Great rehearsal today. So much coming together at this point that I sometimes forget to tell all the crew members, actors and parent helpers how much I LOVE YOU ALL! We are doing a fantastic thing - - creating a musical. It is hard work, but because of all your hard work, we will have an awesome show and will share with our audiences a BEAUTIFUL story. We have some work to do, but let's have fun in the process. Bring those smiles on stage, pop those eyes, nail those moves with strong hands and arms, and sing out those songs. And find those characters and stay in character!!!! BE IN THE MOMENT! Oh--- and please stop talking. Don't upstage yourself by turning your back to the audience. FIND the Light! Have FUN! If lines or blocking does not go according to plan, just go with it, improvise, sell it! SELL IT!
Crew: This show is a demanding crew show with lots of set changes, lighting changes, prop placements and curtain cues. We will nail all of this down, but be present and be ready to be assigned many set pieces to moves, stage lights to control and overall control of the stage. We will work this on Friday Parents: Keep bringing it. We still need a small tool belt with a few interesting tools for Maurice, an old nasty blanket (queen size or bigger) for the Enchantress. We still need some help painting, making trees and painting dishes, as well as Maurice's invention. This set/prop making will happen on Friday and possible over the weekend. And we need help organizing all our Props. Prop-wise, we could use some fake food, more bread, fake apples, plastic dishes. I have grapes! I have two Dads helping with lights and crews. Thanks, David and Vince. I may need one or two more come Monday and thru-out Tech Week and the performances. Tomorrow: The lighting crew comes in to hang lights. We will still break down the wall and set the stage. We will mark where set pieces are going to be for the lighting dudes. We make practice a few scene changes on stage, too. Then we will move the flats to the back of the cafeteria for painting. We will need to fold all the cafeteria tables and line them up in the back for space. The Silly Girls will go to the gym to work on their song. Lefou and Gaston will work on their reprise (Leslie, can you assist them?). Belle and Beast will work on their dance with Ms. Leslie. Actors will try on their villager costumes for approval or to determine what we need. Actors will try on or wear their Enchanted Object costumes, We will talk with individuals about hair. We will run some scenes - - Tracey will run some trouble scenes in the gym. We will run the last scene after Home thru the Finale. We will stage the curtain call. I time permits, we will run the big company numbers (a number is the song with choregraphy, if you haven't figured that out by now) :) Busy Day!!! Very excited about our show, Mr. Todd
