ALERT!!! - Big Schedule Revision



Unfortunately, we have found ourselves in a position where, due to some unforeseen and misunderstood issues, the lighting set up for the show is going to take much longer than anticipated. 

As a result, the entire tech process for actors and crew has been canceled 2/10 - 2/14. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week will now be mostly just actor rehearsals plus costume parade.

This puts us in a very tight situation where it's going to take huge dedication on the part of the entire team to reach opening night with the level of sophisticated execution that everyone has come to expect in the 20 years of this festival. 

Rather than allow ourselves to go to a place of panic, I ask that all go into problem solving mode and dedicate themselves to taking care of their jobs with utmost proficiency. If we all get our own work done, then when we all do come together, we can do so successfully. 

Here is the adjusted actor / crew schedule now through opening. This does not include lighting installation calls which have been individually communicated. For where it says "Select Crew", T and the SMs will be contacting crew members to see who is available.

If anyone has conflicts with this, please email me ASAP - but before you do that, please try to work it out...

The current rehearsal calendar has us scheduled to rehearse on MLK Day M 1/15. This was an error on my part. We are now going to eliminate that rehearsal, but add F 1/19 (3:45p - 7:00p).

If you have any conflicts on F 1/19 from 3:45p - 7:00p, please email them to me no later than this coming Friday, 1/5 at 9:00p.  As always, email me at: teen.west.project@gmail.com.
