Howdy everyone!  

 

I hope all is well with you all!  If you didn't catch Pinocchio you didn't get to see our very own Zoe as a Can-Can Doll.  She did a GREAT job!  

 

Well, it's that time!  It's time for everyone's favorite pre-holiday holiday festivity...FAKESGIVING.  Below, you should find a calendar invite to the event.  It always falls on the Wednesday BEFORE Thanksgiving.  This year it will be Wednesday, November 27, 2013 beginning at 6:00 pm.  That's exactly 10 (TEN) days from now.  It is VERY important that you RSVP with how many you expect to bring with you.  The house fills up fast and Monique wants to be sure there are plenty of seats (and food) for everyone!!!

 

This is the information (from the FB Event, which is Invite Only... this is the link in case you are somehow able to find it on FB - I don't know how these things work - https://www.facebook.com/events/1429909890556887/

 

From Monique: It's that time again! Actually a little late...I've been kinda busy. So you know the drill...Come one come all, the only requirement is that I know for sure who is coming(how many), that is really important so that I know how many places to set. Bring only your appetite :) and maybe a game if you want to.

 

 

Well, that's it!  Please consider stopping by if you can!

Re: Cast Party Friday after the show.

Hello everyone!

First, let me say thank you to each and every one of you for the awesome gift. I really appreciate it!  Thank you also for making the show the success that it was!  

Second, if you want to buy the video, you need to let Terry Hoffman know ASAP so that arrangements can be made. His number is: (678) 378-0455. 

(Terry, I think your flashlight may still be at the theatre.). 

Third, if you're in town, I hope to see you at STG's end of the year party!!!  It's this Saturday, August 3, 2013. 

You're all the best!!! 

Jared

Third, Don't forget, you have to be there at 1:30 tomorrow.  Alexia will be there at noon (?), I will be there at 1:00 (or sooner if I can get motivated and alive enough to leave sooner).  

And then... one last thing...

Admittedly, I've been at war with myself.  Part of me wants to just say, we're here, let's just enjoy the show for what it is and so on… Then there's the other part of me that really wants things to be the best that they can be – and I hope you feel this way too – so, that said…here are a few more notes. 

PLEASE read over these and try your best to fix the things you can fix…

Lines after all shook up need to be faster.

Why was there a leather jacket in act two?
Can the special lights (on clown and funhouse) not go out during a little less conversation?
Natalie give your hat to your dad during Fools Fall In Love
Remember to throw your bouquets offstage/behind you… 
There shouldn't be a leather jacket for act two.
Why did the carnival lights go out?
Carnival lights out before if I can dream.
The traveler keeps opening onto the funhouse mirror.
Cast if you see the traveler in front of any set piece and it shouldn't be, nonchalantly fix it please.
React more when earl reveals love for Matilda

In general everyone needs to look like they're having more fun.  Keep up the energy from start until finish. 
Jarrett please stop whispering.

For everyone who needs this note: PROJECT!!! DO NOT count on the mics to always pick you up. 

Is there anyone left who can help Krystle pin her hat on for the wedding?
Don't rush that's alright
Sean don't change the blocking for That's Alright.  Stay Stage Right of Lorraine. It makes the scene awkward if you don't.
Mark don't prat fall or trip, it looks forced.

Everyone… please don't slouch.  It just looks sloppy.  Stand tall and proud. 

If mistakes are to be made, make them with confidence. 

Always be confident in what you're doing.

THINK during the dances, but don't show it on your face. 

EVERYONE should be singing when it's time to sing.  No one should just be backstage chilling.  There's a time and a place for that. 

HAVE FUN!!!

My last e-mail to you as director of All Shook Up...

Well folks, we're down to our last show.  As I've stated before, I am very proud of you and thankful that you were a part of this family. 

