Dress Rehearsal - last rehearsal before we go live!

Hello, how's my favorite people?
Just some notes:
Tonight lets do it like the real thing.

Things to remember:
No jewelry, street shoes, street clothes, showing through costumes.

No lights in hallways.

No noise in the wings or hallways.

Shut green room doors, rely on video & managers. Every cast member helping to create a reverent atmosphere in the green room.

All stage hands, light guys, sound people dress in black.

Where light clothes under your tunics, pockets or a waistband would be good for putting the Microphone box in.

If something goes wrong just improvise and make it work. Know your music well enough you can keep singing right even if you can't hear the music well enough.

Place the microphone square close to the corner of your mouth with the grey dot to your cheek. And Project! Speak/Sing Out!

Those with long hair, try to get it out of your face, we need to see your expressions. Mary's especially!

Keep your wraps down off your shoulders, its not cold out, let it hang down your back just below your shoulder blades. Be careful to pin or whatever it takes to have you not constantly
adjusting you costume on stage.

Enter/Exit over platforms much more quietly---no elephant parades!

If there is a shadow on your face, move downstage a step (closer to audience).

Show your emotion bigger---especially chorus angels. Careful because concentrating
sometimes comes out looking like scowling on your face.

And the last note: If the spirit promts "yes, you need to add a rehearsal on Saturday,"
I will add one, but only if He directs. I want to know that we have done all we can do,
and then we can count ourselves worthy for the Lord to make up the difference.
We'll talk tonight about it.

Please make these adjustments if you get this in time, and we'll see you tonight at 5pm.
Be ready to start costume make-up and all at 6pm.

May the Lord bless us and keep us in the hollow of His hand,
which I have no doubt He will. Its just that we need to remember that!
Audra
