Worked Today:

Start: 7:20PM

Break:

End: 9:25PM


Notes:

Cast in Attendance: Shelby, Jake, Erik, Kristin, Caitlin, Ben, Nikki 

Conflict: Art, Clint

 

Sets:

-Beginning of Act1/Roxanne entrance from the carriage..Ron is in process of building, it is very heavy and will take 3-4 crew people to move. 

-Barb to paint the carriage on Mon. March 17: 17th century France look

-Need a brace underneath the sofa to hold in place (using sofa not chaise lounge)

-Vanity and Mirror: done! 

-Black curtain SL to cover vanity mirror

-2x3 screens on SL & SR to cover set/set pieces for scene changes

-Barb is sketching Cryano and Private Lives backdrops: chose inspirational images to use, will be on Batten 1

-Nail the table down that’s between the two doors 


Costumes:

-A CREW member will be dressed as Cyrano, but only see their back from the orchestra pit (pg.104)

-All women except Ethel will be wearing garters and nylons

-All women should have red lips and red nails

-Men should have no facial hair 

-The Cyrano pants that rip twice each night: Tamar will provide three pairs, two for ripping (velcro) and one for wearing.

-Outstanding: Nikki, Clint (need to find General jacket), Richard (1 suit), Paul (tux and street clothes), Howard (1 outfit that is not a suit, but dressy enough to impress), George (street clothes?) 

-Charlotte needs another robe, the cream one we tried last night took to long to tie

-Charlotte’s pleated white undergarment is perfect and so is her Roxanne gown 

-George/Cyrano: There is a gold brocade jacket and several shirts by rehearsal shelves

Lights:

-Beginning of Act1 when Roxanne (Charlotte Hay) steps down from the coach/door, ME would like a lot of fog and the door to be darkly lit. 

-Don’t need stair lights on steps leading up to stage

Sound/Music:

-telephone rings will be coming from Stacy backstage, NOT a sound cue 

-Need a crash sound for when George falls back into orchestra pit (pg.104)

Props:

-ETA on Chalkboard? which will be placed on the “ dark brown” section by stairs: Tamar to paint and has chalk for us

-Ironing board will be placed SR of stairs (attached/fold down): can we get this for Monday 17th rehearsal?

-Makeup props for vanity will be placed in two-tier basket 

-Roz WON’T wear an engagement ring

- 2 copies of Vanity Fair: printed and on prop shelves 

-Instant tea available in prop room, can we have some for Mon. March 17?

-Letter that George writes to Roz: on prop shelf 

-Coffee burner is correct, Mary Ellen wants to think about the bronze pot..unsure about it. 

-What kind of coffee mugs/cups will we be using?

-Need a Mickey Rooney movie poster, unsure of which movie: Tamar and Mary Ellen to discuss further

-Cyrano noses: should be arriving on Friday March 14 

-Fake lamp that Howard shoots at, it doesn’t need to work 

-Jack Daniel bottles, need to decide which size bottles George carries 

Blocking:

-Need to work on coming in and out of closet with George, Paul and Howard 

-George will NOT fall into the pit, he will drop to his knees and do a stunt-man “shoulder roll” into the pit.

-Roz, make sure to place phone book on side table when finished with it 

-Paul and Roz: during make out scene on couch, when Paul says, “tell me later when you’re naked”…there needs to be more kissing/“convincing” to make Roz say “Okay”, it’s too fast right now (will discuss at next rehearsal)

-Re worked some blocking for Act 2, Michelle has them written down if you have questions

-George will not throw the phone at Paul, he will only drop the receiver 

-George will put gun in table drawer after he takes it from Howard 

-Charlotte’s exits and entrances on pg. 38, 41, 44: need to figure out, it’s not working quite yet. 

-George: when you give Ethel note (addressed to Roz) have a bottle of JD in your hand as well
