Performance Notes:

• Prior to the performance, it came to my attention that several times throughout the run, including tonight, the actors had received costumes that were still damp at call. Quite a few actors were understandably complaining about this. I spoke to Nikki about this after the show and explained that they needed to receive costumes that were completely dry.
• Will was very briefly late for his entrance in I.4 because the glasses he was supposed to bring on had not been washed and he had to scramble to get clean glasses for a different scene. It was not noticeable.
• Ben did say his line “You will get much praise as Brazen, Wisehammer” (II.11) but he also skipped Sideway’s line “We’ll use it in the Sideway Theatre” in the process.
• Tonight was an excellent performance, one of our best yet, and we had a fantastic audience who really enjoyed the show.

Sets:

• One of the pieces of black fabric hanging in the DS stairwell (next to the booth) is falling down. We tried to tape it back up but it was not staying. Could you please look at this?

Props:

• Could we get another leaf for the fan? The one we have is currently being held together by gaff tape.

Lights:

• No notes at this time.

Sound:

• No notes at this time.

Costumes:
