Everyone	Step on lines DICtion Slow motion was inconsistent Could hear talking offstage Think about your lines -= they seem too rehearsed and memorized. Too many pregnant pauses Make sure props are in place Change backstage Do not go behind scrim If we feed lines or you prompt someone, it is an automatic disqualification. Be conscious of levels More people noises after fallen beanstalk More family like at end. Work on ending 39:57 was good for going through it the first time. LEARN LINES There needs to be more suspense and more surprise when Jack has his father. Look at your lines and mean them, not just say them. People at the beginning need to be quieter moving props.
