Sandra
and Candy drink and giggle as they try to get in. They laugh about the rain,

Staging

Martini & Cheswick cross behind
the station and enters USL. Warren
enters first followed by Scanlon.
Scanlon frightens Warren. He jumps. Warren and Mac exchange
money. Warren starts to drink his
whiskey and when the girls come in, he shakes his head and panics. Martini
and Cheswick cross to right stage waiting for the girls. Scanlon takes the sack from Candy &
goes to the cabinet to get more drugs out.
Cheswick follows Scanlon. Candy flirts with everyone and walks to “be
the center of attention.” She crosses to Billy. All eyes are on her. Sandra comes in – after Mac swings her
around. She (squeals) and heads to
Harding – line. She knows Harding is
not comfortable and runs to (Squeals) Cheswick. She drags Cheswick onto DCS.
Candy is dancing. All the guys are
watching them and making people noises. Candy is dancing and drinking –cough syrup. Ruckly –whack em all – Cheswick chases
Candy while Ruckly dances by himself.
CRAZY – Sandra starts slow dancing
with Harding and he freezes, so she goes to Cheswick and Martini and dances
with both DS between C and R. Scanlon is drinking left of nurses’ station.
Chief is sitting DSL smiling at his friends. Billy and Candy enter. Ratched enters USR. Scanlon gets up to give
Mac a drink, sees Ratched and runs up to record player trying to stop
it. Scanlon climbs down from top of nurses’
station & stays on top step of nurses station – gradually squatting and
clutching box. Cheswick and Sandra cross SR. Martini crosses CSL-between the
aides and Chief. Chief moves down to floor by the chair he was sitting in.

I feel as if the girls would be alot more ditsy.
ReplyDeleteWhen the girls enter the party scene and we are drinking we need to set up the drinks in a convineit place where it's not awkward to walk over and get a drink!
ReplyDeleteWhen Rached finds us, this could be the end. This is our open act of defiance, and that she found us is terrifying. We are not conveying that.
ReplyDeletePlease look at Ty's comment. We have been missing this.
ReplyDeleteThe party scene could use some work it seems kind of dull. Remember that you all are somewhere that you guys don't have party's! You all have to get excited. Also more excited when you see the girls also remember that nurse Ratched is the only girls you see ALL the time and candy and Sandra are far from what nurse ratched is like.
ReplyDeleteI think that the aides are making strides as far as being mean and portraying Ratched's thoughts through our actions.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ty, we need to have facial expressions that we could all be getting a surgical procedure. We could be in huge trouble, show this be very scared. Harding could be so scared he was crying, different things like this to show your emotions.
ReplyDeleteWe all need to focus on being your character each practice the whole time. Not acting as your character, but actually being your character out on the stage. This will show to the audience that we are not just high school kids playing crazy people, we are actually these individual people.
ReplyDeleteY'all just need to have fun and act like crazy people!!!
ReplyDeletewe are doing great you guys keeep it up
