THIS WEEK!

This next Thursday we will "drop scripts" for both of Act 1 and Act 2. That means that the scripts will no longer be allowed on stage when ever we run Act 1 or Act 2. SO keep learning and practicing your lines!! Become very familiar with your cues--that means the lines that come just before your speaking part. (This includes Act 2 Scene 2 which we are blocking on Monday We will be letting you go through Act 1 and Act 2 with minimum interruptions so that we can get the flow moving nice and smooth. I know it can be a lot of lines for some of you, but I KNOW you can do it!! Everyone has been doing such a GREAT job! I hope everyone has been having as much fun as I have been having.

How are your costumes coming?

Girls: check your closets (and your sister's closets...with permission of course..lol..) or even ask your girl friends if they have a nice full swishy skirt and blouse. Do you need more pictures to help you with your costumes?

Here are a few more ideas to help you out.

If you have a more specialty costume, we are more than happy to help you out. Let us know what you need help with. Or is there are certain pieces that you are having trouble finding, let us know so that we can ask around. Feel free to comment on the blog what you are having trouble with.

For shoes... if you are still looking for shoes I have a suggestion. At walmart they sell shoe liners in the nylon section. They slip on like a slipper and look like a shoe from a distance. They come in all colors and patterns, but if you were to get a black pair they would work for your costume. They are about $3 a pair. When selecting your shoes, remember no heels and you want shoes that you don't feel restriced in. You want to be able to walk freely without worrying about stumbling in your shoes. As soon as you have found your shoes for the play, start wearing them at practice. You will need to practice walking in them on the stage--we don't want to hear your footsteps on the stage..very distracting.

Guys: How is it coming?? Dromios and Antipholuses we are having your pants, vest and sash made so that we can have you look as exact as possible. You, however will need to get your shirt and shoes. Remember, all guys need black shoes AND socks. Only have a shirt with a pocket if you have a vest to cover up the pocket. If you want a scarf for your head, that is fine!--Much less hairspray involved that way..lol.. Think pirate!! AAArrhhh!!

We are looking for a few props to help with the play and costumes. Please ask your parents if you able to help us out with any of these things. We will be posting other items in the near future.
A steamer trunk--similar to a large treasure chest.
A petticoat--a poofy skirt liner ...REALLY poofy.
Black graduation gown

Also if you have extra costume pieces that you would be willing to share with the others, please let us know!!

I was suppose to take pictures of class last thursday to post, but alas, I was only took one..lol..I was a little distracted. So here are some random pictures from the past.








































































And finally, here is a picture of me when I was 17(?) and in the play Hello Dolly. (sadly the only picture I have) I caused my director some extreme stress two weeks before opening night. On Thursday, remind me to tell you what happen.
