Friday 4/8 Reminders!

#1:  POTLUCK!

For our marathon Friday, please bring snacks to be shared.  Finger foods work best.  Though some desserts are fine, think healthier please!  Lean proteins, whole grains, fruits, veggies!  Because of the children's theatre workshop, the food will need to be set up in one of the dressing rooms. People can go in and out and snack throughout the day.  There will also be an hour break from 12:45p - 1:45p.  

#2:  FEES!

If you have not paid your fee, please bring your check for $75.  Payable to LHS Drama.  If the fee is presenting a financial challenge, please talk to Jim Peerenboom to work out a plan.

Script Revisions!

Click HERE for the latest script revisions.  

-The cast of Engine will have copies provided.  

-Bearing the Blaze has not changed since last rehearsal, so the cast is all set.

-To the cast of Warning Sign:

As promised at the last rehearsal, Alexandre has noted revisions in the script.  Yellow means "change".  Blue means "addition".  Red/strike means cut. It is your responsibility to study the new script and note the revisions in your current draft.  We are not going to print new copies. Please do this by your next rehearsal.

Thanks!

Schedule Update for Friday 4/1

UPDATED

Friday 4/1

4:00p - 6:00p

Called:  Warning Sign* (no Barrett, no Ava)

Agenda:  Read through rewrites++

*India, this rehearsal is optional for you, given the verbal changes don't require you to read.  But you are more than welcome to come and offer feedback and participate.

++The changes are extensive and will require another reprint of the entire script.  So get ready to highlight!  Again!  :)

VE Rehearsals 1-2

Please note the times carefully as they change slightly from day to day.  You have NO EXCUSE for not knowing when things begin and end.  I will always honor release times, so you and your families can count on the "end time" being the actual "end time".  Note that April 6 was added to replace the now canceled March 30.  Various conflicts and other allowances made this necessary.
