Rehearsals 2/27/13 & 3/3/13

We had a great (although a long) rehearsal day yesterday. But boy, was it productive. Congratulations to all of the cast who have worked so hard to memorize their lines, learn the songs and remember the dances/choreography. We have all of Act 1 down! Now it is time to move on the the second half of the play, and we even got to start on that yesterday!
Here is the schedule for this coming week:
Wednesday 2/27/13
There will be no practice this Wednesday, 2/27/13 due to Focus 11 happening at the PLC all week.
Sunday 3/3/13
Since Sunday 3/3/13 is the day of Confirmation, we will have practice with a smaller group of principle characters in the cafeteria from 1:30pm to 3:30pm. Those students should come to the back entrance of the school and we will be there to let you in the back gate near the cafeteria.The performers needed Sunday are: Dorothy, The Wicked Witch, The Lion, Tin Man, Scare Crow, The Guard at Oz (Zack Givens).
We will be blocking the remainder of Scene 8 and then Scene 10. Please be sure to bring your scripts and learn your lines in advance if you can.

Rehearsal Schedule for 2/20/13 and 2/24/13

We are pleased with the progress we are making with rehearsals. Can you believe it? We are already rehearsing the first half of the show on Sunday (Full Run Through of Act 1). That said, we want to remind all students that they are to be "off book" (no scripts in hand) for Sunday's rehearsal. Please memorize your lines AND the song lyrics so that you can come prepared to go through the show. If you don't know your lines, you will slow down the rest of the cast, so please MEMORIZE!
Since Sunday's rehearsal will be a long one, we suggest students bring a light snack and something to do for those times when they are not on stage (homework would be a good choice, or reading a book).
Here is the rehearsal schedule for this week:

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20th - Run thru of Act 1
4:00 - 5:30 PM NOTICE THE DIFFERENT TIME
Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tinman, Lion, Wizard, Witch
