Notes from the 5/2 run thru

☆ Everyone: Be careful not to mouth the other actors’ lines!

Prologue:

Peter: Push the windows open all the way. Don’t stick your fingers through the "glass"

Lost Boys: On your entrance, be inviting to the audience. Check your stage positions (they were ugly).

Darling Family: Great Entrance.

Natalie & Nicole: Sit up one step higher.

Scene One:

Mama: Don’t cross in so far.

John: Bow to Mama on her entrance.

Nana: Start your cross to papa for the bath exit sooner.

Nana: Enter sooner on your second entrance.

Papa: Look at your “Good Nana” lines. You're skipping some.

Wendy: Volume, volume, volume

Mama: You need to turn the night-lights on.

Mama: When you’re standing by Wendy, you need to put your hand on her shoulder, her hair, touch her like you’re fond of her.

Wendy: Show shock on waking up to see Peter sitting there.

Wendy: You need to get your sewing kit from the chair.

Peter: Look at the kiss. Be curious about it.

Wendy & Peter: Stay open when you’re looking at the dresser.

Wendy & Peter: Look each other in the eyes when you’re talking

*Wendy + Peter: This is a change. On page 13, on Peter’s line, “I don’t know…” Peter should cross up to the window. Wendy, follow him on your cross.

Wendy or John: The lights have to be turned out before Liza comes in.

Wendy: Move the chair.

Micheal, John & Wendy: “Lovely thoughts...” Fix your stage positions, they were ugly.

Neverland:

Pirates: Start moving into the theater earlier on the Pirate March.

Lost Boys: Do not scream like girls when the Pirates are coming.

Hook: We can’t understand your first line. Slow down, think about what you’re saying.

Hook & Smee: Eye contact during conversations.

Pirates: During search, some will exit to get their prop instruments. Some can sit and fall asleep, whittle, something like that.

Pirates: Let's fix the exit after the croc enters.

Ceci & Eeva: Great job choosing to use a different exit.

Brave Girls p 33: Look at the script. By not hitting your cues, you’re leaving the Lost Boys stranded.

1. “I do wish Peter were here”
2. Rustle rustle rustle
3. “What’s that?”
4. (A moment of silence)
5. “It’s so quiet.”
6. “Ugh!”
7. “Brave Girls!”

Small Brave Girl: React after they shush you. Do you think it’s funny? Are you embarrassed?

Lost Boys: Don’t go upstage to get bows and arrows. Wait ‘till they’re brought to you.

Wendy: On the hand move, lift your hand waaaay up, and swish it around like everyone’s annoying you and you just want to shush them.

Jayden & Sebastian: Great job when you were standing by the proscenium.

Curlies: Do the dance move of scooting backward with the Twins.

Lost Boys: Create the decorations. Act as if you’re tying together vines, flowers, etc.

Lanora & Seri Jane: Don’t cross downstage of Peter.

Lost Boys: Look at the lines for this scene.

Peter: Change your voice for Hook. Try to sound like him.

Tiger Lilly: On “Follow me!”, Make a big movement. This will help the audience understand what's going on.When you are on a mic the sound of your voice won't draw the audience's attention to you. The voice could be coming from any actor, it has no direction.

Burrow:

Twins: One on each side of Dad with slippers.

Lost Boys: During the song, not everyone can put their head down on their knees.

Wendy: Stand on “Yes, I suppose…”.

Lost Boys: Every time you enter to the Burrow, remember the audience. Remember that there are people sitting in the chairs against the walls to house left. OPEN UP. Actors who are the most downstage should choose a kneeling position.

Hook: When talking to Smee (with Wendy tied up), hold the poison bottle out to your right. Don’t hold it out in front of Wendy's face.
