Four days...

Hey kids.
Make sure that Tess and Adrienne have your program stuff, because as of tomorrow during 2nd period, Tess will be starting to work on it. This should include Cast/characters, time period/setting, and a brief paragraph explaining your inspiration, vision, etc. and any special thanks you have.

This week, your actors should run the show as if they are performing for an audience. Do not feed them lines or interrupt them for notes. Please write your notes down and either give them in person, or post them. If you are going to post them, make them appropriate and constructive. They should be using props and be in costume, if possible. Waiting until Thursday to do costumes will be a mistake. Seriously.

Also, get your ticket requests in. Michael will be starting to count numbers during class tomorrow.

Be sure to thank your tech crew, Mr. Moore, Mr. D and Mr. Harding for the long hours they have put in over the past few days. A small thank you will go a long way!!!!!!!

  6. hahaha matt.
    it's INSANE that the clock says 3 days!
    I'm excited to be able to sit back and let them do their thing! That's terrifying but I think we're there...if I truly trust them...I think they'll follow through! At this point, since it's time for the actors to make it happen on their own, the only thing I feel that's left for me to worry about to make happen is possibly practice for the tech crew! I tried to keep it simple? But, probably didn't...I'll be frank. So, I just want them to have the chance to practicing running through the cues. Is that possible? Other than that...I may be too laid back mentally at this point. (But, I'll wait till rehearsal to make that call)

  13. Sasha initiated an impromptu rehearsal on chorus tour. Being the diligent, battle-ready director I am, I swiftly produced a script and began. We soon gathered Don, and Joe eventually joined in. W ran all of their lines. I love my actors.

  14. I am nervous for rehersal tomorrow! I hope all goes well. And I hope our cast brings in their costumes if we didn't have them for them already. Other then that I think it will be fine. Tess and I practiced our spot lights today which went relatively well. We are a little unsteady handwise and the spot light is ten times bigger then I am("Do you need a box to stand on?"-Mr. Harding) but I have faith!

  18. Watch out for the powder inside the mannequin. Andre and I think it might be arsenic or cyanide.

    Andre- check with Mr. Moore/Mr. D and Mr. Harding about how your run went today.
    Sam - I heard yours was fine.

    Tess/Adrienne-I think your practice was great and Mr. Harding built you a box, Ad.
