The Flint Street Nativity - Play, by Tim Firth (16) (Evaluating progress)

Today we did a run through of the whole play up until midway through the adult section (as we ran out of time to finish). However, we didn't do all of the songs as we haven't got the sheet music yet for the songs we are unsure on.

WHAT WENT WELL:
-  Almost everyone remained in character at all times
-  Everyone remembered the blocking
-  Everyone knew their cue lines
-  Character interactions were stronger as we understand them better now
-  Children and adult characters had strong similarities where appropriate
-  Better understanding of adult section staging

WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER:
-  All scenes were learned as opposed to just cue lines
-  Know order of the scene, as we muddled the order a couple
-  To not need any prompting at all

WHAT I THINK WE NEED TO DO NOW:
-  Learn and sort or cut songs
-  Practice on the stage in costumes
