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! :)
