First Dress

First, I must express my dissappointment with the cast. There were far too many props and costume pieces lying around back stage. I understand you may not have known exactly where these are stored, but you all know better than to leave things lying around. If you misplace a costume piece that gets lost or damaged, you will be billed for it. As a frame of reference, a coat from UVA costs $250 to replace and the dresses run from $400 - $500.
You know where to hang your costumes. Bring props to Mary, Danny, Zach, or Reyn (they'll be here soon).

Tomorrow's Schedule:

3:00 - 3:20 => Javert's Suicide
3:20 - 4:00 => Master of the House
4:00 - 4:30 => End of the Day
4:30 - 5:00 => Individual work with Connor, Amy, and Brad

  • EVERYONE - Feel free to move around stage a little more when you are in the background of scenes. I will let you know if it's too much. Feel free to experiment, just be careful not to run into anyone or do anything too distracting. I recommend walking somewhere with a task in mind. I do not recommend trying to do something you think is funny.
  • ASHBURN - I found the video camera lying in the audience. If I find it again, you will not be aloud to use it anymore.
  • ALLIE - You left your script here. We'll discuss that with the rest of the cast tomorrow afternoon
  • CONNOR - Give the silver platter to Valjean when you dismiss him
  • ALLIE - You are going to close the cyc during the PROLOGUE, see me for specifics
  • EVERYONE - Stop looking at the pianist when you are on stage. That's a bad habit to get into
  • YISEON - Bring on a bottle of wine during END OF THE DAY and drink from that. Also, beg for things as people walk by.
  • TAYLOR - Get your entrance right at THE DOCKS
  • LOGAN - I want you seated, writing in a ledger, counting money, etc. during MASTER OF THE HOUSE
  • CONNOR, TYLER, HOLLY - There were several times where you need to calm your feet. Be concious of this. If you dance around in place tomorrow, I will yell, "Happy Feet" at you.
  • CONNOR, KLEIN- Don't worry about the other two crates during THE BEGGARS just get on stage and stand with LOGAN
  • ESTEP - When you look at Marius' books, don't look at the outside cover upside down, just flip through, looking carefully at the words. I'm sorry if I demonstrated it the way you have been looking at the books, but Eponine is illiterate, not from outer space
  • RACHEL, KLEIN, CONNOR - When you enter during ATTACK ON THE RUE PLUMET, there are no mics picking you up. Don't worry about singing, just shout your lines.
  • STUDENTS - THE NIGHT was terrible. You can all be louder. Sacrifice sounding pretty for volume
  • YISEON - When you bring out the wedding table, make sure to have the jewelry on top. There will also be a cake when we get one.
  • EVERYONE - I have posters to hang. Come by and get them from me tomorrow.
