Rehearsal January 23

Everyone
Instead of everyone running off – stay a little.  Eliana sells flowers, Ramzi shows someone his painting, Clayton sells bread.

What about – lovers wake up and quickly discuss how they look, what they should do and exit. Bottom does his lines about waking up. Mechanicals get ready for the play.  Move lines 217(cut Lysander’s half asleep half waking)  , 218, 219 to right before Titania’s line 222.
Quiet backstage
Do not walk in front of the projector
Be prepared for cues
Watch curtains
Egeus, Demetrius, Lysander, Hermia, Titania
React when Theseus says society of men.  We need vocals.
We need vocals underscoring the speech by Theseus.
Theseus
Faster telling Egeus, etc to go with you.
Lysander
Faster on my love.
Oberon
Don’t do muscles – hands outspread
Fairy scene
Move more left stage so it is not right stage heavy
Helena
See video about the dog.  Slow down.
Louder – deeper voice
Theseus
What thou seeist… sooner
Hermia or Helena
Quicker entrance stay sweet Demetrius.
Fairies & Hermia
Need to see Hermia before fairies overcome her.
Mechanicals & music
Faster on entrance -
Theseus
Late on your line after mechanical scene
Demetrius
If stool is in front of the tree, sleep in front of the stool.
Riley
Fixation of a dream thunder
Bottom
Cut one night and one alack
Thisbe
Different voice.
Oberon, Theseus, Demetrius, Helena
Slow down and hit consonants.
Hermia
Louder & deeper
Puck
Line 103 In this world, all men dream WHO THEY ARE, but no one understands this.
Clay
Creepier when walking

Add frog to scene 6
Breck
Harmonica louder and play at other times


* Frog to the beat of Kate’s song
* When the couples awake w they’re correct pairs Helena and Hermia hug. Should Lysander and Demetrius shake hands?
* Last moon needs to change
Critiques-
* Sam- “Oh spite” maybe a little more exited? Take a moment to let Hermia and Lysander exit. Look more to the crowd instead of the ground. Be more scared of Hermia when you ask for them not to let her strike you
* Clayton- React to the part of Thysby.
* Colin- Deeper voice as Oberon.       Hit “I am invisible”
* Tre- Pause on mischief a little more. K Better than last time though. Know your cues.
* Alee- Also needs a different voice as Titania. Louder when in bed w Ramzi.
* Eli- Slow down on the sanitarium line. Memorize lines and cues
* Fix the moon in the back
* Hannah- enter sooner after “bid the do”. Louder
* Carter- know you’re cue
* Overall the first part of the play is fast and on point. The second half is slower but that will come w practice.
Positives-
* Music
* Freezes
* Sound overall was better
* Sticks
* Actors running scared of Ramzi
* Ramzi’s donkey
* Breck and the moon
* Kaitlyn and her reaction to ninus
* Last scene
Titania
Louder perchance
Demetrius & Helena
Arguing needs to be more realistic
Needs
Gold shirt Colin
Gold duct tape
Black duct tape
Poster with magnet* Gold on colins cape.
* Gold on capitols
* Spider web drops
Thunder louder
* Louder thunder
Fix moon slides
