Everyone	Look over scripts. Entrances and exits – two feet before the curtain and two feet past the curtain be in character. Watch profiles – NO PROFILES Transition to the peddler scene is too slow. Don’t throw beans down so much. Have purpose on stage. When frozen, stay frozen. Know your cues.  Pay attention backstage. Hands on each other Be afraid of the giant’s hand.  SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Work on slow motion. DO NOT GO BEHIND THE SCRIM Quieter on platform.   Use hand gestures. Above the waist. Do not talk on stage about whose lines it is. No profiles.  Stay frozen Don’t talk upstage. REACT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Learn lines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Waves and sailors	Louder
Jack and father	Need a stronger relationship. Be more family like.
Youngsters	PEOPLE NOISES Fighting – need people noises and make it more exciting. LEARN LINES so that you do not look at everyone to decide whose turn it is. Freeze and stay frozen Freeze instead of slo mo.
Giant	TOAST?
Mother and Jack	Need a stronger relationship
Cow	ANIMATED
Reese	Think about what you are doing with the watering can. Cap on back of the head. Tell the bean story magically.  Almost a wish. Don’t put hands in front of face. More stretching and yawning when you wake up. Look more confused when the sparkle things sound comes on – ask spencer.
Kate	Wait until the music stops before speaking.  Find stage business. Vary your voice vocally. Too choppy
Kiara and Kate	First giant scene was wrong. Lines were left out.  Check your script.
Kiara	Giant on stage right always.
Katylyn, Kate, Reese	Freeze together.
Rusty	Step on lines Speak toward the audience.
Reagan	Wait until music stops to start talking. No profile DICTION
Sarah	When Reagan falls, react.  You can’t believe it.  Scream.  This is something that never happens.  Stress cake Slow down Be bigger when you see that your daughter is wearing pants and running with the gant.
Kristin	Do not miss your lines and entrance. Be in character for all your parts. Don’t mess with your costume. Hold the harp to your side. Can you come up with different styles of music with each song?  Country western, jazz, real opera, pop, etc.  It might make it funnier.
Lights	The lights direct the audience’s eyes toward what scene to look at next.  Giant’s blackout was too long at end.
Cooper	We need to see you make the decision to let him go. Stress cake Tell the story, we need to see the adventure Vary your voice. Don’t cross legs. Be more disappointed when finding out Jack traded the cow and crown.
Katylyn	Make the funny lines bigger. Good chicken movements.  Be sure that you enter the area as a chicken.
Georgia	Louder
Preslee	Make sure you have the sword.
Quincy	Don’t talk upstage Make sure we know you are the captain. Enter from other side with P & P. Show a difference between the child and the father in your walk
Nate	Louder
Blake	Creepy when you are speaking to Jack.  Let us see the difference in the “real” you and the fake you.
