SET:

Jen says that the rocket ship chair and the horse would work better with front swivel wheels and back fixed wheels.

Can we get six hooks in the wall in the stage right wall on which we can hang the long rope for "Give a Man Enough Rope"?  I am going to see if I can get Jared to help me after rehearsal to put masking tape X's on the wall where the hooks should go, but if he can't, then Jayson, Jared, or I can help with the placement tomorrow.

SOUND:

Jared is going to be The Engineer and Adam is going to be The Radio Announcer on page 73.

QUOTES:

"If you want to be successful, it's just this simple.  Know what you are doing.  Love what you are doing.  And believe in what you are doing."
