March 20 - blog comment needed today and March 19

Everyone	Move more at the beginning. Guard – light your cig; maky, check your face or hair, Elijah, let us see you move to play. Dream wasn’t whispered. Tacos, fritos, loteria at the beginning you have to be quieter when Sam is explaining the play at the beginning Wind whistling before block 2 Wind on “That’s the way out.” Freeze at dreamer Street light on the two fold with the ritz only. Fight dance looked rehearsed. Narrow steep way – whisper wind Villagers, Lady M will give you a water bottle to keep you distracted from bothering her.  Fight over it. Villagers, be careful not to be too loud and distracting when dialogue is happening on stage. When Quixote says – hush……rocks- look up at God. - more wind as margaurite exits
Abdullah	Laugh at Prudence   Laughed too loud and we could not hear Marguerite’s line – I think it was about betrayal
Marguerite	Frozen during Hermano scene See pages 60 and 61 in published script for more words than not without me.   Sydney first line as m was not in character Sydney say aging with despair & be crazy!!!- Sydney you were not desperate as m today. Not desperate, old or crazy. No mask
Stage lights	Left and right stage are blinking simultaneously – it needs to be varied.  Is the light under Gutman flashing as well? As soon as Lady M exits, lights start flashing.
Carly	Lights should be dim with MINIMAL lighting on Esmeralda and Gypsy when she says it’s dark, I’m scared.
Casanova	Hit cane on – Thanks brother Need papers at Fugitivo scene. Discontinued – see the way this has affected you - sigh
Gutman	Heartbeat sound block 16 – that’s my heart. What is this placed Cannot say words or sentences not in the script unless it is in a crowd. Cut it’s ridiculous and my heart is breaking.  great work Sam! But u can't add lines. Let us see the helmet during the Fugitivo takeoff.
Quixote & Kilroy	- Jonah and tucker do end lines further from gypsy house. It's too clumped
Baron Charllus	Used to be as in the past tense …. Needs to be louder
Kilroy	YOU NEED TO BE HOT React HUGE to baron being shot in front of you. Vacancy – you realize you have a dead man’s hat on. Blink nose just one or two times – too many is distracting. People noises when you are fainting and again – boxing the street cleaners. Where was the picture Why do you get up? At the end.  We need to look at that. Step on line after little veil New hat and coat - Jonah cheat out when sitting with kadyn. We can't see your face in the middle of auditorium - Jonah step on lines throughout the play.
Marguerite & Kilroy	- Jonah and Sydney scene is slow. Sydney once again you are not playing m old or crazy.
Prudence	Cannot see your face REACT TO THE VILLAGE PERSON!!!!!!!!!!  WE have said this a hundred times. What block is this - sooner
Sound	Gunshots were great
Guard	Light cig at the beginning.  Pour water on the survivor – don’t sprinkle Bigger laugh during dreaming about money – ask Justin.
Cooper	Great job as Madrecita Add lines for La Madrecita - after big as the head of a baby HE STIRS She says – Rise Ghost, Go, bird!
Evan, Riley	Evan and riley need to be doing something during the dance
Evan Madrecita	Don’t escort Madrecita out with the gun.  No one reacts to this.
Bum	Stay out with lonely until all three have said it.
Dreamer	Keep nuts going until Kilroy – Don’t…… Use the frog until Marguerite says Jacque
Esmeralda	Scream when Jonah is hit.  What happened to that scene? Be as close to the end of the stage (DS) as you can be when you are introduced.
Gypsy	maky open your eyes when you give lines, it seems like you are looking down. -maky don't anticipate Jonas heart line
Casanova and Kilroy	Be closer. Casanova can lean in to speak to Kilroy – too much space is between you.  Leaning in shows you don’t want guards to see. – mac and Jonah first scene is too slow! You have to do something so that this does not seem like two HS boys giving lines in a OAP
Lady Mulligan	Don’t talk upstage with Lord Mulligan at the Siete Mares. Hand water bottle to villagers to distract them. Brooke you are playing lady mulligan with realism, we need you in this dream with us- Brooke sounds to young as lady mulligan. You can be a shrill old lady, but you must not play it as realism. - Brooke you must wear your hat as lady m. And your hair must be pulled back. - Brooke play lady m the whole time the way you say, put lord m on dry ice." That is your character
Gypsy and Nursie	Anticipated big as the head of a baby. – glamour wig.
Quixote	Good job!  Be sure and use a handful of feathers/
	Wine Earrings Stop watch

Cuts

Quixote  -My dream will be a masque and when I wake,

Prudence - You’re not so young as I thought when I saw you the terrace by candlelight. 

Casanova		Striking the terrace with his cane. I asked you what has happened in the plaza!
Gutman		Happenings in the plaza don’t concern us….
Casanova		I heard shots fired.
Kilroy	What is this country?  I was so glad to get off that rotten tub that I didn’t ask nothing of no one except my pay. (He jerks out his wallet.) Ha Ha!
Officer	Ha Ha!
Kilroy	Ha Ha!
Officer	(Making it sound like a death rattle)  Ha ha ha ha ha (He turns and starts into the cantina.  Kilroy grabs his arm)
Officer	What do you want?

Casanova : If I should start to whistle “La Golondrina” it means we’re being overheard by the guards.

La Madrecita

Recuerdos?   Recuerdos? (Memories)

Marguerite – I have my papers.  He wants to keep me here.  He’s lying then not without me.

Shorten dance – cornudo to two eight counts.

Gypsy	It’s going to break The streetcleaners are waiting for you
Gypsy	Frankly, your number is up! ….Esmeralda!

 

Cut Gypsy shooting

Esmeralda, sorrowfully		Mother has such an awful time on the street. (Esmeralda curls up on the divan.  Kilroy licks his lips – as though he is in an awkward situation)
Kilroy	Your sense of humor is wonderful, but how about my change, Mamacita?
Kilroy, panting	It don’t belong to no State, not even the USA. help me get out of here!  I don’t understand what’s…… happening, it’s like a …..dream…just like a….dream.
	A clear shaft of light falls on him.  He looks up into it crying.
	Esmeralda appears in a childish nightgown on the Gypsy’s roof.
Kilroy, softly	It’s just… like a …..dream
Quixote	DON’T …PITY…… YOURSELF!  (Quixote takes out a pocket mirror and combs and grooms his beard and mustache)
