Parent performance November 17

Critiques for November 17, 2013

EVERYONE	Each actor must be individual and must be “bigger than life.” Gobstopper scene was supposed to be Center stage. Watch straight lines Boat was not swaying. Make sure that the stage is balanced. No pregnant pauses Ending didn’t work. Too much stomping during squirrel scene. BIGGER REACTIONS We are adding a factory scene at the end.
Oompa Loompas	Dance differently Bradleigh’s and Reagan’s trees look the same. Stage business needs to be in slo mo Grab the walnuts if they roll away. Smile while singing. Benches should slam together – elevator Elevator should be center stage. Stay out of the light – during elevator scene Sign holders stop moving. Chocolate room sign 1st dance – 2 on each side. Boat oar cannot touch floor – too loud. When OL’s move with signs going left to right, can they swim back with goggles going right to left? Change the TV scene in character Cabbage prop needs to be out sooner MOVE IN CHARACTER
Music	Too soon during elevator scene
Reagan	Giggle as you feed Riley Be in your costume. When frantic – cross to pipes, then come back
Kadyn	Slow down Mighty strange – wait until music stops.
Sunny	Start first line sooner
Ashlynn	Exaggerate “had to have”
Bradleigh	Great flip
Blake	Bigger and slower on mmm.  You do not find the ticket until the music changes. Don’t block your face with gestures Pull your hat back. Gee differently each time. Don’t hand Jonah 50cents because you already spent it. Candy three times is what you tell Jonah, but you do it twice.
Jonah	Pull hat back Don’t block your face with gestures. Be consistently old throughout the play.
Drew and Ashlynn	Move a bench to sit on.  Drew cannot sit on the floor.
Blake and Jonah	Not your fault, but the part with you guys drags.   I think it is the dialogue.  I will look at it. You need to be happy.
Riley	Walk like a fat person.  Why did you say um yeah?
Evan	Great expressions, but make them bigger
Stage managers	Pylon covers need to face the audience more Lantern was off Make sure everyone is in full costume - Reagan
Drew	Be bigger when the door slams
Maky	Take more pics
Kadyn	Face the audience while you cartwheel in.
To do	Change cue 3 Music before or after T V scene – can’t remember , but there was a pregnant pause
