January 28, 2018

Everyone	Start with Tom and Mira Monday night at My dad’s dead on page 35. In class tomorrow start on page 24 Keep accent More vocals during bombs Not everyone needs to cough following bombing. At the beginning of show, don’t freeze – react to what is happening on the beach. Learn your lines People noises – can only hear Maky. More expression during Chamberlain’s speech.  SOME COUGH after bombings. Scene needs more energy when soldiers leave – farewell scene. React BIGGER to each other. All gunshots need to be louder Move in side leg curtains so slo mo people can get off stage easier.
sound	First machine needs to be louder at the beginning Fade siren in the photography scene. Music between picture scene and Judith and Frank’s scene needs to fade out more. Dance music needs to be lower when people are singing. What happened when music when Frank and Australian died.
Singing	Start together and commit.
