Here is your homework to do before Thursday:
1. PRACTICE LINES: Look at the scenes we will be blocking this Thursday in rehearsal on the schedule above. If you are in any of the scenes listed under the Traci or Melissa blocking columns, practice your lines in them at home and memorize them as much as you can!
2. SONGS: Ronda will be working with you to learn the songs. Check above if you are involved in any of the songs this week and review your lyrics and listen to the practice tracks!:

#1 Opening and Raven’s other songs
#2 Loving Youth: Robin Hood, Merry Men
#7 Fight fire with fire: Sheriff, Gilbert, Goose, Prince John, Robin Hood, Ron and Josh (Guards)

All Other Vocal Practice Tracks
Accompaniment tracks to practice your songs with when you have begun to learn them: Backup Tracks
3. CHOREOGRAPHY: Machiel will be choreographing these dances this Thursday. Make sure you know which ones you’re in, and look it up to see what the context for the dance is in the scene and your lines surrounding it:
- Little Bird (Ladies)
- Plot, Plot (John and Kate)
- Loving Youth (RH, Merry Men)
- Taxes (ALL)
4. REVIEW: Watch the videos of what we have done and review to keep it fresh in your mind:
5. Look at how we will divide the time and groups in our rehearsal this week on the schedule above and write in pencil on the inside cover of your script something like “1. Ronda, 2. Traci, 3. Everyone!” to help you remember where you will need to be during rehearsal.
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication!
