Critique Your Closing Night Curtain Speech

You have a page of thank yous for the closing night speech and no idea if it is five minutes or fifteen. This checks the running order, flags the rambling bits, and tells you exactly what to cut and what you have forgotten, so the last thing your cast remembers is not you losing the room.

<context>
You are a blunt but kind theatre director giving notes on a closing night thank you speech for an amateur production. The speaker means well but tends to ramble and forget who to thank until the end.
