Everyone	DICTION STEP ON LINES Opening was SLOW – then the mechanicals came in and saved the play!  There must be energy from the get go. Give Theseus/Oberon the power he deserves. Freezes need to be cleaner. Need business with skeleton and cobweb. Thine own company – wrote it down and do not know why. Awake, my love to audience Need more magic Look over your lines Turn tree lights off when Bottom leaves the last time.
Puck	Beckons – I wrote don’t be silent with flower – don’t know why. If the flower falls, you pick it up and be subservient. Chicken move with lark When you say Demetrius and Lysander as Egeus – point to them. Faster on Louisiana man scene Work on changing moon.
Drum	When Eli has almanac in swamp
Theseus Oberon	DICTION Step on lines.  DO NOT PAUSE To abjure – step on Hannah’s line Do not avoid anyone.  Do not pick up anything that falls unless it is Titania’s or Hippolyta’s. DICTION New Orleans
