Rehearsal report # 1

What a GREAT group of people!

EXCELLENT etiquette -- everyone signed in with Jake; everyone said "Thank You" to their stage manager and to Kevin and I and everyone was prompt and focused.  SOooooooo impressed....what a great start!

We sang through the divisi parts in New Argentina  and the Requiem with the company ensemble.  We also worked through some of the recit  work with the Evas and The Mistress.  EVERYONE sounds amazing....

TAKE NOTE:

• FRIDAY, January 6th is a rehearsal for Featured Women ONLY

Fun Fact!: A recit  is a spoken and sung passage that falls out of the metre of a particular song.  It can both pre-cede or procede a major song of a work

The seniors; principal characters and crew leaders need to get bios to Mrs. Valaitis (please cc me as well) NO LATER than January 9th.





Take a look at the following bios for an idea of what a bio should look like:

John Smith (Actor #1) has been performing for local audiences for the last five years,  having won several awards including a Connecticut “Best Actor” prize for his portrayal of Richard Lionheart in THE LION IN WINTER at Long Wharf Theatre. Amongst his favorite roles: Demetrius in A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM, Ben Benjamin in GOD’S FAVORITE and Huck Finn in BIG RIVER. He would like to thank his parents for their support.

Or

Jane Smith (Actor #1) makes her debut on this stage. She has never performed before this production, but has really enjoyed the experience. Jane plays varsity soccer, sings in the folk combo MOCKERY OF BROCCOLI and has recently been working on writing her first screenplay.  She would like to thank the theatre family for welcoming her and hopes to learn more about acting in future shows.

Technician Example

John Smith (Lighting Technician) has played many roles behind the scenes over the last few years. He was Assistant Lighting Technician during last season’s CDA entry THE FOREIGNER, and he has served as Stage Manager for CHICAGO. He has enjoyed the chance to learn a new aspect of the Theatre and has enjoyed working with this cast.  He thanks Mr. Motes for this opportunity and his parents for their patience.

Again,  Thanks so much for everyone's time, talent and a TERRIFIC beginning!
