A few more things...

First, thank you for all of your continuous hard work to make this show amazing.  I truly appreciate your dedication!!!

Second, as I mentioned, tomorrow is the last show where you can use your comp tickets. 

Third, Don't forget, you have to be there at 1:30 tomorrow.  Alexia will be there at noon (?), I will be there at 1:00 (or sooner if I can get motivated and alive enough to leave sooner).  

And then... one last thing...

Admittedly, I've been at war with myself.  Part of me wants to just say, we're here, let's just enjoy the show for what it is and so on… Then there's the other part of me that really wants things to be the best that they can be – and I hope you feel this way too – so, that said…here are a few more notes. 

PLEASE read over these and try your best to fix the things you can fix…

Lines after all shook up need to be faster.

Why was there a leather jacket in act two?
Can the special lights (on clown and funhouse) not go out during a little less conversation?
Natalie give your hat to your dad during Fools Fall In Love
Remember to throw your bouquets offstage/behind you… 
There shouldn't be a leather jacket for act two.
Why did the carnival lights go out?
Carnival lights out before if I can dream.
The traveler keeps opening onto the funhouse mirror.
Cast if you see the traveler in front of any set piece and it shouldn't be, nonchalantly fix it please.
React more when earl reveals love for Matilda

In general everyone needs to look like they're having more fun.  Keep up the energy from start until finish. 
Jarrett please stop whispering.

For everyone who needs this note: PROJECT!!! DO NOT count on the mics to always pick you up. 

Is there anyone left who can help Krystle pin her hat on for the wedding?
Don't rush that's alright
Sean don't change the blocking for That's Alright.  Stay Stage Right of Lorraine. It makes the scene awkward if you don't.
Mark don't prat fall or trip, it looks forced.

Everyone… please don't slouch.  It just looks sloppy.  Stand tall and proud. 

If mistakes are to be made, make them with confidence. 

Always be confident in what you're doing.

THINK during the dances, but don't show it on your face. 

EVERYONE should be singing when it's time to sing.  No one should just be backstage chilling.  There's a time and a place for that. 

HAVE FUN!!!

A message from Olivia...

Cast: Everything I've heard about your rehearsals since last I worked with you makes me SO PROUD! I'm so sad I don't get to see your finished product, but I have confidence that each and every one of you is going to shine! Remember to warm up your voices, "sing out, Louise", and most importantly... Have FUN! Break aallllll the limbs tonight!

Love,

Olivia

Christian City Rehearsal...

The audience loved the show...and what a great audience they were!  The main comments I got were that Act I was slow and seemed to drag.  This can be fixed by going over your lines and saying them more quickly.  This doesn't mean that you need to speed through your lines, but a majority of them could stand to be delivered faster.  Another thing that will help is to have more energy throughout.  Every time you are on stage it shouldn't be/appear/etc...like you're bored or that you're just going through the motions.  Keep it fresh.  

Everyone, if you haven't already, please give Jill a couple of bucks for the water.  Thank You Jill for getting the water for us. 

Each night you do the show it gets better and better.  You're all finally discovering your characters and having fun with the show and it shows.  Keep up the good work.  

My notes went from 4-5 pages over the last few rehearsals to only one page.  Please look over  the notes and try to fix anything that needs to be fixed.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to let me know. 

THANK YOU!

Jared

Either just before you come down the stairs or just before you come into the dressing rooms, there will be a sign in sheet. Be sure to put a check or "x" mark beside your name so that we know you are here. If you are not here, you will be called, unless we know that you aren't going to be there. This is starting tomorrow... NOT tonight.
