REHEARSAL SCHEDULE -- WEEK OF JANUARY 30TH AND SOME UPDATES

Let the staging begin!

BRAVO for all the incredibly hard work you all did during the month of January. 
You should be VERY proud of yourselves -- Mr. Buno and I couldn't be happier! 

As a company of Actors/Musicians/Technicians, we have accomplished SOO much in just one month! 

We have.....

• assembled a phenomenal cast.  We are incredibly pleased with each and every one of you. You have worked hard during rehearsals and been polite to one another and to the adults you are working with.
• sung through all the major components of the score
• played through the first act of the score -- (Thanks Mr. Gahm....musicians, you guys sound GREAT!!!!!)
• designed the set (Thanks Mr. Valley!)
• begun construction on major set pieces and details
• designed the costumes and put together style guides
• began fitting and pulling the costumes and creating costume plots for each individual character
• designed hair and make-up -- complete with style guide sheets
• cleaned and organized the booth
• collected most of the bios for the program
• began photographing folks for the program (Yay Amanda V!)
• had design meetings for the program and the posters
• created a rough prop list and put this into an excel spread sheet
• begun collection and creation of many prop pieces
• begun to work on characterization through vocal techniques for both ensemble and principal players
• begun to work on choreography

Most importantly, we have begun to work together as a unified company and this in and of itself is huge accomplishment!  MANY thanks to TAPS who have fed us and who are doing so much behind the scenes work to keep us all going -- please be sure to thank the parents who do so much.

The other incredible gem of this production so far has been your Stage Manager.  Believe me when I tell you that we are so lucky to have such an incredible, dedicated and focused person leading our team.  Thank you, Jake.

So excited for this week as we start to map out the staging for the production!  We will really begin to see the entire story take shape from here on in.

Attendance

Hi everyone,

Congratulations on getting through mid-terms week successfully! Can you believe it is Semester 2  already?

A gentle reminder to everyone about how important REGULAR ATTENDANCE is to our production, our program and our process. It is really disrespectful to the entire company to miss rehearsal without an important reason -- especially if you have not spoken to us about your conflicts.   A few of you have missed 1/4 or more of rehearsal time since we began in the beginning of the month.  If you are having a difficult time maintaining your commitment to this production, Mr. Buno and I would like to speak with you.  It is important when we have conflicts to not only inform your stage manager, but to inform your directors as well.  We count on your attendance to ALL REHEARSALS to make our production the best that it can be.   Please contact us if you have missed 4 or more rehearsals.  We love having EVERYONE involved with the production, but as we move forward, we need greater attention to consistent and regular attendance.

Thank you.
