February 20

Everyone	Sell fertilizer – everyone is supposed to sell 8 bags or pay $56.  Now we have to buy a new light board. Everyone made that commitment. Watch lines Take casting call sign down after first mechanicals scene Champagne bottle wrong period Quiet backstage – NO CREW BACKSTAGE Why was the director’s chair out during the entire play? We need to see ELI put the ears on Bottom.  THIS MUST BE MAGICAL.  I want the drummer by Bottom & maybe a light. WE HAVE TO SEE THIS. Quit dropping character Don’t forget that the swamp is gross and filled with tons of bugs and mosquitos Strange things that are scary – the lovers never showed a difference except for stepping on the bug. Freeze precisely Freeze when Eli claps Rework last scene. Fat Tuesday – what do you want to eat for lunch. I’m asking the office to play Cajun – 20’s music during each passing period – Alee – can you do this?
Colin	Consonants at the beginning To abjure forever – no pause Growling at beginning of forest scene Shoes Do not laugh after this is thy negligence Stay in character Get in Pucks face when you say Lysander twice Celebration at the end.
Kaytlyn	Take your glasses off when you get mad.
Sticks	Hannah was blocked by sticks
Hannah	Consonants talking about Lysander Voice is too pitchy in swamp.
Carter	Consonants when he turns – ask Emma When you say unfold – you are telling Helena it is a secret.
Eliana	Watch your hat casting a shadow Lion scene – consonants Dance coming in Flowers in urns Go back to the way you did the lion before.  It was way too slow tonight. Think of being a stupid Chihuahua
Fairies	Always react Don’t be distracting in the background of any scene.
Drums	Were not consistent Be careful not to be louder than actors.
Alee	Show starts with sound and ends with sound
Eli and fairies	Distracting when Colin and Alee first meet NO CARDS
Kate A	Hum louder and keep humming until there is dialogue. Liked singing - louder
Mechanicals  & fairies	Swamp scene – better. Move more downstage.  Fairies be ever present but not distracting reblock second scene Look at Iowa’s mechanicals People noises
Eli	Don’t be distracting with mechanicals at the beginning Auditor means spectator Sad – say the intent behind the word Mad – say the intent behind the word. When bottom is singing, can you dance behind him?
Clay and Breck	React to Hannah (drums were needed)
Clayton	DO NOT TAKE THE WIG OFF
Ramzi	Red material? Look at Iowa university’s Bottom. On all fours at one point Don’t look at eli when he trips you.
Breck	That hobgoblin – not who
Alee	More enthralled with bottom
Tre	Shake more than your head when the drum beats. Act more manly when protecting Helena.  Shoulders back head up React when Eli touches you when you’re looking for Demetrius.
