NotesGeneral:Great rehearsal!!!We talked about our childhoods, got sentimental, asked philosophical questions about sense of self, passage of time, and growing up.Script:Nothing new today!

Scenery:Nothing new today!

Props:Again, not official requests, but we are playing with the umbrella, and lots of letters.

Officially, we would love to get an old-fashioned projector, one with clear paper that we can write on with dry-erase marker.

Shayna is also buying a loop-pedal (with her own money). Do we have a handheld microphone that could plug into the loop pedal?

We are also going to use 8 schoolbooks (unclear what aesthetic/time period these are yet, will tell you ASAP). Inside these schoolbooks, we would love to be able to open them to a certain page and have that page be reflective like a mirror. Could we get mirror-paper that we could put inside these books so that they are reflective? (Matt will meet with you tomorrow morning to describe this in more detail!)Costumes:We love the white hoop skirt! Potentially to be worn outside the neutral ensemble costume?

Lighting:Nothing yet!

Sound:Shayna is buying a loop-pedal (with her own money). Do we have a handheld microphone that could plug into the loop pedal?Miscellaneous: N/A
