Right-justified with hanging indents stage directions

These stage directions are right-justified and using hanging indents. There is no universal agreement as to how they should be formatted, so always check the project comments and discussion, and if it isn't covered, ask. The stage directions in this project were not discussed, but always appear as indented hanging indents, so they were placed in block quotes. Close and reopen italics around the small caps, unless the project comments or discussion say they should remain open.
