Monday's rehearsal - MUST COMMENT as well as after bi district

March 20, 2018 for rehearsal on the 19^th

Everyone	First song was a little fast.  In the first bombing scene, be stunned then run for cover.  Stay out until right before Chamberlain starts speaking. Offstage – everyone remember to SHHHHHHH Bricks are HEAVY – don’t kick them around. Tipperary needs to be louder and we need one more loud cryer/singer like Sheila. Freeze when German hits the ground. Good people noises during letter. We need to move bricks where soldier and Angie stands. Practice walking in character when crossing in the back.
Music & Fog	Bring music up more on first cue. Too loud in Tom and Mira’s scene. Last bombing was too loud.  Turn it down during Tom’s and Judith’s lines then backup. Fog when Kate comes out.
Angie	Try having your back to the bomb. LOVE you crying.
The Briggs	More people noises as the Briggs walk off in the beginning.  Mr. Briggs, vocalize something when you strike the Cricket bat. LOUDER and CONSONANTS – Mr. Briggs and Alister Hide cricket bat in second scene.  Make it evident.
Justice family	Where is the watch?
Frank	Look back over RIGHT shoulder in farewell scene. Great on I’ll take none of you. Fuse line was good. In first scenes, come behind Judith EXACTLY like you do in the end – I won’t even say goodbye.
Factory women	Traitor – big vocalization Sabotage – big vocalization.
Dead girl/Val	Make sure you step over the bricks Please keep from moving back and forth when your feet are planted.  They will kill us for that. Love both your girls!
Judith	Smell the shirt. Woman like this in our midst – as though someone else is saying this – maybe Joan has said this? I’ll work – hit consonants. Freeze when bar scene is going on.
Photographer and Bela	Get in the light.  Most photographers in those days crouched and did different levels.  I love your Bela character.  Be louder in your first scene as photographer.
Alister	Louder and cheat out in first scene. Second scene – cheat out more.
Gently family	Frank and Judith, we can’t see the kiss. Remember to freeze.Get your suitcase out when you come out first time.
Women	Remember to slow down at the end of the farewell scene.  Match Viv’s weirdness. Leg is GONE – drop shredded flags. NO SHRIEKING!!!!! Remember your ages
Tom Val’s brother	Don’t run so much.  We will work on that today. Cracker Barrel does not have planes.  You will have to act.   Look up at the beach.  Use your shovel as a plane at times and look up.  Quieter on the gray. Plane noises need to be louder and more.  Do the whistling that a spitfire does. Val…..VAL (SCREAM)  You are scared to death! Be weirder….. Look at past videos.  Rock as Tom
Sheila	Great job in factory scene. More vocals in factory scene. I’ll be gobsmacked = I AM AMAZED.
Joan	Tonight was the best you’ve done Joan. Guts for garters was great!
Soldier 2 & Angie	Walk up saying your first line – looking all around.  Give us a sec to process Judith’s scene before yours.
Brian Spender	As Spender, no pause between any words in this line –falling all around. All of your characters are great – love Brian the best.
