February 14, 2013

Great  rehearsal.  We made a lot of headway.

Sunday – on stage dressed by 2 – end at 4:30.
We have to be better by Monday.  No one is in the first slot, so we can have more time with Freida.  Get in here by 8:30- dressed & makeup by 9.  If it takes you longer, come in earlier. I am here by 7.

Everyone	Hits need to be together Laugh at the Gibralter joke Quiet backstage Hand out pamphlets, paint signs, type pamphlets until the vote has been counted. Memorize lines. If music is playing, be louder than the music. Sing in unity Freeze together. People noises are better Music was better in the beginning Act cold, tired, angry, embarrassed in welfare scene. Work on barrel cue In welfare, people noises died.  Keep them up during the show. Remember the assigned furniture for the welfare scene, where it is, and where it goes. Remember your props. Welfare scene is still choppy – STEP ON LINES Barrel boys, good reactions.  Keep it up.  Use the barrel when it is cold and you are walking the picket line. Review cues and lines. Don’t let people noises die Billy is drunk and he is trying to say union and unionization, but it comes out onion and onionization.  Ethnic groups were laughed at because they ate onions all the time. When Nate speaks of slag, react.  It is molten steel -1425-2800degrees Fahrenheit. Take the set down in character. React….React….React Nate’s line – who’s he calling a pervert?  _ he is mystified- serious…. Ya’ll laugh at him. The talking from those working upstage should not be louder than those with lines. Make sure to hand Michelle a pamphlet Watch dropping accents. In class First, read and discuss the critique. You will be on stage acting. Set the stage. Haydon, Graham, Ty, and Jared will help the sub direct the scenes. No one is allowed to go anywhere.  Begin with scene 17, page 27 in my gray script book – “we have the results of the vote” – hit the bricks – Billy’s We marched down to the gate and a lot of us……Scene 19- to the end of the class period. Have other kids read lines for people who are absent.
Savannah	Your lines are choppy.  Look at Italian movies and see how the women act.  Watch the older women on My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I have the DVD in the back by the overhead projector. The way they use their hands is the way you should.  Listen to You Tube.  You look Italian and you flirt Italian – now live it.
Michelle and Nathan	Gloves
Tucker	Look up the definition of slag. Slow down.
Ty	We got nothing to lose.  Laugh with the guys and make this build.
Jared and Hannah	Get out sooner and be stopped when the others begin speaking at the beginning.
Hannah	Louder in welfare scene Great scenes with Jared.  – cry from within. Great at the end.
Nathan	Good job in welfare scene.
Cheyanne	Make coughs and sneezes realistic.
Jared	Say your line with Ty about holding on – with more emphasis and louder.
Cody	You were good as the foreman. But we need to see you come over to the strikers’ side. Freeze
Ty and Mac	Good job in the back.
