End: 9:42pm

Notes:

Cast in Attendance: Full Cast

Conflict: X

 

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 oversee cutting out the coach door trim and no painting it until it actually gets used once or twice

-Need a brace underneath the sofa to hold in place

-Vanity and Mirror: done! 

-Black curtain SL to cover vanity mirror

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

-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: on prop shelf / 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

-Charlotte needs a watch: Kristin is bringing one in to show us 

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, it worked great 

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

-end of pg. 93 and pg. 104, need 1920s/1930s soft violin background music for set changes 

Props:

-Chalkboard: done! extra chalk in side table drawer 

-Makeup props for vanity will be placed in two-tier basket..need some more 

-Roz WON’T wear an engagement ring

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

-Jack Daniel bottles: will be placed in prop fridge every night to stay fresh and will be rinsed every couple of shows 

-On prop shelves: 2 copies of Vanity Fair, letter to Roz, program for Howard, Cryano noses 

-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

-Roz needs her own suitcase

-Need a liquid that looks like coffee or is cold coffee for pot at top of Act2: crew will set this up during intermission 

-Need: newspaper, needle and thread, masking/draping/pile of clothes to conceal George behind iron board, garment bag with a big bow on it 




Blocking:

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

-Charlotte’s exits and entrances on pg. 38, 41, 44: worked fine last night- do we still need to block this?

-Ethel: take bottle of JD after you pour it all into clear coffee pot, pick up the two scripts on the floor and the clothes by ironing board 

-George: do not fully take off your “street” pants until you and Paul are hidden in closet 

-George: have one leg in your Cyrano pants and no shoes on when you and Paul exit the closet finally in Act 2

hooking the board in place 

-We will not block pg.9-11 until we're in the theatre 

-Roz: sing “che sera sera”

-George: pause before line, “I find it rather comforting”

-Ethel: pause before line, “you’re right where you belong, in the pit”

-Howard: rub Eileen’s stomach at end of show when addressing the group

-George, Paul, Ethel, Roz: crowd in around Charlotte when she’s on the phone with Capra at end of show
