Sound:

The sound cues that were missing from yesterday’s run were re-added. Some of the scene change music was also changes because Kat didn’t like that all of the scene change music was the same.

Props:

The cast did not use the glass of milk today because they did not take time before the house opened to preset. They will be reminded to check presets tomorrow immediately after fight call ends.

Lights:

Barb worked from the booth for the first time today.

Call Began: 6:00

Ended: 9:51

General:

Before today’s run, the cast did a bonding warm up with Kat and Emma.

Today was our preview performance for the Arts Res college. We began the run at 7:10, and finished around 8:50.

Kat gave notes after the run to the cast. We finished notes at 9:49

Sound:

Emma ran sound in the booth today. The new sound cues that Allen added at yesterday’s rehearsal (the “ah” in scene 14, the bows music, post-show music, and transition music between scenes 1 and 2). So, those cues were not used for today’s performance

Set:

When the cast brought the bed on for scene 15, they put it on with the opening to the sheets on the wrong side. During the scene change, Sydney ran onstage to fix it. The cast received this note, and will fix this scene change for tomorrow

Props:

Jon squished the tomato on Jillian in the prologue today. We needed to poke some holes in the tomato first in order to have it be squishy enough. However, hutch said that he could not see the smush, so Jon is going to show the tomato to the audience more.

Makeup/Hair:

Molly tried to use age makeup for the first time today. Some of it wiped off throughout the run, so we are going to try to use setting spray tomorrow.

Lights:

Emma could not see when the actors were in place for scene 1, so Meghan changed this black-out to a blue-out instead.

General:

Fight and Intimacy call

We did fight and intimacy for all of the characters except for cam, Andrea, and Sami because they were not here at this time. We did an actual kiss instead of a high five for all of the intimacy scenes. All of the scenes were run once, except for the grandma and Wallace punch in scene 14 (which was run 3 times).

Warms up and presets:

Kat ran warm ups with the cast. They stretched, did tongue twisters, etc. After this, all of the actors were given time to check all of their presets and prepare for the show.

 

Run through (timing: 1 hour 3 minutes)

The scene changes went smoothly (even though we were missing 3 actors). The actors took some of their prep time before the run to plan who would fill in for the missing actors during scene changes.  

Kat gave notes to the cast and Emma

When Kat finished her notes, we ran the 3 psychiatrist scenes with Sami (because she came to rehearsal as soon as she finished at temple).

Sound:

Emma ran sound from her computer in the booth today. There were no issues. After the run, Allen added to sound cues (a start and a fade) for the scene change between scenes 1 and 2 as well as an angelic sound in scene 14. Before the run, he also added a sound cue for a punch in scene 14

Props:

Jon did not smush the tomato on Jillian again today (we are doing that tomorrow for the first time). All other props were used as was intended

Costumes:

The cast used costumes in the run through again today. Molly did not have nude tights (Sydney said that molly could borrow hers for tomorrow).

Makeup/Hair:

The cast did makeup and hair for the run again today. There were no issues. (Molly has still not done age-makeup yet)

Lights:

Barb operated lights again today with Emma calling cues. Meghan fixed some cues before the run today. She made the blue-out before scene 11 slightly brighter (since Wallace is still acting during this time). She also made the lights cover more of stage left during scene 11 (since Wallace paces over to that area while he is talking on the phone).

Call Began: 6:00

(For the intimacy call, everyone waited in the lobby instead of watching in the room for the privacy of the actors)

Warm Ups

The cast did shakeouts, stretches, walks around the space, tongue twisters and sirens with Kat.

Run Through

We did a full run through. Cam was missing for today’s run, so Kat read her lines, and the cast needed to fill in for her during scene changes. There were no major problems. Emma’s phone died during the run (so we do not have an accurate time for this run-through. However, the run itself did not take the entire 7:00- 8:20 time block – part of that was used for booth set up: headsets, blue lights, etc.)

Sound:

Meghan ran sound today (with Emma calling cues). Tomorrow Allen is going to show Emma how to operate the sound cues from her computer. Today was the first time that we ran sound cues over the Tustin system.

Set:

We still need a pillow for Wallace’s bed.

Props:

Jon did not smush the tomato on Jillian yet (we are waiting until tomorrow).

The picture of mother was not used in scene 10 and the sandwich was not used in scene 4 (because the cast didn’t put those props on during scene changes). The actors continued with the scene- working around the missing props.

Costumes:

The cast used costumes again for the run again today. Caroline was wearing shoes that Kat didn’t like (she said she is bringing in different ones tomorrow). Sydney needs to use a safety pin for her shorts (they are slightly too big for her).

Makeup/Hair:

The cast did hair and makeup for the run through again today. They were able to get ready for the run through in about 30 minutes

Lights:

Barb ran lighting again today. Emma called cues from the booth for the first time today. There were no big issues
