Monday the 27th Practice

My blocking plans for practice on Monday the 27th are as follows. . . .

~Workhouse Children & Fagin's Boys will not be needed during this practice~

Act 1 Scene 3

Act 2 Scene 1 (this practice will be without Fagin's Boys - we will add them in at another practice)

Page 42 - 45 (Nancy bringing Oliver to Brownlow and ONLY leading up to the murder portion of the scene.)

I would like to introduce the added lines for Page 54. At the 1st practice (during the read through) I told you that they'd be coming!!! This means added lines for Eliah, Lydia, Karis, and Noah K. (As time allows, I want to to do a read through of the entire Act 2 Scene 3 with the characters involved.)

I am currently making decisions about the epilogue. More info. will be coming.

The actors/actresses not in the scenes above will be working character development, line memorization, accents, volume, tone of voice, hand gestures, etc. with Mrs. Weimer and Mr. Caleb.
As well as checking in with costumes, hair, make up, shoes, hats . . .

Our Crew Members are vital to H.I.S. Players!!!! Remember to thank them for all the work they do! Just like practicing acting when someone has to back up and try again, they are doing the same thing behind the scenes! Be patient and helpful as they (perhaps) try many different ideas to best fit your character!
THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO CREW MEMBERS!

Looking forward to another great practice!

P.S. Here is the Summery for H.I.S. Players Oliver Twist. More details about time and location will be added before putting this on library displays etc. to advertise.
I just wanted to give you a sneak peek!

“If you please, sir, I want some more!” Escape into the world of 1830s England as H.I.S. Players presents Charles Dickens’ well-loved classic, Oliver Twist. Young Oliver travels from the selfish Bumbles at the workhouse to the streets of London where he meets the infamous Fagin, the Artful Dodger, the menacing Bill Sikes and the sacrificial Nancy. When rescued by a wealthy gentleman named Brownlow and a compassionate young woman, Oliver feels safe until kidnapping, and a mysterious man drive him back to the thieving ring. Will evil and deceit bring ruin or will love and goodness reveal truth? This stage adaptation portrays the intriguing twists and turns with memorable characters and attention to historical detail.
