Falicia - More ice in the tubes
SCENE 1 - Tempo Tempo Tempo
Abbie- during Simple Joys - Sit earlier on the bench it's a great moment but you sit and then almost immediately stand up again... just an idea.
Larry - maybe play with being more exposed and almost "giddy" (that's not the right word) after your sword and stone speech - you say until my eyes beheld you...and then I wanted to be the best king ever, etc. Right now it's reading very cerebral and I think you could go more emotional because it is such a revealing moment to Guenevere. Play with it...
Jim Lucas - Cue 31 went too early... Arthur has to get his cape and then go get set at the bench in the black out... the fanfare plays to fill that time... Don't do lights up until Cest Moi Track Begins.
Falicia - The water flask needs to be emptied each night as well... it leaks so I don't want water kept in it all weekend. So make sure you fill it each night preshow...
Ben - Sorry your prop wasn't ready last night I forgot that I sprayed it...
Andy - Arthur says "You know Merlyn...." Pick up your cue on your next line...
Ben - Pick up your feet when walking behind the audience. your slippers are noisy. Thanks. The cheating out was MUCH better so thanks for that!
Andy - Skipping to 2nd act. When you have the sword at Drew's neck... Don't Bobble. It's going to be 2 steps back so that he is in posistion to be thrown on the bed. Step back with your Right...Step back with you left. (while saying your lines... duh) and then throw on bed. DREW AND ANDY PRACTICE THIS 3 TIMES BEFORE TONIGHT's SHOW!
ALL - Your arms in Lusty were correct again!!!! YAY!
Knights - Quick step it up those stairs... don't worry about walking quietly... Manly steps!
ALL - after you've exited from the knighting ceremony and you get to a spot where you can no longer be seen by the audience FREEZE. If I hear any noise backstage during Arthur's Vengence Speech I WILL STOP THE SHOW. That monologue is 3 minutes tops and then we are at Intermission and you can move all you want. QUIET BACKSTAGE - your show is really stunning so don't ruin it by talking backstage.
ALL - you shaved 10 minutes off the first act last night so YAY!! keep up the tempo. Second act was longer than usual...so clean up those cues tighten it up.
Mary Piper - Your solo is coming along nicely I can hear you much better... work on more diction, consonants so that I can understand the lyrics better.. Now on your spoken dialogue..needs to be MUCH louder
Abbie and Larry - You used to have a laugh moment where you laughed that neither one of your whistle very well... can I get that back? (Simple Folk)
Hailey - on the dance break of simple folk ... it's your heel that hits the ground and your knee is bent... think Ho-down...country dancing. SARAH AND HAILEY PRACTICE THIS DANCE 3 TIMES BEFORE THE SHOW TONIGHT
Jim Lucas - I think I want to cut the "blinks" in the forest scenes in act 2. They just aren't reading the way I wanted them to. This is around Cue #73 and so on... I won't have time to reprogram them... can you skip over them tonight and manually put in the number for the black out and then you should be back on track with the order of the cues? Ask Rebecca on this tonight when you get there if you have questions about how to do this.
Jim Parsons - Run off with Mike after "Arthur you're inviting a massacre" Like you are going to go fight.
ALL - You are dragging tempo during Guenevere (singing too slowly) - Listen to the track and sing with more DICTION (fronts and backs of words) SING THIS SONG WITH YOUR REHEARSAL TRACK TONIGHT BEFORE YOU COME TO THE SHOW
Breh - Don't forget your CD player for us. Thanks
ALL - During Lusty month of may... Thank you for listening and sitting when Guen talks to Pellinore... she says "You're in Camelot" and then she invites you to sit... You went too early last night... but I do appreciate you taking the note. Let her tell you to sit.
Garrett- When you escort Pellinore. Quicker Faster Louder. "Yes your majesty!" Jump up and be excited to escort him off!
Mike - You are still stuck in that awkward triangle between guen and pellinore. When you let your gaurd down... turn and walk and go back to stand with Amanda in that clump you were in.
Andy - Bow/Kneel on "You're Majesty" when you meet the Queen. Like when you met the King
Abbie - "never found chivalry tedious...so far" ... he's annoying you with Chivalry... That's not quite reading so give it more weight... ask me if you don't know what this means.
Andy - Yes on Second cross that you made to the stairs... not the first.. I think you knew the first one didn't work and then you corrected it on the second. Thank you for taking that note and making it work. The second lean looked nice too. THEN stay there... you don't have to lean the whole time and you can maybe take 1 step in.... but I put you out there to add some space to the scene so don't close it off again by going back to Abbie.
Abbie - Take a step toward Andy maybe somewhere around "achieved perfection?" This will open the scene up and also allow your annoyed look back to arthur to be more apparent.
ALL - Make the move to get your blankets at the end of Lusty scene more organic... meaning not everyone go back there at once...stagger it
Abbie- Maybe roll your eyes or be more annoyed when you run into Lancelot in the Kings room... maybe you haven't been able to steal a moment alone with Arthur since they met...he's always around! blah blah... then you can cover and paint on the politeness and it will read more detest... ask if you are confused...
Abbie - Yes on Fight moment... that's all looking really good. keep it up
ALL - WE WILL GO OVER THIS BEFORE THE SHOW TONIGHT>>>> so be prepared at 7:15ish to at least mark through this in the space before house opens... ( I don't need royalty just ensemble and Lancelot) during "dramatic Joust Moment" the girls I told to run off with Drew (breh and someone) cut that. Then the EXIT I told the ensemble to make after you bow... cut that. I want to see everyone do their quick bow to lancelot and then just slowly and dramatically move to that far right side of the stage clumped up by the top of the stairs... wait for the blackout on the king just like you USED to... then grab your bench and exit like you used to. No need to run... go directly and quietly but no need to run.
Garrett - do not hold the scroll in front of your face when you are announcing the Knights' names
Breh - "Crack Him" go WAY over the top... be silly with it maybe it will get a laugh... think boy yelling at the tv during a football game... you are a jousting fanatic.
Andy - When you come into the final scene... have your good real sword again.
ALL - RUN out to get into your lines for curtain call ... It's way too slow. Tighten it up... quicker. (my 4 individual bows ignore this)
ALL - very general note... DONT TOUCH STUFF! I don't know how to explain this but if it isn't your prop or your costume...as an actor you shouldn't deal with it. (not yelling at anyone in particular but for example... concession area, tables, ticket booth, programs, curtains, parachute, blue audience chairs, the airport rope things, etc. We need to be respectful of Scott and the Theatre because he has graciously opened his doors for us.
ALL - you should never been seen by the audience when you are prepping to enter the stage... kiddos... if you can see the audience...the audience can see you. When STRIKING THE BENCHES... put them Right next to the Audience... don't have them sticking out in no man's land for the audience to trip over during intemission etc. TURN OFF BATHROOM LIGHTS WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED ( this turns on a really annoying fan and it's loud during the show)
ALL - Don't forget to park in grass by shed.
OPENING NIGHT!!!! YAY!!!!! See you in a few hours.
