Scene 5 - Superb Rehearsal

It was a great rehearsal for the Tea-Party scene.  We're almost done with blocking Scene 5, we still have the 6 characters up-front to set up.  But the overall flow and feel are gelling out nicely.

Thanks to all of our players who have already learned most of their lines!  That's awesome - the sooner you all learn your lines, the faster this all comes together.

The Sunday call-sheet will go up Friday, so please keep an eye to this blog for the list.  But know that we are going to rehearse the "I'm Late" song and probably concurrently prepare the "The Golden Afternoon."  Due to confirmation, Sunday's rehearsal will take place in the school's cafeteria.

Keep practicing and singing and reading and rehearsing and smiling.

BIG MEETING SUNDAY!

This is a reminder to all that we have a critical meeting Sunday, Feb. 26th from 2p-6p.

From 2:15-3 we will discuss parent volunteers and technical requirements of the show (costumes, set construction, props, makeup, promotion/sales), from 3-3:45 will be a discussion with all crew (but crew should be there from 2-4 for sign-up.  From 4-6 it will be ensemble and full cast rehearsal.  These times are only guestimates, everything is subject to change (and will).  Also, we will layout a schedule for all rehearsals and rules for attendance.

Please - I cannot not beg/plead/grovel/emphasize enough how important it is that we have a strong parental volunteer team.  Our shows' demand many disciplines and talents that give us our superb production value.  Even though you many not feel you can offer "talent," volunteer for something new, we love to teach and see people do something they never thought they could do.  Everyone has talent - and we'll help you find it.

Additionally, the school's yearbook photo is being taken Sunday.  Players and crew, please wear jeans and a white or black shirt (if you have a Genesians Shirt from last year, wear it).  NO LOGOS can be shown.  Shoes can be anything you'd normally wear.  This is the first thing we'll be doing at the meeting, so be on time!

Great Read Thru!

Seeing as we finished 1 hour early today, I'd say, we were quite well on our way!

You all did really well - read thru's can be very tedious and confusing; and this show was no exception.  I love the songs and the banter.  Please, learn your lines early and keep practicing.

If you need a script (I count 8 more needed), please email me so I get them ASAP.

Our next rehearsal is Wednesday (4p-6p) for primary cast, not ensemble.  Remember, Sunday the 26th is the big meeting for all cast, ensemble and crew.  We'll be ordering the crazy tie-dye T-shirts and paying some dues ($25ea) and shanghaiing parents for volunteer duty.  We will also discuss the rehearsal structure and dates.  Please, everyone be there.

Good Job!
