Dress Rehearsal

Dress rehearsal notes:

SET

  • More curtain spatter still needed/trim corners
  • Curtain needs to meet in the middle - 2cm gap atm. Weights in corners.
  • Bring front SR leg forward to mask the side properly/ mask with different black fabric
  • Disguise white markers - brown paint
  • Mark in screws on gate

COSTUME

Soldier

  • Check shoes look muddy every time
  • Calico can be seen in bag - swap for a darker fabric
  • Check hat/ CM hat for threads  - catching on his hair
  • Putties removed before becoming pedlar as he no longer a Soldier - makes him look more like and average man (very quick change)
Princess
  • Swing catch belt to grey peplum
  • Ensure bodice is pulled up high and underwear cannot be seen
  • Remove silver trimming - peplum isn't moving/draping well

Devil 

  • OM - dressing note, tuck belt into itself


LIGHTING

MAKE-UP

  • Devil - cheek bones more prominent, create fork on forehead as seen yesterday
  • OM/CM - more masculine hair
OTHER
  • Doors opening are loud - warn actors of this
  • Darken violin bow to match
  • Make sure costume girls are wearing blacks

Reflection: Again finishing touches to make the performance look the best it can. These had to be performed very quickly and I had to call in extra set help to get these completed and paint dry on time for the opening evening performance. Thankfully as this venue is in a better location it was easier to do so.
