IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT CUE-2-CUE, FINAL DRESS REHEARSAL AND ORDER OF SHOWS…
For the cue-2-cue, please have no actors in the theatre as they will only get in the way of various techies and the lift. Directors should sit in the audience with their scripts and a pencil ready. Have ALL of your music, projections and any other media ready to go. Please, have all of your lighting, Props and set change cues ready as well. The more prepared you are as a director, the easier it will be for everyone. Thanks!

Next Week...

When you get back on Tuesday, you've got to hit the ground running.
All cast members need to be here all the time -- Mr. D and Mr. Moore will assign points to no-shows.
All of your sound and projections need to be into Mr. Harding by Wed. (Colleen and Sam, start nagging)
All of your lighting cues should be written into your scripts before you come in to cue to cue. (See Ms. Houston immediately if you don't know how to put that in writing).
All lines need to be learned (6th period, I am talking to you on behalf of Matt "Full-Bore" Liwosz)

I looked back at the jobs and Ermaz is in charge of the program. So, all of your program info. needs to be into Adrienne and Tess by Friday morning, April 17th at 8 a.m. That way it's in before chorus tour and they have time to lay out two programs and copy them, etc. Ermaz, we will go over this in 2nd period sometime next week.

Directors: What they need from you is the title of your show; a cast/character list; setting/time period listing; a director's note which should contain your inspiration/thoughts on the show - why you wrote it, what your vision/intention was, etc. and any special thanks you might have. You can use old Pennington Drama programs as a model. Each show will get one half of an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper for their program stuff. So, be specific and brief. People in class with me will be graded on their director's note. Seriously.

Sean and Mike will be handling tickets next week. We will take reservations only; more to come on that next week.

Matt and Sarah - make sure all the directors have all the set pieces they need. Talk to Mr. Harding to make sure.

Kacie - likewise with props.

If anyone needs things purchased for them (I only know of sweatshirts/iron ons for Kacie)... Tell me via email by this Monday, April 13th. I will be shopping on that day.

Happy Holidays. LH

lmbo, brb, btw, wtf, totes magoats, brosenberg, etc

1. Darby we need the attendence as soon as you finish it.

2. Tomorrow Mr. D and I will be writing up students that come in late without notes, or that leave practice without permission or don't show up to practice without emailing us

3. We are collecting ipods, iphones, cell phones, MP3 players, gameboys, gamegear, pet rocks, mood rings, tacamocochi, calculator watches, pagers, laptops, dvd players, television watches, portable televisions, itouch, x-ray glasses or any other electronic devices FROM EVERYONE! No exceptions!

4. "No ifs, ands, or buts..do you have it, GUTS!"

character: "wait...what" (insert nervous laugh)

Motivational Quote:
"fifty told me. go 'head switch the style up'...
And if they hate then let 'em hate
and watch the money pile up."

1. Start rehearsing with the stage lights on. I will focus the actors. Mr. D, "It will give it a vibe."

2. We will be playing music in the black box during the warm up in order to focus the actors.

3. and...
