March 13

March 13, 2014
Everyone
Hallelujah!  HOPE IS NEAR!
We are contenders!
I’m going to be nit picky
If anyone wants to go to Seminole on Tuesday, let me know.  We can only take five and Paige and Jonathan are going - so there are three spots left. 
Ratched
This was your best – I disliked you.
Enter faster and interrupt the aides.
Interrupt Flinn and walk off before she is finished.
Interrupt defunct line and move more CStage.
We need to see the decision to say Billy Bibbit and his speech problem.
Say may terminate to Spivey.
Neck brace
Use the window more.  Have it closed unless you are speaking to the men.
From Teresa
Please (look out over audience’s heads) Beat -Look at Mac and say the rest of the line – shut the window.
Would anyone Like to begin
Be denied.
First…for 30 days – walk among the men.
Don’t cross arms
After billy’s death, don’t stop – head straight for Mac with determination.  Barrel into Mac.
From Reagan - react to the bell and look at the clock or look at your wristwatch.
We still need to get meetings started on time.
Men
Bench needs to be down.
Commit to being crazy so that Harding’s line will make sense about SILENCE!
Thanks for the people noises
React to the door and entrance.
2nd dance – come in as puppets.
Step on lines in the first therapy session. It DRUG!
Hide the red on stage somewhere so that we can start that scene earlier.
LOONIES, Remember to hide when you leave following bedtime & watch them wheel Mac in.
Pecking party – the therapy session – you are supposed to peck at each other like chickens.
The reaction to Candy’s entrance was too staged.  When you hear her heels walk – perk up.  Everyone is in love with her at first sight. Stop in the middle of putting chairs back. You need to be 90% more infatuated with her essence.
You all are still not reacting to Sandra and Candy enough. 
Medical people
Wheel Mac in as Nurse Ratched is speaking to the boys.  You should be coming in as the loonies are exiting.
When the poem starts to go slower, you should be through – too much time in electro shock.
Clean up the area following the party quickly.
Music
Interrupt Harding’s therapeutic silence with the door.
Mac
It’s a sure thing – hit thing and bring it down.
Heya – say it on the way to the table.
Whistle sooner after second dance.  Enter asap.
Talk to Billy about being funny with the muh….
This was your best performance.
Billy
Excellent job trying to get people to notice Mac’s entrance.  You helped create the ensemble so well.
Lights
Light on the guards entering USL when they come through with flashlight.
Lights off the patients during Electro shock.
Overall the lights were great!
Scanlon
Excellent talking to Harding when Ratched attacked Billy.
Harding
Loved you throughout – you stayed focused and you were harding.
Candy
Blow kisses to boys
Your expressions were priceless.  Loved the way  you reacted to tramp.
Flirt more with all the guys in t he party scene.
Good job giggling in.  
Stage managers
Make sure the curtain is where the red mark is.
Amy
THANK YOU !
Bromden
The best you have done.  You had such feeling talking about your father.
Loved the end.
Austin
Before the fight scene, loved the way you hit the chief.
Bromden and Harding
Loved the way you held Mac back… make that part of the play.
Sandra
Great job tonight.  You were so much better tonight.  Read the instructions for Sandra on the blog for the party scene. You and Brooke are still in the running for the role.
Good job giggling in.   Throw a beer bottle in the trash can so it will be used.  
Martini
Great job – your best tonight too.  You were focused and the smile was great!
Warren
Loved the entrance in the party scene.  You were ill at ease and it made us feel for you.
Flinn
Great job keeping the set together. Loved you peeking out the window and getting Ratched’s attention.
Cheyanne
Great job with the lights.  They are tough to do.
Issac
Amazing job with music.  You are a natural!
Kayla
Laurel
Thanks for keeping everything together!
Let me know how the directions went tonight.  Thanks for your input from Sunday.  When we are doing makeup - remind me of your comment.

  2. I wasn't there last night so I don't know how it went, so we usually need more energy and stepping on lines. I feel if we step on lines we won't need to cut very much more.

  3. So so happy we finally have it all coming together. Also, if we step on lines even more I think it will help trim some time off.

  7. My mom said that she had some trouble hearing a few of us at the public performance so I guess we could project a little more

  9. Are practices are improving a lot but we still have work to do. We all need to bring energy to every practice as we did on Thursday. It improved our characters and makes the whole show better. Time has been a issue but having energy, stepping on lines will assure we can make it under time.

  12. We had a great practice last night but still have things to work on. we need to continue to work on stepping on lines to cut down on time. The party scene improved by a ton and if we keep working like we did last night we have a shot at winning district.

  14. Great rehearsal last night guys. If we improve every practice like we did last night, we will be well on our way to our goal of winning distrcit and advancing. The party scene improved tremendously because of the high energy level from everyone involved. Awesome practice and lets keep it up!

  15. Another thing to be worked on is myslef as Williams and Austin as Spivey. I feel Austin being a big guy being afraid of Ratched could be a great asset to our play.

  16. I think that one of the main places that is dragging is the beginning so if we just fix that and make therapy sessions a little faster we should be able to fix any timing issues.
