CHOREOGRAPHY:

CREW:

Great job, crew! Everything seemed to go fairly smoothly.

Next crew call: Tuesday, July 2, 2013 at 6:00pm.

ACCIDENTS/INJURIES:
Kit Usage:

COSTUMES/MAKEUP:

The space gun doesn't fit in the holster.
Can Jen's pink powder puff corset have a velcro close instead of hooks and eyes? The Show Girls don't have a problem with time, but Jen has a quick change.
Cliff needs some kind of loop or way to attach his rope to his belt or jeans.

PROPS:

We need one more bouquet for "The Wedding".
Do we have a stool for Clem to use when playing the piano?
Need seven sheets to wrap the Show Girls and Z's Favorite in at the end of "Presents for Mrs. Rogers".
Will we have another baby for "It's a Boy"?

LIGHTING/FX:

SET:

The platform needs to painted and masked.
The seat for the rocket has been cut. Jen will carry the facade, so handles need to be added to the back. It will also need to sit upright by itself when she crosses down the stairs. There will need to be a shelf on the back where she can store the prop (a package located on the prop shelves) she brings on.
Never mind about masking the front of the rocket.
Handles need to be added to the sides of the trunk so that crew can lift it more easily.
A small step needs to be added to the inside corner of the trunk so that kids can more easily climb out.
Back board on trunk needs to be padded; it's scratching kids.
Dresses are getting caught on the back middle stairs, so they probably need to be sanded.
Please put hooks on the outside walls in the SL and SR wings. Jayson has marked where with tape.
Can we separate the horse from the base so that each can be stored on the top stair (stage right) and then assembled on top of the stairs?
Please see Mary Ellen about her concerns about the moonscape.

MISC.:

Good cover with the veil, Devon!
