I'm having computer issues today. I haven't been able to watch all of Act 1, but I will post what I can for now.
You’re probably noticing that I’m having a number of you
step back after I had originally had you step forward. After a good discussion, Mrs. Kluge has
convinced me that it really is awkward to have you placed too forward in
certain scenes.
Scene 1: Taylor
Sisters – take 2 steps back when addressing hostesses and impressing upon them
the importance of their roles. Hostesses
– make sure your reactions show that you are impressed with your role!
Scene 2: Don’t Say No
has an overall nice look. Tiny Tappers –
we’re going to try having you do this barefoot.
We need to make sure that you’re tap shoes are waiting for you back at
your seat and you’re able to get them back on in time for Scene 6. (Will need a mom sitting with them)
Scene 3: Gladys the
Riveter, etc. – I love it every time I
see you guys make your pose
Scene 4: Just a
general note – I really appreciate how you all have taken it upon yourselves to
get in your USO positions during the street scenes
Scene 5/6: Taylor
Sisters – Step back more so you’re addressing your USO people better
Michael: Great
delivery and inflections on your lines!
But, we lost some of them because you were behind the hostesses. Let’s have you say all of your lines down
stage in front of the hostesses.
Donald: You can step
forward a little more when you say ‘Get lost!’
(Thank you, Mrs. Conto, for making the badge holders!!)
Female agents – I guess I had never focused on this before,
but I really like your background acting before the Kilroy song!
General note: Just a
reminder that if you find someone blocking you, remember to step out of it.
Hypnotism scene – I know I had wanted the chairs moved
forward, but we need to move them back about 3 feet so it’s among your USO
audience more. We also need more
reaction from the hostesses when Kilroy becomes a chicken. Good reaction fellas, Mrs. King and Ruth.
Scene 15: Sorry, but
we’re going to do some more rearranging here.
(Please see Mrs. Green’s note at the video). Taylor Sisters – we’re going to have you sit
in the 3 chairs left front. Interact
more as you’re watching the song.
James, Macy & Marie – When you enter, go to the right
front table area – There might only be one chair available. If there is, James can sit in it, and Macy
& Marie can be on either side of him.
Kilroy and your group – move a little over to the left.
Brendan – I can’t remember where we had placed you and your
group – is it over by the radio booth?
(We could use people there if it isn’t)
General note on the curtain – we need to make sure not to
trap anyone with the curtain. J

Is there an end in sight? The comments keep multiplying! *Wink, wink*.
Hmmm...if I think *really* hard, I could probably come up with another post, Angela. You're lucky that I'm too tired to think hard. ; )
Char, you read my mind about no tap shoes for Don't Say No. I did the fist-pump thing with a "Yesssssss!"
(I asked Lydia why she was walking so loudly there, and she said she had to take really big steps to make it to the middle in time. So, there was a reason behind it. No shoes will solve that perfectly.)

Ok!
I like getting trapped by the curtain.....
Whew, got through all the notes! Thank you do much, directors!
Well, Angela, I actually do have a few other things I should be posting about, plus there's notes for the Act 2 video, but I won't be getting those posted. And we'll be starting a whole new round tomorrow! ;)
