Nativity

Travelers walk at a normal pace and enter sooner.

Angels and shepherds - The crew has asked that you not climb onto the boxes until they are set.  They need to make sure they are correct!!!

ALL in Nativity!! - NO JAZZ SHOES!!!  You must have sandals to match the period.

Kickline and kings - entourage and Kings are all royal so look up...not at the ground.  If your costume does not cover your face then you need a beard.  Kings all need beards.  Godd job on timing without having the narration.  Mollie come out a little sooner when the first king is 2/3rds across

During the transitions we can hear you!!!  Your mics are on!!!!

Bryant, Lexi and Dylan


Make entrances as soon as lights go out to avoid getting trapped in wings by exiting bodies

Lexi - DO NOT TALK BEFORE OR AFTER SCENES AND DO NOT PROMPT OTHERS ON WHAT TO SAY BECAUSE YOUR MIC IS ON AND WE HEAR YOU!  It was great when you "covered" for Jamaica though

Your specials will always be around 6-7-8...make sure you are in your place

After Mexico dialogue, exit stage RIGHT now and walk behind.
During Hanukah, stay stage left and watch.  Make sure you step downstage so when carolers enter they can get behind you.
After Caroling follow carolers over to stage right and stay and watch Hawaii, Jamaica, and silent Night
On cross to stage left on Cookie dialogue make sure you make it all the way across while talking so the dancers can enter from st right in the dark. Then stay and watch!

Get on stage asap after jingle bells so you don't get caught in the wings by exiting girls.

The trumpeters will have a hat.  Lexi - when they are done, run up and put money in the hat.
