Notes from Monday night

Notes for the Cast

• All in The Darlings: during "The Darlings," be tighter on the risers!
• Tink: "Are you sure, Wendy?" is your cue to bang at the window
• Wendy: don't put the acorn necklace on right away, set it down on the nightstand and be sure to retrieve it before you enter Neverland
• Hook: make sure your head is closest to Smee when you're on the sedan chair -- it was facing the wrong way!!
• Smee: you let Hook upstage you during your giggle... make sure you and Starkey move over so you can be seen for that bit!
• Skylights: awesome job during Rich Damp Cake!!
• All in Rich Damp Cake: REMEMBER THE P IN DAMP!!!
• All in Mermaids' Lagoon scene: pick up the pace
• Peter: take your sword with you after Mermaids' Lagoon
• Indian dancers: be more careful with Tiger Lily at the beginning of Braves... you're getting careless and when you pick her up and bring her back down it looks sloppy and she might fall
• All in Braves to War: you look so fierce and angry and scary at the end, it's awesome! Keep that energy going the WHOLE time!! This is WAR!!!
• Tiger Lily: don't forget your tom-tom for the capture scene
• Hook: after the capture scene, start saying your line as you walk down the steps ("Medicine...")
• Cecco & Calico Jack: awesome job with your lines! Make sure, since you don't have microphones, to project your voices! Otherwise, you sounds great!

Notes for Stage Crew

• With the exception of during scene changes, you CANNOT be seen. For every person you can see in the audience when you are peeking from behind the curtains, 5 people can see you. There is absolutely NO watching the show from backstage.
• Wendy's acorn necklace: She will not be putting it on right away, but instead will be setting it down on the nightstand. Make sure someone from SR retrieves it and keeps it SR so Wendy can slip it over her head before she enters for the Wendy bird scene
• Rich Damp Cake: I want the passing of the cakes to be more obvious. This is the only time I WANT to see more of you. Make sure your full arm is in view as you pass the cakes.

Notes for Sound

• Theresa: play music for the window change (#33) after Emma crosses back to center after saying the line, "We need soap!"
• Make sure Hook's mic is on after the scene change after Come Away is complete... we need to hear him sing his "yo ho!"
• The last scene: Michael, John, and Wendy need to have their mics up as they are entering through the window. They could not be heard.

For everyone: it is absolutely CRUCIAL that you are ALL quiet backstage and that you LISTEN to the parents. We must work TOGETHER for this show to be a success!!

** Starting tonight, parents will be carrying around a tally sheet of your names. You will receive a strike for being repeatedly told to quiet down, or if you are inconsiderate to any of our backstage parents. If you get three strikes, you will not be permitted to attend the cast party. We will go over this tonight.
