Man you guys have a lot to do, but it was very reassuring that you guys have done your homework and know your lines. It sounds like a very good base that you can add to in the coming week. Considering the amount of time you have (and have left), I'm impressed by your work.
Now the last thing I want to do is hear that you guys slacked off after hearing that. Please don't stop working.
I re-wrote a line for Beth earlier today, I have to look at something for Barron still, and all the lovely ladies in Act 2 Sc 4 can toss away your pages cause you have new lines to learn! Before you lose your minds, I only added about a line each per character (Meg now says "Us!" for example, and that's the add). It was needed. That scene was boring and didn't have any conflict. Now, hopefully, the conflict is more clear and works better as a set-up for the "sitting outside the party" scene before Alison uses her powers for evil.
Strengthen!!!!!!
Clearly you guys have questions, and that's what the internet and/or The Lupfers and me are for. If you have a question, ask us, we'll let you know. Christina didn't know what a NARC was, (or its verb, "to narc") and it's an easy fix. Now that line has meaning, she can say it the way it properly, and the line will (hopefully) work! It's a wonderful process.
You know where you can find me on facebook or through email at antonmichaelp [@] gmail.com if you have any questions or issues, or leave them here in the comments. There's nothing more infuriating and wasteful when someone doesn't get the reference and refuses to ask, so the line reading suffers, then they're told how to say it and the actor goes "oh, THAT'S what that means!" Just ask! It's what we're here for!
Keep up the good work. Well, I can be the judge of that on Saturday.

Glad you mentioned that actually :)
What does "Wu Wei" mean?
-Alyssa
From wiki: Wu wei (traditional Chinese: 無爲; simplified Chinese: 无为; pinyin: wúwéi) is an important concept of Taoism (Daoism), that involves knowing when to act and when not to act. Another perspective to this is that "Wu Wei" means natural action - as planets revolve around the sun, they "do" this revolving, but without "doing" it; or as trees grow, they "do", but without "doing". Thus knowing when (and how) to act is not knowledge in the sense that one would think "now" is the right time to do "this", but rather just doing it, doing the natural thing.
Thank you! This actually came up in my history class today. We were talking about blending in with nature and gaining knowledge through it, so I think I have a better idea on how to play Maya the way you intended :)
I know this may be sort of a superficial question, but is Kris more dressy or a sweatshirt and jeans person? Seriously, it'll help me. Thanks! :)
