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!
