Everyone	Dancing was good, but work on timing.  Rehearse during seventh period. Need stage business. Rosman – fill out papers for patients – see what kind of folders were used in 1930 Doris – keep doing the cat’s cradle or jacks Fanny – cookbook Rose – knitting Irene – Ty – play a ukulele During transitions, more walkers needed backstage.  Carry something – not everyone.  Boxes, etc. Work on words with r’s between two vowels.  Those are hard r’s.  Listen to the You Tube people again. Look up greetings for men in the 30’s. If you have a long monologue, cut it. Work on the dance in class each day. MEMORIZE 4-16 by Sunday – NO BOOKS. Enunciate, show emotions. React We will have a cell phone box. Colors for knitting. We will work on crosses, beginning where we left off – Page 8, 10, 11, 12, 14 Good walks during crosses – Grandpa, Doris, Irene, Sidney Better second time walking.  Don’t walk in the same direction.  Remember that you need to still greet people except for the poor people.  Poor people might clump together and chat looking nervous and scared. Get familiar with parts. Great job! Be ready to work on Thursday at 6:30. We will start with cross transitions and then begin with Page 14 on Thursday. I will insert cuts in the blog.  Be sure to reply to this and check the blog Wednesday for cuts to the script.
