To do
Fix morroccan music (first time)
Fix Hannah’s aproon
• We are excited that Conner is playing the Duke. You have big footsteps to fill. We are also glad that Chris will take the journey with us.
• On Thursday, leave your cell phones in my room before coming into the auditorium. NO CELLS BACKSTAGE. How can you focus and be in character when you are texting? If I catch you, it will be taken up and given to Mr. Johnson/Freeman because this is a class.
• Salerio, need you louder and clearer at beginning
• What harm a wind – louder Salarino.
• In Sooth – no pause – but the line was better
• Fawning publican needs to be louder and Christian line.
• Shylock, better at not being in profile.
• Hannah, Mark, Chavez, and Zack – instead of walking RS, Mark, why don’t you go get a glass and drink it while you are thinking of your next line. Do this after “spurn thee too.” This will act as if it is calming you down. Hannah, fix the drink so he does not have to go all the way back to the inside of the café. DO NOT GO FAR RIGHT STAGE
• Savannah, Daughter lost needs to lift.
• Carson, wait until Shylock comes in to hide. Wait until he exits to come out. Do not come out when he is there.
• Hayden – lift hat back in Moroccan scene – or hand it to a guy and slick your hair back slowly.
• EVERYONE – DO NOT MOUTH OTHER”S WORDS. This is prompting and we can be disqualified. I will ask Blake to watch for that exclusively Thursday.
• Shylock, take your hat off in the house – cannot see your face.
• Lane, put a dim light on Shylock when Launcelot hands him the letter. More light.
• Louder, Zack in house. Hit consonants
• Antonio, move downstage further in your wind scene. Lane, take lights off Jessica and Lorenzo quickly.Also take lights off the café. Lorenzo and Jessica, cross in front of the house to exit.
• More thunder in Antonio’s scene. Cole, more lightning in this scene.
• In arragon scene, Michelle – yell your line towards the audience – lower and use diction.
• Faster – Arragon scene. Let’s work on it. Woo needs to be hit hard and it needs to lift. It was better Monday night, but be impatient and that will make it faster. Be looking at the caskets and begin as soon as Portia says her line. Hit looke fairer. Immediately go to the next chest. Hit all bold words. The line with “What’s here? Is great.
Arragon “ Who chooses me must give and hazard all he has…” You shall looke fairer ere I hazard.
Arragon What says the golden chest? Ha! Let me see! I will not choose what many men desire because I will not jumpe with common SPIRITS
Arragon “Who chooses me( silver) shall get as much as he deserves.” I deserve the very best . Give me a key NO DANCE
Arragon What’s here? The portrait of a blinking idiot presenting me a schedule! Did I deserve no more than a fool’s head? Don’t I deserve the very best?
• Shylock, put black panels up.
• Salerio, Salarino, and Shylock scene. Move the red tables as you exit. Conner Dipprey, go out and sit in the center stage table and when the next scene starts, move it out. You will have to help move the café scene. Last night was the BEST that you have done it. IT WAS SEAMLESS.
• Shylock – heart speech more to the audience.
• Bassanio’s casket scene move this way left stage.
• Chavez, keep your head up in the casket scene. I am still not happy with the way this scene is going. Hayden, Jared, Graham and Savannah – make more commotion coming in. Graham and Savannah, at first stand on the 4 X 4, then move down so that you can be in the group. There must be a sense of urgency.
• In casket scene, 6000 ducats react
• Jail scene, we need to redo this. I want Mark to cross down with the last lines.
• Beware fangs needs to be louder.
• In trial scene 6,000 ducats - react
• I stand for the law, Conner walk to Zack
• Murmur coming into the trial scene. Expressions were better, but you need to say different things each time it is time for the crowd to speak.
• Duke, work on your lines. You are a politician. Be bigger than life. Think of Al Sharpton.
• Too many sitting in trial scene.
• Trial scene was so much better. Jerod, Hayden, Ty, Carson, Graham, Connor, Randall, Chavez – outstanding talking to each other
• All women, sit like women, keep knees together.
• Change the murmuring. Duke turn toward Shylock.
• Shylock turn toward audience when Hayden calls you a dog.
• EVERYONE, head up and do not bend from the waist.
• Slave speech was phenomenal
• During Molly’s mercy speech, we need to see Shylock’s and Duke’s face.
• Molly, we need more time before you say tarry. The suspense does not have time to build. Mark and Zack, work with her.
• Carson, go get the pitcher for Mark.
• Duke – last line needs to be measured and said with authority.
• Trial scene
o Great job, Hayden going to Chavez
o Carson great job – reacting to Shylock in trial scene.
o SOCKS! Black or brown – girls included. Not Hannah and Savannah
o Molly – your best
o Give me judgment to judge and more to audience – cheat out.
o Mark reluctantly take off shirt.
o TY GREAT job crying
o Randall – angrier with wife line.
o HEADS UP, everyone. NO BENDING FROM THE WAIST.
o Hayden, christening
o All in all – a wonderful performance. Everyone improved.
