.
• Connor, great job! Thanks so much. You don’t know how important you are to help with lines.
• Hayden, your accent needs to be different – Italian and Africaans
• Carson and Chavez must know what they are saying.
• Everyone needs to enunciate better.
• If your character needs paper, you are responsible for having it with you.
• Savannah and Lawrence need to be away from the bench. It worked better with Lawrence on the floor.
• Savannah, turn more toward the audience. Emphasize WIFE
• Savannah, pull hair back for rehearsals. Work on the accent. We heard it at the beginning, then lost it.
• KEYS!
• Baily, stay in character. This goes for everyone.
• Mica, let me know if any of the music does not work.
• Thanks to Michelle and Blake for the critiques.
• Thursday night – 6:30. If you do not have a character sketch, see Michelle.
