Women’s scene	Hannah – get on Rose’s left side so that we have two against one.
Michelle	Hit T in start I’ll start here
Everyone	People noises as Cody shouts order order People noises after Frank’s but our jobs. No  people  noises after strike TAKE ALL TAGS OUT OF COSTUMES – TY – tag in hat. Longer celebration after train leaves and louder At the beginning, people entering stage area looks too rehearsed. Diction- Blake wrote this several times. Rain stops on Hannah’s “foreclose” Make sure to hide the snow machine. After the welfare scene, we do not have any weather except in the rain scene.  It is cold and it is hot!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don’t let the baby show. Fix the pregnant pause in the welfare scene Cough into hands not elbows Move the table back. BUT OUR JOBS _ PEOPLE NOISES Quiet moving when other scenes are the focus. Communists and perverts – people noises STEP ON LINES
Cheyanne	Your emotions on your face are starting to look rehearsed.
Men	Checkers – still do  not feel your concern for Billy when he is told to do the checkers.  Still do not feel that you feel the heat. Graham’s whistling is louder than your speaking – fix one and it better be the speaking.
Reg	Mean it when you say no, stop. Fired me on the spot – Nah – step on her line. Tell everybody – watch hands. Do you say stinking or stinkin?
Paige	Lift hat up.  Don’t twirl umbrella
Cody	You lose your accent in first Marie/Louis scene. When upset at Hilton, we have to have verbal noises.
Carson	Stress my in my steel mill When Kelly says friendly – show her the smile and continue.
Billy	SMILE and keep your head up. Diction – hit consonants. Watch a fire show to see how people fall - backdraft
Hannah	Work on accent –hit consonants Work on accent –hit consonants BE LOUD Still screechy Fight back crying. Stage business in each scene. When you yelled Reggie, it was too high pitched.
Cody and Savannah	Seems rehearsed When you kiss at the beginning after checkers scene – it looks rehearsed.
Frank	Fight back more with Graham – especially vocally
Nate	Let’s see the anger grow before you pull her hair. Act hurt, keep head up.  It hurts to breathe. You need stage business when Rose says, I clean houses all day.
Savannah	Watch putting in the wrong end of the cig in your mouth – No one will want to kiss you if you have a burned up mouth. When frozen, wait until the sound to move. Great job waiting for the vote. Your monologue must be in front.
Billy and Nate	Let’s go speech – step on lines
