Rehearsal Report

Date: 2/11/2011
Start Time: 6:30
Break: 8:15 – 8:25
End: 9:00

Summary:
-With the absences, we walked through the scenes and reviewed blocking, pages 1-28 with those who attended in detailed fashion.

Director/Playwright:
-All off on Monday!

Props:
-For the Doc’s short scene, we added a stethoscope to the prop scene, and we have since decided to do away with it.

-Originally it was determined to have 3 chairs on each side for the company while they are not in scene. We would like to make that 4 per side, making that a total of 9 chairs including Aisa’s rolling chair in her workspace. And remember, 2 of the chairs that will be moved to the center platform on multiple occasions must be as close to a 90-degree angle as possible to hold the plywood.

-Does the dressmaker’s form roll? We are under the impression that it is indeed on wheels.

-Add a screwdriver to the props list.

Costume:
-For the father (Michael Regnier), he will need a robe with two ample pockets to fit a beer can and a newspaper in each. Also for Michael, his Doctor’s coat should also have two pockets for his head mirror and videocassette.

-Add a hat for Father character and Guard character and Frau Holda character. Brian is not concerned about what kind of hats, details to follow…

Set:
-The 3 tables needed at Aisa’s workspace have to be very small. We’ll place the typewriter table diagonally USL. Ideally, the typewriter and dollhouse tables will be small enough to just fit the objects. The sewing machine table can be slightly larger to accommodate small sewing props.

Misc:
-Changed Sunday’s meeting time from noon to 1pm. Debbie will come in first, then Michael and Lynna will follow at 2pm. Debbie will work all monologues, then the three will work any scenes that concern them all.

Sunday, Feb 13th 1 pm
Review Debbie, Michael, and Lynna’s scenes only. Jim, Sharmon, and Laura will be absent. John is excused.

Rehearsal Report

Date: 2/10/2011
Start Time: 6:30
Break: 8:10 – 8:20
End: 9:35

Summary:
-Reviewed pages 1-20
-Blocked pages 20-28

Director/Playwright:
-Brian informed company of upcoming conflicts in schedule including some absences.

-Tom is available during production to do technical work if necessary concerning the video feeds. But I’m sure we all want him to really watch his own show.

Props:
-We now have 3 tripods and 3 cameras in place, video mixer, and 1 television set for rehearsals. All have been left in the space in places for tomorrow’s call.

-We will need an old wood chair with casters for Aisa to roll in her work area from dollhouse to dressmaker’s form to typewriter, etc. Mike Regnier and Tom Hayes both have access to one, just note that it will be added.

-Will we have access to mannequin arms for the scene where the princess gets her arms chopped off behind the screen?

Costume:
-When Lynna plays the armless princess, she will need a long-sleeved shirt to show her sleeves dangling unfilled to the audience as Harry Collins (Jim) grabs her sleeve (arm) and leads her to her seat upstage left.

Sound:
-Brian would like some sounds to go along with certain scenes. I’m not sure how we could cue this up, but I’ll get a list of what we need soon. Some things would be; the sounds of an orchestra warming up to begin the show, and multiple songs throughout scene changes.

Misc:
-Jarod filled in playing the parts of Harry Collins, Talk Show Host, Queen, and Mother.
