NW17 - Poster Graphics Anyone?



Hey all,

What will the poster look like?  T-Shirt?

We will quickly be launching the graphics design process for the show.  Before we look for outside professional designers, we want to first see if anyone within our New Works Company would be interested in collaborating with me on this.  If so, you should already have a strong knowledge of software (e.g., Photoshop, etc.) that will achieve our goals...

Please email teen.west.project@gmail.com to let me know if you'd like to take on this project!

NW17 - Power/Internet Outages & Auditions


We begin the auditions / interview process tomorrow, W 2/17.  This will go on as scheduled.

BUT...

If you are dealing with a power / internet outage issue, please do not stress.  We will work it out as needed.  If at all possible, please contact me to let me know you cannot make your appointment due to outages, and we can reschedule.  If texting is the only way to reach me, you can text 503 577-8805 to let me know. Otherwise, please email matthew.b.zrebski@gmail.com.

It is critical that you not use this as "an excuse" to buy more time for your audition / appointment.  If we get too off schedule, it throws everything, so please be honest and only ask for a reschedule is absolutely necessary.

If you have not received an email, it's because I did not get your Intent Form.  Please email immediately, if you think there has been an error.  Otherwise, I'll see you all next week!
