State Post

After the weekend, it has been hard to return to “normal.” This is the year to have a state trip.  The cinnamon roll sales was our fundraiser.  We intended to have another, but contests crept up on us.  Therefore, we will be spending one night – Thursday, April 13.  We will leave at 6AM Thursday and return Friday afternoon, April 14.  Only those students who participated in the fundraiser will be eligible to go. The Wyndham in Round Rock has given us a group as well as the government rate. We will be watching the 5A shows. Students will need to provide $24. for the two sessions of plays; each session is $12.00.  Students will also need to pay for their meals.  The hotel will provide breakfast, but students will need to eat a hearty meal before the plays begin at 4:00 because we will not return to the hotel until after midnight Thursday. Please let me know if your child/children will be able to join us by Tuesday. 

 

It has been a sad end to the journey.  I could not have asked for a better, more hardworking group of students. Thank you for your support.  If you see Nicole Talley and her husband, please thank them.  We could not have done this with ease without their help. Nicole was in charge of the cinnamon roll fundraiser and she coordinated snacks for the trips. The Kolmans provided the meals last Thursday for the students.

Thanks for your support. Please contact me if you have questions.

Critiques April 4, 2017

Maggie	We get paid in one week – slow down There is some worse off – slow down Brothers and sisters Chop off animal flesh Little shiver in her voice – t, v, n Ol Helena – diction Breathin same air Fallen women line died Breath of relief – good morning, lord tartaden Th is starting to sound v again Don’t fall on Lady H’s house Watch if Harry has left Quicker on Maggie’s help request this is Kate none of us want to go to your meetings
Gut Girls	Tea whistle – DIFFERENT WoRDS Bloody time it is I’m knackered More excited in lantern show Lantern I’m gobsmacked. That was crackin
Polly	Put your finger right on it (Ts) Accent o0n dream
Annie	Sheep gutting sheds – entire sentence tt, d’s Do you get turkeys here – t and K Tidy – DDDD I never had no place I’m happy Sarnie scene – left leg on crate.
Jim	FASTER ENTRANCE
Harry	Beginning lines – hit all consonants Cheat out each sentence Find out – d, t Watch cap shadow Cheat out in sarnies scene Ice cold – don’t know why I did this. I've got a new one
Annie Ellen	We need for Annie’s dialogue to be at an angle to the judges.
Ellen	Half again Hack it off Standing on your head Metal plate
Lady H	Enlist your support – louder Priority on club’s agenda – consonants Do not flick Arthur’s nose Start sooner on punctual scene – speak as Priscilla is climbing stairs.
Arthur	Louder Priscilla – s, l Girls’ employers – consonants Assert authority to audience Woke up at the appropriate time – consonants Come with me Louder with Priscilla
Edwin	Slow down lantern lines Do something different in scenes so that it is not expected.  It looks staged after a time. On Maggie’s needing help keep head up and do a whispery line so it seems scarier.  Hand on Maggie’s left shoulder so that Lady H doesn’t see.
Kate	Starting to sound Texan Stop calling me Watch back during Toffs
Priscilla	Calm down dear - consonants

Taking too much time
Ellen - no compensation
Arthur - Yes, I will ask
Polly - here's to your first day, Annie
Maggie - let alone finishing
Arthur - after that's better there was a long pause to walk to Lady Helena's house
Helena - She is a bit dense
Emily - It's one of the girls from the club
Arthur - I'm glad you are learning to assert....