I want you all to have a lot of fun out there this afternoon, but please do NOT do anything to compromise the integrity of this show.  To those of you who are considering doing something different today, please do not.  This audience deserves the same great show that everyone else saw.  And if that doesn't sway you, please consider that your creative staff worked hard to put the visual aesthetic of this show together.  More times than not, there is a rhyme and/or reason for everything that is done on stage.  For you to change that, you're essentially slapping all of us in the face and saying that you don't care about the time we spent putting it all together.  Not to mention, if you aren't in the correct place for things like dances, you end up throwing everything off.  We really don't need that.  Instead of focusing on what you can do differently, please spend the time and effort on making sure the dances, lines, songs, blocking, etc... are perfect!  Be where you're supposed to be and do what you're supposed to do.  Please :)   

Reminder, if you want to get a copy of the DVD that is being made, you need to fill out the form that is backstage with your name, address, e-mail address, phone number, etc... so that they can get in touch with you when it's finished.  You also need to provide the $15.00 cost to produce the DVD.  

Also, as I've been stating for a while, tomorrow night after the show is strike.  Be sure to help out, even if it's only for a short while.  We need to get it all taken down.  Then, after the strike, we need to do something as our last time together.  We can talk about it before the show tomorrow.  There have been lots of suggestions to go somewhere to eat.  Tyrone and Peachtree City have been mentioned.  I am fine with all of the above.  We can also consider staying at the theatre, but if we do that, we'll need to find a way to get food there.  If you're worried about money, transportation, etc... we can discuss all of this tomorrow.  

Thank you again.  This show couldn't have happened without the dedication and hard work you've put into it.  

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! :) 

Jared  

The Last Weekend of All Shook Up

Well, here we are...rapidly approaching our last weekend.  It seems like it's really flying by, which makes me sad.  Everyone, please look over your lines, your blocking, your choreography, your songs...come in this weekend and let's make this one the best yet!  I know it will be.  

From a Box Office stand point, let everyone know that Sunday is filling up, so if they plan to attend the Sunday performance, they need to go ahead and get their tickets now.  The rest of the weekend looks pretty open from what I understand.  Try to get people to come on either Friday or Saturday, if at all possible.  

We will take a cast picture before the show on Friday.  Please be there as early as possible and get into costumes and make-up ASAP.  With mic checks, warm ups and so on, we won't have a ton of time to do the cast photo, so every minute counts.  

As for Set Strike Night (a,k.a. closing night).  Remember, everyone needs to contribute some time to taking down the set, putting props away, putting costumes away, cleaning the backstage, auditorium and front of house areas to be sure it's ready for Smoke on the Mountain, which goes up VERY quickly after we close.  The more people we have working to get things put away, cleaned and straightened, the less time we have to spend.  Does anyone want to go eat afterwards?  Or ???  We can bring food and have a final cast party at the theatre if everyone wants to.  Just let me know. 

Does anyone have photos of the show or rehearsals or what not?  I'd like access to them, if possible.  I didn't take many pictures throughout the process of putting on ASU.  Beth is going to bring her camera in this weekend and I'll try to get some show photos this weekend.  One way or another, these will be posted so that you can all have them.  I'll also be sure the cast photo(s) is/are posted as well.  

Everyone, I really am very proud of you and I have enjoyed working with all of you.  I hope that we can all stay in touch and maybe work together again in the future.  This is truly a great show!  

See you all Friday by 7:00 pm.    

Re: Cast Party Friday after the show.

I will have a taco bar and ice cream bar...can't wait to see all of you!!!!

Monique

Hi there, Beth (bnicholson@camga.com) wants to share some files in a folder called "All Shook Up Photos" with you via Dropbox. View folder Enjoy! - The Dropbox Team © 2013 Dropbox

A message from Olivia...

Cast: Everything I've heard about your rehearsals since last I worked with you makes me SO PROUD! I'm so sad I don't get to see your finished product, but I have confidence that each and every one of you is going to shine! Remember to warm up your voices, "sing out, Louise", and most importantly... Have FUN! Break aallllll the limbs tonight!

Love,

Olivia

Christian City Rehearsal...

