Irene
The time had come to say brother. My husband  leave me with three small children.  No money, no work… I’s about ready to stick my head in the cookin stove.  Then the city marshal come and take my furniture and leave me sittin on an old orange crate. I start yellin and howlin like a real mean woman.  And the people crowd around the marshal truck, and  ‘fore you know it that marshal go on back downtown – empty-handed.  And that’s when I see the solidarity, and I start to preach solidarity


Fanny
Gloves, hat
Lower register when yelling at Sidney – it might be funnier to use a man voice with almost clenched teeth.
Lee and Grandpa
Remember to move more left stage in the first scene.

  1. If we're behind like Last night on the last scene is there any thing we could take out for time

  2. Yes. Read under "Everyone" - if we are behind 30 seconds or more in the welfare scene, we are cutting several lines and Irene's monologue. We will have a speed through after rehearsal on Monday night.
