1. Thank you for your work last night. I know that Act 2 is rough because we haven't run it enough... hopefully last night helped with that.
LEARN YOUR LINES!!! LEARN YOUR LINES!!! LEARN YOUR LINES!!! 
Andy - arms around waist or around chest... not on her shoulders... in the bedroom scene. This got better the second time around but keep working together touching and getting comfortable.
Abbie, Andy, Mike, Drew, Cassandra, Mary - The set up in the bedroom is changing slightly to accommodate safety and throwing drew on the bed... please explore that space the next time you are here. And ask Mike if you have any questions about curtains, boundaries, etc.
Tristan - Still getting too "mumbley" I have a hard time understanding you in some sections so still work on that voice. You fit the character because you are YOU, don't depend on the voice so much.
Drew- Good power in that "stand off" scene with Pellinore.
Abbie - the monologue in the bedroom is starting too big... let it grow. You're talking too fast and I can't understand some parts. Probably need more diction up there. Just really digest all these terrible things that could happen and discover these ideas in the moment like they are new thoughts.
Andy- Don't Surrender until after his line is over "surrender in the name of the king" (beat) start to put arms down...
Abbie - Hug tightly behind him when you are caught.
Andy - Don't carry Guen over your shoulder. Bring on a sword... pretend to cut the rope in one quick cut, lift her off bench, take her hand and RUN off with her, you leading through the gate.
Drew - Forest Scene - Don't move until you cross behind AFTER you say "detain him for the night." Then don't cross so far away from the edge of the box when you are unwrapping candy.
Courtney - Don't look at him when you are speaking. Your voice drops off and we can't hear you. Be louder. Don't move off of the box until you say "Farewell nasty mordred"
Andy - the line is "Above Board..." Not "above Broad"
Andy - Good rejection on "nor shall I come to you again"
Larry - Scene with Pellinore raving about Mordred... You're too nonchalant about it... I think these things that Mordred is doing ARE really frustrating and a huge burden. So I want to see the struggle he has between all these things that are actually getting under his skin. "He's preying on Provincialism...mocking chivalry, etc" Let yourself get a little worked up when you talk about these things. So that the line about "civil law" calms you down and then hopefully the audience will catch WHY you can't just banish him why you have to let fate run it's course...
Larry - I've noticed you look at the ground quite a bit... or at least a downward direction... and it tends to be when "he"/Arthur is deep in thought or being very internal. And i think in a smaller house it would completely work but I'm worried about the top 5-6 rows... they need to see your face more... I'm not saying NEVER look down just wanted to make you conscientious of it.
