1. Think on this →
The audience is the most revered member of the theater.
Without an audience there is no theater.
Every technique learned by the actor, every curtain, every flat on the stage, every careful analysis by the director, every coordinated scene, is for the enjoyment of the audience.
They are our guests, our evaluators, and the last spoke in the wheel which can then begin to roll. They make the performance meaningful.
~Viola Spolin
Q: What is our goal? A: To tell a story to the audience.
The audience must be able to
see you
hear you
understand you
believe you
feel you

3. Notes from the last couple of weeks →
*No one, except Elijah, is loud enough*
Elijah- Take care of your voice, watch that video about breath support
John + Micheal p 5- When mama is crossing with the hat, verbalize a little bit.
Mama p 7- After papa exits, turn on night lights.
Lost Boys p 24- “Flying! Flying! Flying” held the excitement of “Mud. Mud. Mud.”
Smee p 28- Make your cross down center because of the way the captain gestures with his hook.
You want to get away from the hook.
Hook p 29- “Call back the band” - WAIT FOR SMEE’S WHISTLE - “They say that peter pan…”
Pirates p 27- 75% too much movement on searching for lost boys. Last warning.
Lost Boys p 32- Entrance much better, thanks.
MAYA + Smee + Stage Right Pirates+ Lost Boys-
Use a piece of rope to take the lost boys across as if they’re all tied to it.
Lost Boys + Wendy p 36- Wendy is going to need to be dragged in from the most downstage wing
(closest to the audience) So, Lost Boys who are at the edge of the actual stage
(Charlot and Leona?) are going to need to move upstage in their kneeling positions.
We will have to go back and fix this.
Lost Boys p 37- When Wendy is dragged on, you think she’s a giant bird.
Look at her in excitement and awe. This doesn’t happen every day.
Lost Boys p 37- React when Peter tells you that It’s not a bird, it’s a lady.
Lost Boys + Peter + Micheal + John p 38- “I didn’t get to see Wendy” How did it go?
Remember for the line “and be our mother…” lean toward center stage first, lean toward offstage second.
Hook p 44- Slow down your line “The game is up…”
Pirates p 57- Vocalize on entrance.
Tiger Lilly p 57- Show your defiance physically. You are better than they are. You are very proud.
Pirates p 58- Great job with confusion and looking for Hook.
Tiger Lilly p 58- When you cross away from the Pirates, you know that Peter is playing a trick on them.
When you depart, make some type of physical action or gesture to the Pirates on your exit.
(let’s talk about it) When you get to the Lost Boys, go all the way stage right
before talking to them to avoid having your back to the audience.
Hook p 59- In the script it says “Shreeks”, but don’t hurt your throat.
All p 70- After Tiger Lilly’s line “We’ll keep guard and look for pirates”
there will be a scene change with a new sound cue. (Sound cue 27.5)
Wendy p 70- Enter as lights go up.
MAYA + Twins + Nibs p 70- There is fabric to be slippers and tree bark for the newspaper.
Wendy + Peter + Twin 1 p 71- We need to fix the stool thing.
Wendy p 75- On your line “Peter, how I wish I could take you and squeeze you”,
you need to reach out to him and try to hug him so that he can pull away from you.
Peter p 77- You’ve got this scene. Relax and trust yourself. It has to be honest.
Hook p 79- Go over your speech. Remind yourself of exactly what you say and where the mood changes.
Peter- in the duel, Hook must catch you and "push" you down with his Hook. You have to sell this.
Peter- in the duel, Hook must catch you and "push" you down with his Hook. You have to sell this.
