Foreigner

EVERYONE
DICTION – SLOWER
STEP ON LINES
Don’t just say the lines – give the audience the meaning through your emotions.
Look over lines
Always be involved in what is happening.
Don’t lose your character.
The dialogue and emotions are one level: they should be varied.
Watch who is sitting and standing or sitting on different levels. Adjust yourself.
Quiet backstage.
Hayden is the only one with energy. Everyone needs to be at his level.
What is going on when the KKK runs away?
LOUDER
QUIET BACKSTAGE
If you are supposed to be scared, be scared.
LEVELS
Look interested in who is speaking.  Focus on them.
Energy level is down.
Stay in character.
During the furniture move, speak – be anxious. You are trying to keep the KKK out.
LISTEN TO MAC while he is getting sent off.  Some be amused, some are mad at him.
REACT TO EXPLOSION.
Intermission – On page 21. After Charlie says, “Frankenstein, yes…”
Keys – Amber
Everyone’s entrances – they should be wet – except for Lindsey and Avery.  I WANT WATER!!!!
Rifle bags – Cody and Nelsons
Wheelbarrow - Hannah
REAGAN
React to what is happening with facial expressions. More reactions
GRAHAM
Diction.  After Betty knows it is you, take the mask off.
COLE
LOUDER
SAVANNAH
Learn your lines
HANNAH
Learn your lines
MAC
Be sure to take Catherine’s reaction more to heart.  Are you angry, frustrated, sad?
TUCKER

CODY
Be sure that we can see you.  Angle bench out if someone is beside you.
Be a creepy KKK guy.
MUSIC
Music should go through transitions
Be careful that we can hear actors over the sound. If you can’t hear them, no one can
Music is too loud.
Lights
Be on time – know that is hard when we haven’t gone through the play.