The audience loved the show...and what a great audience they were!  The main comments I got were that Act I was slow and seemed to drag.  This can be fixed by going over your lines and saying them more quickly.  This doesn't mean that you need to speed through your lines, but a majority of them could stand to be delivered faster.  Another thing that will help is to have more energy throughout.  Every time you are on stage it shouldn't be/appear/etc...like you're bored or that you're just going through the motions.  Keep it fresh.  

Everyone, if you haven't already, please give Jill a couple of bucks for the water.  Thank You Jill for getting the water for us. 

Each night you do the show it gets better and better.  You're all finally discovering your characters and having fun with the show and it shows.  Keep up the good work.  

My notes went from 4-5 pages over the last few rehearsals to only one page.  Please look over  the notes and try to fix anything that needs to be fixed.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to let me know. 

THANK YOU!

Jared

Just because...

Tech rehearsal started at 2. Everyone is supposed to be here. Everyone is very required by 6.

Parking and Signing In...

Starting tomorrow night park in the back of the theatre.  The back door will be open.  Either just before you come down the stairs or just before you come into the dressing rooms, there will be a sign in sheet.  Be sure to put a check or "x" mark beside your name so that we know you are here.  If you are not here, you will be called, unless we know that you aren't going to be there.  This is starting tomorrow... NOT tonight.  

Also, there will be a sign-in sheet for cleaning up.  Everyone needs to sign up for at least one night.  People who miss their night or are especially bad between now and then will be assigned to multiple nights.  

This is what needs to be cleaned (if each of you is considerate of these things, then it shouldn't be difficult to clean up when it's your turn):

 

1. All trash is to be picked up from the counter and around all seating and dressing areas.  This includes paper products and water bottles and so on.

2. Each Sunday (or before if necessary) all trash from the dressing areas and the restrooms at the top of the stairs must be taken out.  

3. All make-up must be in its place.  

4. All costumes are to be hung up in the correct place(s).  

5. All props are to be put back in place.  

6. Mirrors and counters should be wiped down. 

7. Paper towels and the like should be restocked in the dressing areas and the restrooms.  

8. If the trash is taken out, replace it with a new trash bag. 

9. On Sunday, vacuum unless it isn't needed.  

10. Other responsibilities to be added by the Stage Managers or Directors if necessary. 

COMP Tickets

As you may or may not know, you will all receive two (2) comp tickets.  

These have to be used during the first weekend of the performances.  

They can/will not be allowed beyond the first weekend.  This means that you can use them for Thursday, Friday, Satruday or Sunday of the first weekend.

The person you give them to will need to make reservations either by calling the box office (770-969-0956) or going to www.stgplays.com and looking for reservations.  Be sure to have them put "COMP TICKETS" in the special instructions section. 

Once the reservations have been made and confirmed, they will need to bring the comp tickets with them to the show.  The comp tickets are essentially their payment to get into the show, so they must be present.  If the comp tickets aren't present they will be charged for their tickets that evening.  If you are providing the tickets to the Box Office on their behalf, the tickets need to be there before Box Office opens that evening.  

**NO cast member is allowed to be in the lobby after Box Office opens.  

Opening Night Gala.  Encourage your comp ticket users to come on opening night.  We will provide free snacks and drinks for our opening night patrons.  

Also, while we cannot tell you how to use your comp tickets, what works well and "spreads the love" is to give one to a couple and the other to another couple so that their tickets are 1/2 off each rather than giving two to one couple.  Just saying.

You'll receive your comp tickets soon.  

Any questions?  Comments?  Concerns?  

Let me know...

THANK YOU!

Jared

STG - All Shook Up - Lateness, Start times and Reminders...

