| General It was a long day but very much was accomplished! Great sitz (for crew and music), lots of props and set pieces got worked on, and the run was not bad at all. We still have some technical difficulties to work out, but all solvable. Our show is starting to come together. We’ll implement costumes tomorrow. I’d like to thank everyone, for their can do attitudes, graciousness and focus. Crew, you are doing great, actors, you are rolling well with the changes, Musicans, you sound lovely. I’d like to make a special Shout out to Sherman who was my partner in crime today, a lot of what was accomplished set and props wise today would not have been possible without his help. Thanks also to my crew for helping with tagging and fixes. I couldn’t have done it without you. AND RICH, thank you for the subtitles, you have no idea how much that helped having them today, and I know what an effort it was for you to do it so thank you very much! Happy Mother’s day! I hope that you who are mothers get some time to spend with your families, and that all of you get to spend some time with your own mothers. |

| Actors Are great Nikki, Melita, and Lariena, please get me your Ramona receipts. Thanks. The second dressing room is a no hairspray zone, the ladies bathroom also. Feel free to use in the men’s room and the first bathroom thank you. Please be mindful of your trash day’s. and please don’t keep food or beverages in the dressing rooms, and throw away food and don’t keep in green room, we have a big door across from a dumpster/restaurant and I have seen rodentia in the building. (big assed rodentia, seriously, it’s tail was HUGE.) |
| Set Updated punch list attached. For reals, unless office won’t let me again. I’m concerned how the sound cabling may effect build of the city scape. Also, we’ve got band hanging off the platform, need to discuss/fix? |
| Props all champagne glasses removable from tray some removable h’or devers hor’devours, crap, finger foods on another Pocketwatch broke (easily fixed I believe) I printed out three newspaper covers. I believe we’ll need three white slavery papers. Need a cut out article, or twelve for Miss Dorothy’s purse. (the big shot bachelor or whatever article) Spray guns need to be a little varied, not just silver maybe some black lines or something or a lable of some sort?. Can we pre cut the train tickets for sara to rip up, she’s havin a hard time cuz they are cardstock. Syringe is missing, do we have a second? Can the jar lid, get ungunked, the spray paint made it hard to open, also, can we get a lable, the handwriting while nice handwriting, looks like….er handwriting…. |
| Paint I like the floor idea’s, two is my favorite. |
| Sounds/Lights/Special FX Other than being really hot, the sound was quite good for a first run. Do we need to talk baffling? Ron, I have a Honey do list for you at bottom of report. I will be in at 2:00 unless I get jittery if you’d like to come then, OR come at will, but if you could get the items below done TOMORROW, it would be GREATLY appreciated. SAM, can we mic more gentlemen in the opening number? Steve W, Will, Keith, Sam and James? STUART, we’re going to need some blue outs and black outs. Notably, “gimme gimme, with some blue after so she can not die, and the scene with Miss Dorothy in the laundry cart down right, also, for some scenes can there be less light upstage so that we don’t focus on our ugly walls (side walls barb, your painting is lovely) Is anything sound wise run from cue lab? Should we perhaps move the mac into the booth? Could we move cue lab into the booth? |
| Costumes Are going to be awesome, can’t wait to see y’all! |
| Facility |
| Director Could the people in line up step down two steps? That would help the crew out when doing the jail cells IMMENSLY! |
| Choreography Lady, you rock my socks! |
| Music Mutz, Dave Lee, and who is the third? Need band members emails please. |

| Crew The scene changes blew me away until the café society, then they kind of went urk. But we will fix. (except Emma who got the coffee mug and she was just a blond blur) Purposeful. That is how we walk on and off, brisk to the point and off. And please careful of the talking backstage, this show has very little to muffle the sound. I think the hinge on the ledges helped so much that whatever is on front is just décor, let’s table that and just hinge in the middle. That will take less time, and Cody, feel free to slink off and not stay under the ledge. I am just thrilled with all of you, you are amazing, and I’m so proud of you and the great work you are doing. Need to glow the spikes different glow for different scenes, can put one line two three and on, or dots, or slashes, but I say glow them all differently, right it down, and if some don’t need it, you’ve already done it and don’t find out the hard way. Need to spike the laundry carts. And the stenog desks act one. Jesee will you help? |
