The End

One last blog post-- just wanted to thank you guys for making my last Lincoln show such an amazing experience. I loved getting to know and work with all of you, and I hope you all had as much fun as I did producing this amazing show. We sold out every performance, created nine fantastic one acts, and got glowing reviews from everyone who saw it.

Seniors, I am so lucky to have grown up with all of you, and cannot express all that you have given me throughout the years, whether you knew it or not. We have seen each other go through all of the weird, awkward, and embarrassing phases of high school and have somehow managed to come out the other end intact and together.

Freshmen, thank you for taking a chance and doing the show, and thank you for being so amazing to work with. I hope theater helped you find your place like it did for me. Know that you are always welcome and wanted in LHS drama.

Jim, thank you for all your hard work and dedication to this department over the years-- I don't know if you can understand how many kids you have given a safe space where they feel appreciated and wanted. I, for one, will always be in debt to you and this program, and appreciate you letting me work on one last play before leaving.

This isn't a definite goodbye yet-- we still have until Abes-- but a sincere thank you to everyone who helped make this show one of the most rewarding I have ever done. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
I hope I get to see and say goodbye to all of you at Abes on May 30, and I hope that all of you keep doing drama next year.

Thank you all so much.
K


<3 Live, Love, Bilal <3

Week 6

Thanks for an awesome opening weekend everyone! Sorry I haven't posted notes from the last two shows-- I have mostly given notes directly to the people they are about, so it hasn't really been necessary.

Also, we're looking for a house to have the cast party at-- we expect about 35-40 people. If you have a house that can fit all of us and if your parents are willing to have everyone over we would greatly appreciate it.

Opening Night Notes 5/8

There was a lot of backstage noise tonight-- if it happens again I'll have to put a crew member on quiet duty. Remember, the audience can hear EVERYTHING in intimate seating.

Also, if you really would like to play cards, your call time is 5:00. We can't play after magic time so get it all out at the beginning please!

Angelo - "Is there something I can do for you?"
Maya, India, Caleb - Flub on Maya's first line/interruptions?
Natina - Please use a black or brown hair tie-- the one you had on tonight was distracting
Emma - "Because, because" line was weird
Sam - Page 7 "snowmobile club" line jumbled
Ross - What are you mouthing before "I gotta head" on pg 8?
Alex - Keep skates as quiet as possible backstage! I think you may have hit them against the wall
LOL Teis crotch pockets
Lauren- review pg 6 "I know, and"
Lili is an angel
Lili, Cris - keep control of the painting

Thanks for an awesome run, guys!

Thanks! 

Makeup Notes 5/6

Reminders: Bring everything I ask you to, or you owe Kiley, your ASM, your director, and your costumer a chocolate bar.

Also, Chris needs a pair compression shorts/bike shorts (or any tight shorts). If any of you could bring in some tomorrow, I would be eternally grateful. 

Prologue-

Caroline: You're good.

Bilal: You need to put on blush. Also, you MUST remember the shoes. I am tired of reminding you.

Her Heart-

Katie: A tad too much blush. I will ask Nickey about the rings tomorrow.

Angelo: You're good.

Sad and Glad-

Caleb: You're good.

Maya: You're good.

India: You're good.

This Hurts-

Natina: You're good.

Andy: You're good.

Getting it Back-

Ben: No makeup at all.

Emma: Your makeup looks much better. You need to borrow the bb cream from Katie every time.

They Fell-

Sam: You're good.

Ross: You're good.

Where it Went-

Alex: You're good.

Kate: You're good.

Story of Hope-

Teis: You're good.

Lauren: You're good.

Seeing the Thing:

Lili: Your makeup was good. No rings any more, and please remove the nail polish if possible. (Also, I can't remember if you were wearing earrings, but those are also a no.)

Chris: Remember to bring compression shorts!

T-Shirts

Hi guys!
If you have not picked up your tshirt yet please come to the auditorium any day this week after school to get it. I can only give you one if you have turned in your check, but you'll want to come get it for tshirt day on Wednesday!

Makeup/Costume Notes from Marjorie

General Notes:

1. Please, for the love of god, wear antiperspirant!! If you do not own any, buy some ASAP. Not wearing is not an option.

2. Full makeup is required for ALL ACTORS tomorrow. Boys, I will be buying makeup tonight, so don't worry about it.

Run Crew:

All- Your costumes all look great, so stick with that. No makeup is required, but if you do wear any, it must be very minimal.

Prologue:

Bilal- Remember to bring your black shoes!

Caroline- The makeup you did today was perfect. That will be your permanent makeup. 

Her Heart:

Angelo- You're good.

Katie- Your makeup was the right color, but there needs to be less of it. I'll show you what I mean tomorrow. Also, I liked the lipstick you had on today was good. I think we're going to stick with that. 

Sad and Glad: 

Caleb- Remember to trace over your tattoo tomorrow.

India-  I think your makeup looked good. I still want to try out the hot pink lipstick tomorrow, but keep the one you had on today handy.

Maya- Your eyes looked good. I will buy you the lipstick tonight, so we'll see how it looks onstage tomorrow.

This Hurts:

Andy- Tuck in your vest all the way or not at all.

Natina- You need darker blush. Also, try lip gloss tomorrow, and I'll see if I like it.

Getting it Back:

Ben- You're good.

Emma- You looked very washed out on stage today. You need darker lipstick, eyeshadow, and blush. They all need to be more pink.

They Fell:

Ross- You're good.

Sam- Remember to bring your compression shorts!

Where it Went:

Alex- You're good.

Kate- You were wearing a ring on your right hand. It was a beautiful Kate ring, but not a Marce ring. Please take off all extra jewelry besides for the earrings you and Izzy have agreed upon. (That's a note for everyone! NO JEWELRY EXCEPT FOR WHAT YOU AND YOUR COSTUMER HAVE ALREADY AGREED UPON.)

Story of Hope:

Teis- You're good

Lauren- I like the way we have your hair now. We’ll neaten it up tomorrow, but that’s going to stick. Remember to bring brown tights!

If you have any questions please email me at marjoriems5@gmail.com Tomorrow we are solidifying everything, so you need to be in full costume and makeup. I will not accept any more excuses. 

For everyone who forgets, you owe Kiley, your ASM, your director, and your costumer a chocolate bar.

Thanks,

Marjorie
