Stage Notes – December 7

CHORUS:

BIG SET Remember all the food should come in after sittables.

JAN, DIANA, CAROLINE, CHRISTINA See Julia for a note about props.

JEFF We don’t think we’ll have room for the keg on the table in Shady Grove. We do have one, so it would be great to see you bring it on when you enter, and it can just stay by the back tables.

DIANA See Roberta for a note on your toast.

ANDREA We have an idea about your toast, come talk to us when you can.

MEETING IN THE WOODS We are cutting the lanterns in this scene.

TAI Remember to come downstage when you’re singing your response to Keith in meeting in the woods

KEITH Make room for Christina to come through in Meeting in the Woods

TAI See Roberta for a note about your baby

MOTHERS If you enter early after Meeting in the Woods, you should be holding a candle. We want to see you coming into the woods with them. Place them on the Brass Platform and Porch before audience sing. Hold them during the shapenote piece. This will be a fix on Thursday.

PROMISED LAND Be mindful that you can always see someone who is directing tempo (either Andrea or Betsy only, please).

CHORUS Everyone please remember to keep off the platforms so we can see the Brass during LoD. Stage Right sweep towards porch.

ELEANORE Can you please start a line SL during LoD.

MATT We think you don’t need to cross at all in Wayfaring Stranger. We are going to look at this as a fix on Thursday.

HOGMANAY MEN Walk up the stairs after Catie’s line “Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.”

HOGMANAY MEN and WOMEN Betsy will have a basket for you to drop your coals and leather in after Hogmanay, and women with plaid drapes should put those in the basket as well.

GREG LEWIS Join Susan in Act 2 during Coming From Home. Try to be there by “We could not let our children starve.”

BILL Thanks for going to get the bell to ring it for the Peace Round.

CHORUS Please look at Jan in the beginning of “Allelulia.”

CHORUS Please keep a clear path for Max to pass through with the wreath

CHORUS The Christmas tree will be coming in from SL, please clear a path for it.

ASTRID Thanks for moving to the HR side during 12 Days

BILL and GREG Greg, remember you are the straight man who is conducting 12 Days. Bill, be mindful of not getting in his way too much.

BILL Talk to Roberta about 5 golden rings

CHORUS If you are in the house for 12 Days, yell “The Mummers!” as you are running back onstage.

CHRIS L Thanks for picking up the rings on your way back onstage. If you need to, you can take those out the house door instead of onstage.

CHRIS L Come talk to Julia about the note you gave to Roberta

HAROLD, ANDREA, CHRISTINA Please exit after Mummers and re-enter on SR side.

HOGMANAY MEN You should have a piece of leather with you for picking up and holding the coal. These will be in the lobby for you to pick up.

HOGMANAY STICK HOLDERS You should each have a piece of leather for picking up the coals, this will be with the Hogmanay stick.

PATRICK See Roberta for a note about your Mummers entrance.

GREG M When you say the line “See what they’ve done” for the second time, add “again”, so it’s “See what they’ve done AGAIN!”

TEEN CHORUS:

WALLY Please walk around the brass to pick up the music stands.

LILA Please put the crate on top of the table for Kentucky Wassail.

ALL Please go outside the building and around for Lord of the Dance

WALLY Try to never be down front, unless you are standing in front of someone really tall.
