February 17

February 17, 2013

Everyone	Much better second time around. React to and about Michelle when she comes in contact with the strikers – on the strike and in the voting area. Transition must be faster after the voting scene. Don’t let the people noise die. Change in the welfare scene. Most of you are doing this – being cold, dismayed, etc; but the people who are not “in to the scene” are causing the welfare scene to be unbelievable ( not unbelievable good). BE QUIET changing all scenes.  Women’s shoes.  Radio scene is good. “youngest guy on the line” needs to be louder. Know what the weather is.  Allison, give me the sheet you worked on for the weather and everyone needs to be on the same page. When it is hot, you need to be sweaty. Hit the bricks – beat must be together We need strikers on strike after scene 17.  Be out there.  Work, smoke, eat, drink. Find stage business. Memorize lines! The ending needs to be stronger and the hit more committed.  It is victorious. We need smokers during the voting scene – no one outlawed smoking in public buildings React    React    react Exit in character Hand out flyers in back before the vote is counted. Watch hats in faces. Keep the energy up all the way through. At the end, we need more people throwing hats.  Do something different. Don’t drag chairs. Be different in each scene. When Nate and Rose fight, girls whisper and gossip We need more levels in the train scene Girls need to sit up straight – wear corsets When you talk in the welfare scene, make sure the audience can see you. The transition from steel mill to the Marie Louis scene was better. First bar scene was good. First Hilton scene was good. Hell with the rest of us scene was good Second Hilton meeting was amazing. Graham ‘s – order scene was good. Rose, Marie’s and Hayden’s scene was good. More strike signs at the end.  Solidarity forever at the end was great.
Tucker	Need a relationship with Allison at the beginning Be louder in the steel mill Poles – you were blocked. Must see a reaction to the slap. Throw cards in the hat so that you seem disinterested in Allison. At the end, you are hurt.  Act hurt. Step on lines with Billy. Be angrier at Billy for leaving you. Jump sideways so that the men do not fight you so far back.
Hannah	Cheat out to the audience more. Lost your accent at times.
Men	You must be louder in the steel mill.
Cody	We must see more of you going over to the other side.
Tucker and Hayden	More nervous about the bag.
Times	4:45 sec – Don’t come up here Reggie 9:30 You know the foreman in the change house 19 min –What are you going to do? This strike is a time to change. 24 – You mind me too, Capiche? 28:50-They deserve to be treated like people, not machines 33:30 – No, Billy, that’s not what we need.
Savannah	Still choppy Frozen at the beginning – look at exit sign until you and Louis are spoken to.
To do	Women who are making sandwiches – wear aprons including Marie in the where’s marie scene.
Reg and Alice	Your relationship does not feel real.  The Ach dearie – is something they share – a secret code – make this endearing. Look at the scene that you both missed twice – Don’t say that…
Nate & Billy	This must seem real.  Both of you are hot headed and spur of the moment kind of guys.  Hang on each other’s words.  Step on lines.
Nate and Rose	Develop the relationship more.  Where there is heart, the audience needs to see it.
Carson	Sit professionally and find busy work. – especially in first scene. Frozen at the beginning
Paige	Lower voice
Allison	Keep looking for Nate as you did today.
Graham	Move action of looking for Savannah farther CS.  Ask several people and be looking for her before you see her.  CIGARETTES More over the top with Marie and Vinnie. Slap your hat to your legs after she says capiche.
Hayden	Say Glory Days reverently
Light	Spot on Hayden until he blows dust then lights on everyone.
Ty	Must see you in the line about sticking together.
Cody	Quicker to find Billy during the first two stanzas of the song.
Mac and Savannah	Bar scene – slow mo when you are not the focus.
Mac	Don’t laugh in the wall scene.
Lights and everyone	Train scene – brief blackout before Ty and Reg bump.
