NW16 Costume Looks (Make-Believe / Papers)


ATTENTION ACTORS (some!)

This should not be new information. But just in case, click HERE to review "looks" for Make-Believe and Papers. Actors, alert Jim and the costumers ASAP about what you can bring in and lend to the show for the run. Obviously, items don't need to be the exact items in the pictures; but look for items that align with the "feel" and "color schemes". Anything brought in needs to be here by Friday. And it will remain here until strike.

NW16 - A Fab Crew


THANK YOU, CREW!!!

I wanted to shout out to our hard working crew members as we lead up to Tech / Dress rehearsals.  I've heard absolute raves from the design team about the level of dedication and willingness to whip this show into shape.  And last evening, I got to witness some of the crew at work and was incredibly impressed with the positive attitude and terrific spirit.  Lighting, sound set-up, and scenic build are on a great track!  I'm also quite pleased with how props / costumes are coming along - there are some very odd requests for this show - loving the progress!

No show shines without those talented people behind the scenes.  

You are appreciated!

NW16 Program Bio Request



NW16:  Monumental
Request for Program Biography

Every single student involved in the show - cast & crew - must pen a 60 word (or less) short biography for the program.  This is to be done in professional format.  The link for the form is HERE - or just follow the directions below.

General Rules:  
60 words or less.  Write in 3rd person.  Keep it about your credits / training.  Keep it pithy.  No jokes. No personal aspirations.  Simple “thank yous”.

Good Example:
Casey Ortiz is a junior and has previously been seen in Little Shop of Horrors as Audrey and was the Stage Manager for The Crucible.  She is also an intern at ACT’s Academy for Young Performers.  She thanks her parents and brother for being a constant support.

Bad Example – DO NOT DO THIS:
I’ve been in a few plays and they were awesome!  My favorite was being Audrey in Little Shop.  I do plays outside of drama at other places.  I hope one day to make it on Broadway and win a Tony.  I’m going for it!  

DEADLINE:  
No later than Monday 11/18
Paste your bio directly into the body of your message and email to:

No late submissions will be accepted.  If late, your bio will read “no bio submitted”.  BUT THAT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.  We will have 100% compliance on this.
