October 14, 2014

Everyone	Be early to rehearsal on Sunday.  we will rehearse until 4:30. Step on lines. Think about what you are saying.  Too many profiles – Turn toward the audience. Do not hit curtains. Everyone needs to be bigger Everyone – vary vocally Be panicked when giant comes back Everyone needs to use the ladder more left stage. DO NOT WALK ACROSS The BACK UNLESS YOU HAVE A REASON. –Kristen & Cooper RELATiONSHIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Eggs? We need to rework the end of the giant’s scene.  Don’t touch scrim Watch blocking Watch happy feet  Too many straight lines. Father is way older than mother.  Don’t know how to fix that.   Don’t turn into children until blackout. Do not enter the stage unless you are supposed to.  DO NOT BRING PROPS to people unless it is  your character’s job.
Sailors	ACT Like you are scared!  Spencer doesn’t believe you up in the sound booth. Hold onto the boat for dear life.
Waves	Huhs need to be louder
Preslee	Watch blocking Sarah after the sword fight. When exiting, keep crossing until you are past the curtain line. Meaner to peddler.
Cow	When the peddler is walking around you, look at the audience with a confused/suspicious look like what are you doing here? Louder and more often moos
Mother	Amazing – much better – you sounded and looked sad. Change backstage – set up a bi-fold.  Ask us to help you. Little louder Good fixing and checking on Jack Watch profiles.
Chicken & Jack	Tug at the egg for a beat.  Both of you want it.  We need to feel both Chicken’s and Jack’s needs here. Work on clucking
Father	Be scared of the blood thirsty giant.  If you have seen Jack, the Giant slayer, you would think twice about not being scared. Don’t mess with wig.  Face the audience
Peddler	We need to put you in a different shirt at the beginning.  You were great as a sailor. DICTION – WATCH PROFILES Bigger as the peddler Don’t play with your cloak
Reagan	DICTIon
NED	Don’t talk upstage
Sarah	Good characterization Panic when Reagan faints.  We need people noises.  Look around for anyone to help.
Kristen	Don’t knock.
Rusty	LOUDER
Jack	Don’t believe you love your mother or father. Bigger entrance when youngsters are talking about you. Fall earlier. Great job tonight We could see you think. Have the water can by Milky White’s house.
G WIFE	Hands above waist when gesturing Vary your voice – hit all verbs Try to appease giant. Don’t shout all the time. Be more devious with chicken. Lines need to be fresh – not rehearsed
Giant	Sneeze bigger – know you had a sore throat.
In the giant’s house	Move when money bag is thrown.  DODGE it.  You don’t know what is in it. Freeze together Kristen, watch blocking Quincy
Georgia	Stand up when you come back.
Quincy	Take more time on ladder. Great job as a youngster – laughing and being spontaneous.  If you do not have time to get over there and die, climb the ladder LS and look at the kids – laugh.
Youngsters	Watch blocking. Go BACK OVEr YOUR LINES>
Chicken	When you say – I did it – look at the egg. Be sassy and vary voice.
Blake and Reese	Good storytelling
Reagan and Sarah	Bring Quincy from USR.
Lights	Must be there before the actors are.
To do	Music when peddler goes to sleep Music line before scene 11 Different shirt for quincy Cut stomach sound Fix toast Paint benches Fix hand Woolen jacket Scabbard Cake Bean sound Green tie things and leaves
