Final Costumes, Props, And Other Stuff.

So, today we skyped with the other school about final costumes and props. We agreed that the official color for the Capulets is white, and the official color for the Montagues is red. We were thinking along the lines of that instead of everyone going out and buying stuff for this, that we'll just try and use whatever we have. If anyone thinks we absolutly need something, and the only way is to buy it, come up to me and we can talk about. But here's a list of everything we found out:
*For the balcony scene, Romeo will be wearing a nice red dress shirt, with a white tie, and kacki pants.
*For balcony scene, Juliet will be dressed in a simple white dress, with a red flower in her hair.
*Every other scene, WE NEED IDEAS! Just make sure that you stick with the color schemes!

Capulets:                 Montagues:                    Kind of Nuetral People:
Juliet                        Romeo                          Pince Escalus
Lord Capulet           Lady Montague             Friar Lawrence
Paris                        Lord Montague              Friar John
Nurse                      Mercutio                         Apothecary
Tybalt                      Benvolio
Sampson                  Balthasar
Gregory                   Peter
Lady Capulet           Abram

Another thing was props. When you guys are reading, write down if they use anything in the scenes. Like I know in one scene the Nurse has a fan, and in another Romeo exchanges money, so just be concious of those things. We can meet together one day when you guys have a list of props, and then we  can see if anybody already has those things so we don't have to buy stuff.

Audio Peeps:
Also, audio people, we were talking about coming up with like some theme music for our characters. Like for their moods. Like if Romeo is in a bad mood, we can use the same theme music for everytime he's angry, that way people get an idea of what's kind of going to happen in the scene. And since we have lovey scenes, we need some stuff that's kind of like piano, violins, acoustic guitar (soundtrack things) and make sure it doesn't have words. We can have songs with words, but for the main scenes, were going to stay away from that.

Writers/Actors:
And one last thing, were making really good progress with re-writing the play, in fact, Act 2 should be completely writen and done by Friday. We'd like Act 4 to be done sometime next week. But here's the plan, since Act 2 in almost done, we're going to post it and let the other writers&actors look over it. Then, all the actors in those parts can tell us what they think, or if any revisions need to be made.
