REHEARSAL  - March 16, 2012

Guys	Haircuts – soon
Crew	Look back through makeup and see what we need.
Rose	Wear fur in the beginning
Robertson	Country knelt; crap table; Germany; worry; world Red, white, believed, blanket – hit the consonants in each word
Moe	Cemetery Great work on your character – we could tell you have thought about it.
Fanny	Act more troubled in the beginning.
People in Baum’s house in the beginning	STEP ON LINES
Needs	1 glass & martini glasses Fix Graham’s pants Yo yo Flowers – Flower pots – 3 (tulips) (hydrangea)(sunflower) (pansies) Green stuff for flowers – foam Quilt Spray clip boards Cut material Lawrence in charge of knocking in the back. Bank books Hose for women Lift in Zach’s shoes Paint sign and trunks and stool. More strike signs Pencil holder and pencils Watches Music Instant tea Jelly Loaves of bread – serrated knifewooden pencil
Grandpa	Work on voice. I know that it may hurt your, but the judges have taken a lot of voice classes and know that growling hurts the throat. Be more shaky at the end of the play.  Your leg has probably gotten worse – react to the pain.
Abbey & Allison	Great reactions in the beginning.
Lee	Louder and enjoy singing. Work on believed speech as if each one is just thought of. I got to go was slurred.
Rose and Moe	Join in with them singing.
EVERYONE	Wear watches. Richer and richer – be excited. HAPPY in the beginning Laugh more natural People noises during all dances Bar scene – feel your character – make us believe the situation. Freezes are like unsaid lines – you need to be into it and mean it. When you mean to freeze – commit to it. Work on accents and particularly consonants – d’s and t’s Work on people noises – not zombie like monotone grunts. We need different variations of laughs – they all sound the same.  If you have read this critique – text or comment on the blog on one item. Stay in the moment – stop visiting. There should never be a clump in the back of the stage. EVERYONE needs something to do. Could not hear several scenes because of talking backstage. Energy and intensity are the keys to this play.  Each scene is dramatically intense or has energy. Get serious – especially strikers. Reread Rick Garcia's and Freida's comments again.
Savannah	More time on stage. Good job with Graham.
Tony	We need to see you see the horror of a man falling and breaking every bone in his body. You are painting a picture so that the others can experience and see it.
Savannah and Hannah	Stay in the moment – stop visiting.
