Sunday, February 7

Sunday February 9, 2014 - On Tuesday, remember to be here by 8:15 in costume. (no food) I will probably have sandwich stuff for basketball players. We will just go over it once. On Wednesday, I want you here by 7AM.  I'll try to get donuts or something. You will be able to watch Brownfield.  DO NOT take advantage of this.  I said you would be back in class by 11:15.

Everyone	1.       Step on lines 2.       Tucker and Hayden change places during  the dance 3.       Walk out like puppets 4.       Necks need to be limber. 5.       Roll Bigger – when the body twists around 6.       The dance must be perfect and all dancers must be together 7.       During first dance -1/2 go out door left stage and half go out door right stage – do it in same groups as the second dance 8.       Everyone – think about the lines and what each one means to the meaning of the play – do not repeat memorized lines. 9.       Watch straight lines whether they are diagonal, horizontal or vertical. 10.   We must have people noises. 11.   REACT TO LINES.  Every line that is uttered on stage should have a reaction. 12.   Move the set in character.  13.   Levels are needed. 14.   Be sure you can be seen by all three judges. 15.   Quiet backstage. 16.   Second dance needs to be together. Stagger the line in this dance.  We will work on that tomorrow. 17.   Work on diction – hit consonants. 18.   Don’t walk behind scrim 19.   Enter and Exit in character. 20.   Get louder before Graham demands silence 21.   WE need to hear red hot line 22.   DO NOT MESS With HAIR OR CLOTHES 23.   You should know how your character feels.  When is he more outgoing – happy? When is he not?  This needs to be figured out by you.  Do you know why you are doing it? 24.   Enter immediately after Ty’s monologues. 25.   There should be no pregnant pauses. 26.   In the first scene, after everyone is crazy, the loudness must die slowly because you are trying to figure out what the excitement is coming into the ward. 27.   Levels in chicken scene. 28.   React to Harding’s glowing remarks about Ratched. 29.   When aides come in, patients exit – cheese it scene. 30.   React when Candy comes in and when she leaves. 31.   When Ratched passes in your proximity, move as if you are scared of her. 32.   We must hear red hot can of beer. 33.   People noises after patients are looking for mac. 34.   Whenever one patient becomes upset, everyone does.  This is several times during this show.
Austin	Be rude and mean Don’t be blocked in Candy scene.
Warren	Remember to freeze – Remember to exit left stage after you get the money and whiskey.
Sydney	More authority – especially after the first fight. Louder when music is on. Walk with authority – each time you walk. Turn off TV instead of unplugging it. Louder what was that activity. Cheat more in therapy sessions. Lines seem rehearsed. Be sure to interrupt Harding when needed.  Step on lines. When Billy raises his hand. Say Billy to recognize him. Watch posture. Haven’t you gentlemen  - more authority. I see – controlling your anger. When you are taking away privileges, this is a fight you have to win.
Aides	You are the first words we hear besides the chief’s.  Speak clearly and hit consonants. Be afraid of Ratched when she speaks directly to you. Do not walk aimlessly.  You have been given jobs to do. One of you whistle when entering Get Brodie when he is standing and let him sit. When you walk through, laugh, whistle – drink when you have flashlights. Move the desk for the therapy session.
Billy	Don’t smoke – Great job today. Don’t knock over trash can and expose light.
Tucker and Sydney	Cheat out in group meetings.
Cheswick	Slow down
Cheswick and Martini	Don’t sit the same and cheer the same.
Savannah	Use lower register of voice.
Ty	Louder Why random yell in first monologue? Don’t cross body with gestures.  Use upstage hand. Go through the door.
Maxine	Did not hear your line about the place being crazy Watch talking upstage. Where are the cat eye glasses.
Lights	Can we put a light on the box at the end when Ty is trying to pick it up? Turn on lights on Martini, Cheswick, and Scanlon at the end, then when they finish talking, turn it off. Red light at end of show before blackout.
Jared	Work on thinking through the lines. Give enough time to pause. Hit consonants.  Your diction will be judged more harshly than others.  React more to Nurse Ratched’s description of you. Names at the beginning. We need to see you being amazed by the gum.  Slide under on your back and look at them. Have to wear sunglasses everytime we take a pee.
Nolan	Freeze at the beginning.
Tucker and Mac O	Work on dances
Brodie	Be on floor in straight jacket toward the beginning of the play.
Paige & Tucker	During therapy sessions, Paige work with meds.  Tucker – decide which therapy sessions you are going to sit and which you will stand.
Paige & Aides	After party scene, make sure that meds and alcohol is removed or locked up.
Paige	Work on whininess.
Martini	We need more of your character. Work on walk and smiles.
Scanlon	Work on craziness more – extremely paranoid. Crazier when speaking of being bombed. Don’t yell each line.  Maybe a certain word within each line and you never know which one it is going to be.
Graham	Say hate her faster. No man could lift that – that should not be a question.
Tucker	Learn lines so that they sound natural.  Make sure you understand what each line means.  At the beginning, be in a strait jacket instead of wheel chair.
Nathan	Move so that  you are not blocked.
	Missed Lines- DO NOT REWORD YOUR LINES. AT DISTRICT, THERE WILL BE SOMEONE IN THE AUDIENCE WITH THE SCRIPT.
Warren	Sweet thing.  You want some help
Mac	What do you say?  - Missed this line Thursday too.
Billy	With Candy? They made fun of me.
Scanlon	Yeah, where you got him?  - Missed this line Thursday too. Said he was out to take us and by Jupiter he has done it! - Missed this line Thursday too.
Spivey	Yes?
Ratched	I believe an operation…- Missed this line Thursday too.
Harding	But Mac…
