Notes 10/19

Notes:

ALL ACTORS: PLEASE REMOVE ALL JEWELRY AND ITEMS OF VALUE BEFORE YOU GO ONSTAGE!!!!!

Or alternatively, just give them to me and I’ll keep them - Ben

Midas:

• Conner: we need to hear “God of wine.”
• Ben notes that this is not actually a line but whatever just commit to it at this point
• Kris: make sure Savita is directly in gold light.

Alcyone and Ceyx:

• Artesia: Don’t get ready to run offstage before the henchmen get to you.
• Katherine: Project and articulate “and then turned again to her”.

Erysichthon:

• Gents: Song is getting better. Please try to work on it on your own time
• Bowen and Charlotte: Make the “Making her young again” section a bit faster.

Orpheus and Eurydice:

• Jared: Don’t start so close to Dov.
• Ryan: do not play with your veil on stage.
• Why is fabric basket on steps while Dov, Ryan, and Connor are walking.
• Dov, Ryan and Connor: Good work with timing.
• Ben also credits Lindsay for letting them get into position before the final narration

Pomona and Vertumnus:

• Bowen and Katherine: is there any way you can make putting on the dress faster?
• (Ben’s note) I love all the narrator/Vertumnus interaction

Phaeton:

• Bilal: remember lines
• (Ben’s note) Bilal: Project “Let me grant you a favor” a bit more so Michael can hear it. You’ve got most of them loud enough it's just this one that gets missed sometimes.

Eros and Psyche:

• Carelle: Make sure not to rush lines.

Baucis and Philemon:

• All actors: good job picking up cues.
• (Ben thinks the narrators could still have a tad smaller gap between them. You don’t have to wait for the other person to finish speaking before you start entering)
• Dov and Ryan: remember to keep moving forward until you say Farewell.

All actors: Curtain can be a little faster. (Ben thinks you should remember how fast you ran in 12-6-4 and do that)

All actors: please be quiet while in the halls.