Everyone...it's disconcerting at this point of the rehearsal process that anyone in the cast would just not show up to rehearsal.  It's just as disconcerting that you wouldn't send me a message or call to let us know that you were going to be late.  Folks this is REALLY frustrating.  Not only that, but it's disrespectful.  And no, e-mailing the day after to say, sorry you didn't get my message - when it's more likely that you didn't even send one in the first place isn't acceptable.  Please be considerate and let us know.  If I can't trust you to be there when you need to be there, you're not going to get any spotlight moments in the show.  There are still a few left to pass out.  

As Andrew mentioned on Facebook...if you aren't a part of the group, let us know and friend us so that we can add you...we start at 7, so you should be there and ready to go before 7.  Not 7:15 ,7:20 or later.  There is a lot to do, so be there earlier if you can be.  

Remember... Tomorrow night...Thursday, June 27, 2013, you need to bring a black shirt with no writing and no tank tops for headshots; make-up if you wish to get made up...and we'll do a costume parade so you'll need all costume pieces that you are responsible for providing.  Bring something to write with (which you should always have with you anyway...) in case you are asked to provide anything else.  

Our very own Stephanie Becham will be taking headshots for us.  Thank you, Stephanie.  

I'm sure there's more, but this is all I can think of at the moment.  My brain shut off hours ago. 

Bios...

My Dearest Cast and Crew, 

Please stop making me ask you 1 billion times for things like this. :)  Thank you ever so much.  

They're due yesterday.  Please turn them in to me if you haven't already.  I will print the program information and bring it with me to the theatre so that you can all proof them one last time.  Look over the entire program to be sure that everything is correct.  We'll have our proof readers look it over and then away to print it will go.  This is going to be one gigantic program. :)  

Remember, you can use the form at the bottom of the blog.  It's easy.  Just fill in the blanks, then hit submit.  It will send it directly into a spreadsheet in my google drive.  I can then (also easily) transfer it to the program.  

Easy peasy.  

Thanks all, 

Jared

Photos Thursday

For Thursday you will need to bring a black shirt for headshots.  NO tank tops and NO lettering on the shirt.

We will also be taking more character shots, so after you've had your headshots taken, please change into your casual outfits.  Once we've taken a couple of photos in the casual outfits, we'll take a few in our wedding outfits.

Be sure you have all appropriate clothing with you.

Let's get this taken care of ASAP so that we can move on.  There's lots to do.

Photos tonight

We're going to try and get some photos tonight. Once you get fitted into a costume keep it on. Also, if you don't already have the type of shoes you're asked to wear during the show, see if you can find some upstairs. :) Thanks all.

Costume pieces in by Tuesday

If anyone has clothes from their own closets that they are planning to wear in the show, please bring them to the theater no later than Tuesday so that we can assess what is still missing.

Women in the ensemble - I will be at the theater Monday night to get you all into dresses we have at the theater.  (fingers crossed there is one for everyone)

Men in the ensemble - I have shirts for you to try on.  If you have pants of your own you can wear that would be helpful.

JailHouse Rock Costumes

Reminder to the folks in Jail House Rock

gals - your costume will be black tank tops, striped skirts, ankle socks and black character shoes.  Please bring your black tank WIDE strapped tank tops to rehearsal Monday so that I can make sure they look ok together.


guys - Your costume will be black slacks, white t-shirts, white socks and black loafers (preferably penny loafers).  If you have any of these items of clothing in your own closets please bring them to rehearsal Monday for me to see, so I know what we are still missing.

Help!!! We need shoes!

As I am sure you are aware from the script, eventually everyone in the show will be wearing "blue suede shoes"  We plan to paint old shoes blue to get the look, but we are trying to save money on our budget so if anyone has old shoes they don't mind us painting, or can donate to the theater that would be appreciated. 


Please bring them to rehearsal Monday!!

FYI...

Alexia Barrett will be at the theatre today starting at 2:00 pm.  If you can be there, you should go.  

Also, you need to be sure you're going over your blocking, lines, music and dance during any free time (I know, I know) in those times in between.  

We don't have time to keep going over things we've already covered, so just be sure!  

