With a new due date quickly approaching, there is now a sense of urgency to improve quickly. Our group has the foundation of what our scene should be, but the actual performance lacks creativity, entertainment, structure, and overall idea of the direction in which characters need to show through emotion on stage.  There were several long pauses during our scene where actors struggled with cues and remembering lines. In one of the last scenes where Little Guy comes on after Lili killed herself, she is not supposed to be present on stage. During another scene it take...
