Cindy’s notes
1. Great murmuring at the beginning of the show

3. Salanio – ague – put your hand to your head as if feeling for a fever.
4. Bassanio and Antonio, use the small black table to use as a prop. Hannah, bring them a drink.

13. Gormandise – look at pronunciation.
14. STEP ON LINES.
15. We have to move Portia’s house more right stage because of lighting.
16. Savannah, watch Fiddler on the Roof for a Yiddish accent. Go to the girls’ part. Ask Zack – he has the movie.
