ITW Notes

Notes…..In no particular order

1.   Act II Finale-Part 1… please have folks exit in different directions.  This needs to be figured out before the run tonight.

2.   Ben R.  Nice stance for CF.  Stay focused and in character the entire show.

3.   W-see me about “nectarines”.

4.   Blue-Line

5.   The “cow” SR-can be seen when it is in the wings.

          Move it farther off stage.

6.   Remember to open the curtain in the beginning-all the way-ok?

7.   All crew-when moving props/sets remember to walk in a character’s pace-don’t rush-you are part of the show.

8.   We need Flour!  (can someone bring some tonight?)

9.   JM-when you run on stage and scream about what has happened to J…please ebb and flow with your voice-it can’t stay all at one pitch level.  You will be understood better-and the emotion will be seen even more clearly (pg. 138-139)

10.                 Yellow Chairs have a tag sticking out.

11.                 Baker’s wooden bowel also has a sticker that needs to be removed.

12.                 J/LR remember you are two “young” teens bickering.  Almost like siblings.  Keep trying to top one another.

13.                 LR-please pull back your scream-to piercing in sound.

14.                 B-In No one is Alone- “No one is alone-not “no one ACTS alone”.

15.                 M. 42 in No One is Alone-please correct that. B/C

16.                 MOVE ALL DIALOGUE.  Scenes are too slow.

17.                 MM-please work on ending notes.

18.                 #64-C, LR, B, J-too slow

GREAT JOB FOLKS!!!!!

INTO THE WOODS

Folks!

You have the potential of creating one of the best musicals to hit the JHS stage.. . .

Stay Alert.
Stay Focused.
Stay positive.
Be kind.
Be motivated.
Be supportive.
Be aware of where we are in the play while backstage.
Be honest-give up your phone.
Be a helpful cast/crew member.
Be calm.
Respect the process.
Respect others.
Respect yourself.

BEING AN ACTOR MAKES YOU DIFFERENT FROM MOST PEOPLE. 

BEING  AN ACTOR IS CHALLENGING. 

BEING AN ACTOR MAKES YOU USE YOUR CREATIVE GIFTS


BEING AN ACTOR FORCES YOU TO PLAY “PRETEND” AND PLAY “DRESS UP” EVEN THOUGH YOU’RE A GROWN UP! 

BEING AN ACTOR OBLIGES YOU TO LIVE AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE THAT OTHERS ONLY DREAM ABOUT. 

11/7/16-Notes

Notes…in no particular order:

    Wolf-Move when you are eating LR.  Move the blankets around-be more physical.

    Wolf-Red material in your mouth by tomorrow night.

     Narrators-please review cues

 Baker-place LR’s cape back on calmer and the right way.  Take the time to do that.

 RP-please work with Miss Ann-in the scene when you are blind

W-you need to be even uglier.

C-in Opening Prologue Act I-great tableaux

 #11-needs work

 SM-we need to work on the scenes where you cut the feet of your daughters.  Needs to be bigger.  Lift the legs up-exaggerate the entire event.

Wolf-if you really need to leave your scene early-slip under the covers-slowly…or..Baker/Granny sit differently on the bed-to hide you a bit.

Baker-Satchel?

“It Takes Two”-cheat a bit more-both actors.  This is a wonderful scene.

LR-Flowers?

LR-watch pitch in song

Wolf-watch pitch in song

Wolf-needs boots/different shoes.

Wolf/Steward-you need knee highs-please see Heather

There MUST be scripts on each side of the stage-in the Punnel as well.

Song #14-run

2 Midnights-Needs help

LR-review lines

Giants?  Really?
