Cast and apprentices,
I was disappointed that some of you didn't follow through with what I had asked you to bring to practices.
Apprentices - have those boxes on Monday. And bring more than you think you will need.
Cast - you always need a pencil - so why not pack 2 in your folder. You need to write down all blocking. Do not trust your memory. In a pinch - borrow a pencil from the stage managers.
Speaking of memory - work on memorizing with pizazz - appropriate pauses, emphases, drawn out words. Take time to know what you are saying. Use the definitions that Megan has posted.
Remember the costume that you have tried on may not be the final one. Don't get too attached.
