October 5

Apologies to everyone.  This was the only chance we had to work with Greg on lighting cues, so we were not able to rehearse as much.  But the lighting and music are like additional characters so they have to be perfected as well as everyone else doing their job.
Rehearsals this week are Tuesday -5-7:00 or 7:30.  Friday -3:30-4:45
Next Sunday -2-4:30.

Everyone	Even if you are not in the scene at the moment, you need to be “acting and reacting.” Bigger change from sailors and water to children.  We will work on that Tuesday. Figure out when the dialogue starts on boat scene.  More screams on boat scene. Everyone needs to be louder. Speak in a lower register When you bring in props, be quiet.  Say your lines like you mean them, not like they are memorized.
Sailors	Could not understand lines.  Everyone was speaking too fast. Did not believe you were scared.  More facial expressions Jack and everyone more frightened. Make sure you are always holding on to the sail or you will blow away.
Water	Huhs need to be louder and flow smoother
Pomegranate	Speak slower, enunciate and be louder
Mother	I know you were ill.  You were a trouper.  Hope you get to feeling better Spencer was very astute in his comments.  Think about your character.  We need to see the struggles you have and are undergoing.  Your character, like you, is too perfect.  Think of a stereotype that has undergone struggles but continues to see the silver linings. Be poor and humble.
Plum	When you say No, it should be more clear and it should be louder and more like you can’t believe it.
Reese	Pause on the bench. Say attack, ned then jump off Say your lines like you mean them, not like they are memorized.
To do	Flexible wire with plants on ladders. STICKS Small area rugs to fit on 4 X 4 areas – we need three.
Alternates	Sarah and Chloe?  I will have props for you to work on.  We desperately need sticks.
Music	Cue 3 – listen and change before Tuesday.
