NW14: CREW APPLICATIONS!!!

I am very excited for the Crew opportunities for this production.  I am hopeful we'll get a lot of students who want to be involved in what is going to be a very special show.

Stage Manager Lydia Fecker will be available after school at 3:30p on both tomorrow (Friday) 3/16 and Monday 3/19 to hand out applications and information sheets.  For some positions (ASMs, Leads), brief interviews will be required after school next week at 3:30p.  When you pick up your application from Lydia, you can schedule your interviews.

Look HERE for the information we'll provide in the lobby so you can have it in advance.  Or you can download and go ahead and fill it out.

As always, email me with questions:  matthew.b.zrebski@gmail.com

NOTE: Extended Rehearsal Windows

Due to the myriad conflicts surrounding choir, early spring break trips, and state thespians, I am extending the rehearsal windows for 4 dates on the master calendar.  As I said at the callback audition, this will very likely not affect everyone.  It simply means you need to be prepared to be called late on one of these four dates.  If you are, we will ensure that there is a quiet space for homework after school.

The four dates and extended rehearsal windows are:

Tuesday April 10:  4:00p - 9:30p

Wednesday April 11:  4:00p - 9:30p

Tuesday April 17:  4:00p - 9:30p

Wednesday April 18:  4:00p - 9:30p (Mandatory - see below)

ALSO NOTE:

Wednesday April 18 is now MANDATORY.  

This is based on the current conflict assessment.  Currently, everyone is available that day.  Mark your calendars that you will all be called from AT LEAST 4:00p - 7:30p that day for a full run of the entire show where we watch each other. Some actors may be held until 9:30p.  That has not yet been determined.

Thank you for your flexibility.  As always I will work to make sure as little time is wasted as is possible - and that when you are called, you are actually working.

Thank you once again to all who auditioned - who made this experience so memorable.  After careful consideration, it became obvious that the better decision for 4/14 - to allow the most flexibility in casting - was to make 4/14 primarily a day for the devising ensemble to piece together their work with the playwright and me.  More details about that schedule will come out in the days to come.

REMINDER:  Rehearsals on 3/15 and 3/16 are mandatory and both from 4:00p - 7:00p.  These rehearsals will take place in Room 224.  During these rehearsals we will work through the scripts and allow for group discussion and for playwrights to have the chance to ask questions in preparation for rewrites.  We will also take pictures on Friday 3/16 with Chris Rentzel and collect costume measurements over these days.  AND...we will have all actors fill in their contact information into the master spreadsheet.  

Crew Applications will be available after school on Friday 3/16 at 3:30p.  Also watch the blog for announcements about crew positions.

As always, feel free to email me with questions or concerns.  (matthew.b.zrebski@gmail.com)  

I can't wait to get started!

Callbacks

If you are listed below, you have been invited to the callback audition on:

Wednesday 3/14 from 4:00p - 8:00p

For those not on the list, you are no longer being considered for a role in the show. That said, everyone who came out to generals should be very proud.  It rivals the best of auditions I’ve seen since starting at Lincoln in 2003.  What an amazing day.  I felt very privileged to watch your talent on display.  I hope all who came out will consider participating in the show in some way even if not cast.

Please note - some of you have some really challenging conflicts on your audition forms.  And some of you have listed that you "don't know yet".  You must come into callbacks knowing your conflicts.  And for those who have listed 4/14 as a conflict, your chances of being cast are radically reduced, given that's a mandatory date.  If you think there's a way to reduce your conflicts, this would be the time to do it.  Conflicts will play a large role in my casting decisions.

I look forward to seeing some exciting work as we continue the audition process.

REMINDER: MOVEMENT!

REMINDER

Except for reading the plays, there is nothing to prepare for this audition.  Part of the assessment will be your ability to handle whatever is thrown at you.  Your vocal technique, physical skills, improvisation, and openness to your fellow actors will be key.  This will be a group audition in large and small groupings. Dress in movement clothing and be prepared to work in bare feet.  A positive, supportive, and intensely focused demeanor is important. 

"Movement clothing" means - clothing that allows you to move freely.  No dresses or skirts unless you are also wearing leggings. No low-waisted pants.  I strongly suggest sweats or dance wear. No shoes.  No socks.
