First of all, CONGRATULATIONS! Y’all did it!
You got out there in front of an audience and put it all together. Singing, dancing, character
work, staging, props, entrances, exits, quick changes, nervous butterflies and all!

Second of all, you have a beautiful story to tell, not because the story is that amazing,
but because you are. You have invested so much time, energy, effort in the production.
You are supported by so many wonderful people who have created an amazing set,
costumes, programs, props, sound design, lights,...the list goes on and on.

Take every advantage of this. Every moment on stage and off should be spent
doing your part to tell the story to the audience.
(Even if that means sitting on a chair quietly in the green room.)

Third of all- SLEEP, DRINK YOUR OJ & WASH YOUR HANDS. Stay healthy.
Fourth of all, volume, volume, volume! Nobody is too loud.
Fifth of all, individual notes-
Evlana- "But behind..." Great!
Beast- You have a "ROAR!!" in this scene. Put it in. The Beast is furious!!
All- Opening song, Belle, get into position quickly and professionally. Exit in character.
Chip- It’s really important that you bring the mirror into the Beauty and the Beast scene.
Amy and Sophia- when you enter with the lantern in the battle, don’t get so
close to center, stay farther left.
close to center, stay farther left.
Narrators- LOUDER! Draw the audience into the story. Always stand stage right or left
VERY close to the little brown, built in, stool type thing by the downstage stairs.
So close that you can touch it. Why? That’s where your mic is and that’s where your light is.

Hailey, Maddy and Natalie- after Mob Song (Kill the Beast) you need to cross down to those
narrator spots before you speak, otherwise you are silent and in the dark.
Mehreen- THIS IS A CHANGE, For scene #2, enter right, cross to the regular
narrator spot, then exit right.

Lefou- you can’t whistle while wearing a mic. :0( Humming works though. :0)
Techies- don’t change scenery until the stage goes dark. I appreciate your eagerness,
but don’t jump the gun.

Torch carriers- make sure that Elise turns your torches on and off

The audience is the most revered member of the theater. They are our guests, our evaluators. They make the performance meaningful.
