Ticket Sales and Closing Weekend!

Hey all!

First - what a truly marvelous opening weekend we had.  I am so proud of the work.  The show came together beautifully, and the show grew night to night; you have all displayed a huge amount of integrity - and that is the #1 goal.  CONGRATS!!!

Second - Ticket Sales!  Truth be told, they were a bit disappointing.  With this number of students and families involved in the show - it's hard to understand how we can't get to 96 patrons each night.  But what's more concerning is that, perhaps, people have all waited to see the show until closing weekend. And this always results in chaos at the box office as we have to turn people away.  

PLEASE TAKE TIME TO DO THIS:

For every single person you know who wants to see the show, urge them to purchase their tickets online NOW.  Do not wait.  For families wanting to make sure they have tickets for any of the three remaining shows, purchase your tickets online NOW.  Do not wait.   Wouldn't it be awesome to simply sell out in advance?

I hope you have a good few days off!

MAKE UP!!!

ACTORS:

All female actors should bring in street make up.  For the show, we will try variations of this.  (India will have her own special treatment which crew will work on with her tomorrow.)  Female actors should also bring in various hair accessories to make sure hair can be styled to be out of the face.

Male actors need to have brown eye liner for their bottom lids.

The following actors also need translucent face powder:  Olivia F, Alex D-S, Barrett, Ben P., Ryan.

Make-up will not be required for Sunday (India will be in make up) but will be required for Monday and on.  That said, if you have make up, go ahead and use it on Sunday.  If you need assistance getting any of these items, please notify stage management during tech tomorrow.

Street Clothes!

CAST ALERT!

There will be intros and interludes as part of this production with minor text that introduces each play.  Most of the cast will be involved with this at some level.  This will be integrated on Sunday and Monday during the tech/dress.

You will need to wear street clothes for these moments.  And those can change night to night.  But there are some rules:  no logos or text, no flip flops, no extreme heels, no hats, no bare feet.

Also in preparation for this, keep in mind the following:

INTRODUCTION / Into Bearing the Blaze

This will feature the casts of Engine and Warning Sign (no Alex).  This means the actors in Engine will change into their costumes during Bearing the Blaze. 

INTERLUDE - into Engine

INTERMISSION
