Please share:
1) What did you find interesting/evocative/effective? What prompted a reaction in you? What worked?
2) What questions do you have for the performer?
3) Could you consistently hear and see the actors for most of the performance? Did it feel like they were really listening and responding to each other? Did they give themselves places to go and things to do? (Please note that you are not offering suggestions for fixing these if they weren't present, you're only sharing your experience as a viewer.)

Looking up and thinking, taking the notebook, marking out answers, turning away was effective,
Does she do well on the SATs after?
Could see and hear the whole time, sat at table most of the time,

1) What did you find interesting/evocative/effective? What prompted a reaction in you? What worked?
Even though there were moments where laughter ensued, y’all were able to reign it back in and continue with the scene.
2) What questions do you have for the performer?
Do the characters have different ideas about their relationship?

Yes, I heard them well. However, alishaba’s face was turned away from the audience almost the entire time. I get that this scene is pretty much a sit and talk.

Y’all pushed through it, and the body language worked well
No questions
I could hear both of you well and could see both of you

1. I liked how they banter with each other
2. What underlying feelings do you have for each other!
3. I could consistently see what the actors were doing.

Thank you all for incorporating props!
If y’all angle your table a little we’ll be able to see both of your faces more easily!
It would be helpful to give yourself a sheet where there are actually things you can circle/mark off or to move down the page as you write; pretending to write is a little distracting.
Nice job staying with each other when a line gets dropped!
There’s no reason you couldn’t make a question sheet with the actual questions in them that you read out loud.
Why does Clark make the horse camp comment?
Why does Jamie take Clark’s comment as being something personal?
What’s with the “Clark, kumquat, pineapple wedge, sweetie”?
When you all are on top of your lines the pacing is pretty solid.
Why does Clark decide to circle back to the hating you bit?
What does she want him to do when she asks him to prove it? How does he receive that?

I thought usage of the papers was super effective. The dynamic was super clear and I could hear y’all. The laughing didn’t feel out of character