Remember:  We can't learn your lines, blocking, choreography, music, etc.. for you!  :)  

That said, you should have seen how wonderful the dances are looking.  

Just keep up the hard work!!! 

Thanks everyone! 

Tonight.

Everyone be there or be square.

If you walk, you need to find alternate ways to get to the theatre. You can't just not come because its raining.

Also, you really need to stay until we are finished each night.

Thanks everyone!!!

The Kind of car I thought Matilda would own.

Next Week - "Putting it All Together" week...

This week, expect to work until 10:00; although we reserve the right to end earlier if possible. :)

This schedule is subject to change.

MONDAY, 06/17/2013: Everyone is required!

• We are going to start with another fast read/sing/stumble through to refresh your memories on the script.  I will record this so that everyone can listen to it and perhaps use it to help you with learning lines.  Which, I hope you've been attempting to do while away from the blocking rehearsals.

• From what I understand, we will have Erica, who will be our Musical Stager (choreography for solo songs, duets, etc...) this night.  She can see where we are and then get some ideas.  

• After the read/sing/stumble through, we will split up.  The majority of the cast will be on stage working with Monique and Alexia on Choreography and Erica and I will pull people aside to work on Musical Staging.   

TUESDAY, 06/18/2013: Everyone stay tuned.  More than likely NOT everyone will be required!

• We will work on Choreography for the smaller numbers this evening.  We will let you know on Monday who will be needed and then I will update the blog to let you know who needs to be here as well.  I will also be working on the smaller scenes with the various leads.

WEDNESDAY, 06/19/2013: Chad, Natalie, Dennis, Sandra, Dean, Lorraine, Sylvia, Jim and Select Ensemble Members...

• We will work on Musical Staging.  I'll try to set it up so that we let people go as we're through with them, instead of having to keep everyone all night.  

• We will also work on music.  Schedule TBA. 

THURSDAY, 06/20/2013: Everyone is required!

• Run as much of the show as possible 

FRIDAY, 06/21/2013: Everyone is required!

• We are working on Music ONLY all night.  

• Please be sure you're paying attention, participating and becoming very familiar with this music.  We are limited on our time to learn everything. :)  

Wednesday Night Music Rehearsal...

The focus will be on Heartbreak Hotel and then when that is finished, you will go over everything that you've learned up to that point.

The recordings from the last two nights will be up on the Dropbox site within the next hour or so.

Thanks everyone for all of your hard work.  You've been great.  I know it's not easy to rehearse so much and under normal circumstances I wouldn't ask you to, but since we are trying to put up a full-scale musical in the span of time a play with no music or choreography would get, it's just difficult.  Seriously, thank you all for being so dedicated and wonderful to work with. :)

Jared

Choreography Help...

Anyone who has some free time during the day and want help with choreography, Alexia is available to help.  You can reach her by calling/texting her: 404-376-9423 or e-mailing her: alexiaaliettebarrett@gmail.com.

Music Night 1

Seems like a lot of ground was covered last night and what I heard was sounding really good.  

Be sure to check out the shared Drop Box folder.  I couldn't put them (1 before and 1 after the break) on Facebook or the Blog because of the size.  Theoretically, you should be able to save them to your computer and then burn them onto a CD if you wish.  You can input them into iTunes if you prefer.    

Be sure to listen to and practice with them.  I'll also try to get warm-ups tonight so that you can use that to warm-up to on the way to the theatre. 

See you tonight! 

Jared

Work Call 06/08/2013 - THANK YOU!

I am beyond thrilled at the number of people at work call today.  We got a lot done.  THANK YOU to everyone who was there.  Also, those of you who weren't there missed out on some delicious doughnuts.  Just sayin'.  Between that and the awesome Mexican lunch, I feel as though I need to spend the rest of tonight on the treadmill.

Again, THANK YOU to everyone who showed up.  If you didn't sign in, you don't get credit for it in the program, so be sure to sign in and let me know if you forgot to.

See you tomorrow for the first night of Music Boot Camp :)

Jared.
