Everyone	learn your lines so that we can run the show entirely  People noise in the bar. Everyone loses their accents when they grow angry – watch this. Say h’s on some words so the audience can understand what you are saying. Cheat out Be louder
Edwin	Begin smelling the shed as you come in. Work on fainting. Keep kissing her hand until Lady H says, stop….. Plant your feet. This was your first day as the character so it was tough. Unpardonable - diction maybe don could stalk Brooke after the meeting. Follows her, comes from behind pylon when she gets close Don’t smell the hair. Do what you would do.  Salivate over her in the lantern scene. Make a point of seeing her.  Start putting the show together BEFORE Lady H tells the girls about the show. Walk in character any time you enter or exit. Work on being more threatening in stalking scene – we will work on that. Swirl glass – see Collin
Ellen and Kate	Work on new lines.
Len	Be goofier in love with Maggie. Wipe your brow, lift your glass, wink and smile and say what a woman
Maids/men	Move gutting shed back during Eady/Maggie scene. Move things quietly.
Arthur	Louder and slow down. In “teaching a lesson scene,” My dear- CHUCKLE- there is plainly something….. (TOY with her) Be firm when you have your arms around Priscilla. Use a deeper voice.
Jim	You will be carrying in a carcass, so grunt as you enter. Laugh louder. Can only hear Kate Diction – people like us don’t get shops
Emily	Louder and slower
Gut girls	People noises as you work – groan, sigh, be cold, etc. More people noises in sewing scene. Can’t thread a needle, poke yourself with needle, take something apart. Slow down on line about hankies, Polly.  New rule – deep sighs, react,
Annie	Look around before you say you are going to be sick. Didn’t hear your madam line in club scene Diction- Let’s go to that club…. Diction – and I got friends
Maggie	I had trouble understanding Brooke when speaking to lady h in the meat say the "can't have everything you want in life" as a warning slow down and use diction talking to Lady H – most of us have to go home…. Diction – bleedin choice Diction- we’ll do that allright. Diction – time we done something about him. Diction- to learn how to become decent
Man 1	Entering as Man 1, cross from DSR to DSL. As man 1, you Sounded like Harry
Harry	Be creepy when you listen.
Ellen	say your line about finding Annie a new place to live while saying goodbye. You should be leaving as you say this  Find a bag you can use to put pamphlets in.  Keep them handy Well BEAT you in that house? It’ll be about that club she set up – diction Diction- I’m sure a couple of months…
Jim, Kate	still too staged when Reese and Payton enter
Kate	be trashier as a character until you change your mind in the instruction of a maid. Emotion talking about your mom. The death is still fresh. Line – It gets all bloody Line – stood outside the gate on payday
Priscilla	be loud even though you are stuttering Frippery line was too slow.  You are “connecting” here with Lady H, so be a little amused that shows you are more comfortable with her. LOUDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Work on line about running into a door. It’s not clear because of the stuttering.
Women	start the lady Helena meeting immediately after Maky and Ashlynn quit speaking Don’t laugh about women being thirty – say it matter of fact. Start singing as soon as the Eady/Maggie scene is over. Clap after the lantern show.
Polly	make had a vision funny Scaremongering – work on line Oh blimey – missed what am I going to do.
Annie & Kate	Clean a chair off for Lady H when she enters. React more when Lady H enters.  FAWN over her.
Lady H	Hang up petticoats in dressing rooms and find a purse and hanky.  Remind me tomorrow. Look at line – pleased to meet you.  What does. None at all?  You are surprised – a little louder & make it more of a question, scene 12 Diction – the young women in the gutting sheds…. That’s enough. Get up….hands on hips. Ask to see page 16
Eady	Slower on folding clothes. Slow down on lines. Be louder. Watch diction. Work with MS. Kuehler or Kadyn or Ashlynn
Maggie and Eady	Maggie, try to hug your mom so she can smell the ale. Try to touch her at other times.
