From Miss Lindsey--Director Notes from Run Thru

General Notes

-Everyone is doing an amazing job. Please remember not to whisper lines to each other onstage. You will have mics on and anything you whisper, the audience will hear. If someone forgets a line, either someone else needs to say it, or you need to improv your way out of it. 

-Cheat out! I don't want to see any booty cheeks, only beauty checks :)

-Go over music, lines, and choreo!

-These are notes for both casts combined, so everyone please go over these with your children.

-Everyone needs to review the choreo for Top Secret Personal Beeswax 

Scene 2

-May was late to stage. If you miss your entrance, please don't come onstage after the fact.

-Lucielle- Make sure your scene with Junie happens on in front of the chairs, not behind

-Camielle, Chenielle - Make sure you both do big arms whenever you first come onstage
