Special thanks to: Brian and Kim deZavala, and ScreenWorks USA for their AMAZING work!

Last Rehearsals Update and Calls (CAST ONLY)

I'll try to keep these last few emails succinct: 

Cast & Crew, and parents - we are on our last 2 weeks 'til show nights.  We have a series of CRITICAL rehearsals coming up that require ALL CAST (main players & ensemble) to attend.  Just like any sports finals, this is our Play-Off weeks and expect everyone to participate.  Any no-shows (unexcused) will be dismissed - we cannot afford nor allow anyone to inhibit our production schedule.

We still have a lot to learn (but WITHOUT scripts or music with vocal reference), we need to be focused, attentive, and responsive to remember these last few directions.

THURSDAY 4/12 - optional, but fun :: (ALL CAST, not crew) We are having a less formal get together "Lunch-to-Learn-Your-Lines" in the school's cafeteria from 11a-3p.  We will practice lines, sing our songs, and snarffle pizza.  No scripts - but this is where you can forget lines and WE help you along.  Please reply if you can make it or not.

SUNDAY 4/15 - CRITICAL :: (ALL CAST, CREW To Be Announced) Full Run-Through 1:30p-5:30p.  T-Shirts to be handed out AFTER rehearsal!

-        ALL costume fees due on Sunday.  If you do not know what you owe – email Mrs. Montz at montzie@gmail.com

-        ALL ad requests for the program due Friday, April 20^th.  (see attached form)

-        NEED PARENT VOLUNTEERS for these last few rehearsals (and others coming up).  Please reply if/when you can be available .  I will notify who we select to help.

Final Countdown - "Built-In Hold"

Thank you all Cast Members for attending the meeting yesterday and listening so well.  I'll only say this once more time: It's in your hands.  The path to success for the show resides in you - be serious, listen, know your lines & songs, and have a good time.  That's your recipe.

But all that said - it really is crunch-time.  The Beus and Montzes have given you all the lessons to some awesome dance numbers.  They've done their work, now it your turn.  Work with each other, lift each other up.  If you make a mistake, ask for help for us or your friends.

I know you'll all shine when you hit the stage - believe in yourselves, in your fellow cast members, your diligent crew, and the many volunteers there to see you succeed.

Happy Easter and have a great Spring Break (study, read, sing).

Critical Meeting Wednessay!

We will be holding a critical meeting for the CAST right as school lets out in the PLC.  Just run over to the theatre for a quick discussion and update.  This is VERY important - regarding final schedule, missed practices, and our last 2 weeks of rehearsals.

I know it's the start of Spring Break - but please, I'm only asking for 30 minutes MAX.  I'm not a demanding person - but this is the final cut meeting.  I'm going to decide what's in the play, and whom.

Please, ALL CAST, be there... then it's off to Spring Break (I'm headed to Typhoon Lagoon myself and I'm staying there 'til I look like a California Grape!)
