0 Comments

 
Please arrive at school by 11:00 AM with the following:
  • Water bottle
  • Lunch -- we won't break for lunch but you can eat on your down time.
  • Snack Script
  • Something quiet to do.
Cast Members should also bring:
  • Dance shoes.
  • Whatever costume pieces costume crew asked you to provide.
  • Black leggings and a tight black tank top.

When you arrive, go straight to the small gym to get your costume and, if you speak in Act 1, a mic. Then meet in the auditorium to get started. As soon as the band arrives at noon, we're running the show. The goal is to be done by 4:00 PM but we'll go later if we're not done.

See you tomorrow!

Rehearsals

This week we start running the entire show, with all cast and all crew every day. Here's the plan:
  • Tuesday, Feb. 18th - Act 2, Scenes 9, 10, 11, 12
  • Wednesday, Feb. 19th - Act 1, Scenes 1, 2, 3, 4
  • Thursday, Feb. 20th - Act 2, Scenes 13, 14, 15, 16
  • Friday, Feb. 21st - Act 1, Scenes 5, 6, 7, 8
Be in your place on stage ready for the curtain to go up by 3:15. We're running the scenes straight through then will take a five minute break so I can speak with the other coaches to plan for trouble-shooting during the remaining time. Everyone is expected to stay until 5:30.
NOTE: If you can't attend a rehearsal you must let Mrs. Knight know, preferably by email. Because we're in the final days before the curtain goes up, unexcused absences could jeopardize your part in the show.

Homework

  • watch the dance videos.
  • write (or type) any lyrics/lines you're not sure of on a piece of paper. Scripts will not be allowed on stage but you can use a "cheat sheet."
