March 17

Everyone	work on diction – bigger mouths Can the people on right stage bring all the water devices used throughout the show and put them by the washing machine at the end of the show?  Pitchers, buckets, etc. Scene – save some for me. Town does not enter CS.  They are across the back. The last scene the town is on stage is the hand prints on the door.  During this scene – those on the right side of the door – move URS to be on that side of the stage.  Those on the left side – exit left.  This may mean that others move Moises and Belen’s house. We will rehearse this. Stay in character Don’t say lines upstage. Work on emotion in lines. STEP ON LINES Don’t hit Breck. Find more emotion in lines.  Latin people are bigger than life. On stage, that should be bigger. DO NOT ANTICIPATE LINES.  Ask Kenna which actor did this.
Lights on stage	Light down more on Ramzi scene Blue lights fade up on Belen as the ghost person.
Lights booth	Amber first Monica scene.
Music	electricity
Town	During the Ramzi scene – your eyeballs are moving all over the place.  Keep them still or down. Women with scarves on head during crossing scene. Dancing – bigger and more enthusiastic.  Lines in sync with music. STEP ON LINES
Lights - both	Time lights at the beginning of the show. They must both begin at the same time – count off -1,2,3
Alamar	Diction and louder – do you think it’s funny Instructions – your responsibility Of daily battle – yearning happy
Eugenio	Don’t speak behind someone – you said except Moises behind Kate. What the war cost Moises – speak to the town. Navel line bigger about anyone would give their soul to heal.  THIS IS YOUR BREAKING POINT Thank goodness we have Moises – I am the light Bigger – as I lay my hand on the latch. Scared, embarrassed, disillusioned. Look at lines boils and shriveling and fizzling. Knocking scene – you are blocking Luis – Kenna was sitting where the right stage judge would be sitting.  It may not be fixable.
Monica and Luis	Enjoy each other more.  Laugh more – giggle more so that it is a stark contrast to the rest of the scenes. Do not throw the chair. Work on sexiness
Eugenio and Moises	Friendship was flat
Luis	Papers and tape are your responsibility HEAD UP – entitled Speak more to CS. Chismosa line was good. HEAD UP Do not throw the chair. Head up San Isidro?  More broken in this scene. You left us no choice – to the audience – all your lines are mainly profile here – so fix it.  Also, don’t slap so much.  It weakens your character. More downstage center – head up – I need your help.
Town and Belen	Work on this scene Monday – carve a path so that Belen can hold up hands bouncing from one to another – she doesn’t need to touch Eugenio.
Hannah	La plaza line - diction
Kate	Angry at the soldados – hand in a striking gesture Don’t put water back in the buckets.
Belen	Veil? Rehearse this scene tomorrow. Enter on sell for scrap. It’s been years – happy – you’ve forgotten everything that has happened. As a ghost, you are not confident enough.  You are not sad.  Remember your character is feisty. You are not sad
Stephen	Diction on exhausts me to watch. Don’t back up in the back.
Eli	People noises as Belen is shocked – mixed elation and curiosity when she says why – then DEVASTATED as they take her away – BIGGER ON WHY – a guttural cry. Head up – make him ask me. Watch higher register.  Be busy washing when Luis is yelling Don’t stoop over Luis when begging.
Monica	More upset about your daughter.   When you come home the last time, can you do stage business – packing- taking clothing off the line as  you are speaking to Luis – you are too upset to deal with him then crazy snot crying about being a dutiful soldier’s wife… Watch losing accent
Breck	Good job = hand on priest
Moises & Belen	Build relationship
