Macstop! and Stuff!

Stuff 1

Due to unforeseen college-related conflicts that affect her availability to particulate in tech rehearsals, Emma Nash has had to withdraw from our production.  The conflict is unfortunate, but I completely understand her need to pursue her college career.  I thank her for her time and dedication and wish her the very best in her endeavors.  Ava Sweet will be stepping into the role of Eliza for Macstop!  I'm thrilled she's willing to jump into the process.  And I have no doubt everyone will welcome her and help her catch up.

Stuff 2

This situation brings up the need to remind people that all rehearsal/tech/dress/performance/strike times from 2/13 - 3/13 are mandatory per the contracts you and your guardians all signed.  "Mandatory" means mandatory.  Emergencies certainly come up, and I will consider them should they arise, but in general, you must make the choice to put this production #1 from 2/13 to 3/13.  

Stuff 3

Another challenge today is that we have a sick cast member who will not be able to attend Macstop! rehearsal.  That said, Macstop! will still meet at 5:30p as scheduled this afternoon so as to allow Ava to get her blocking.  We will also look at other moments as we can.  It's an exercise in flexibility!

Reminder: When Snow Attacks...

If you read forecasts and get alerts, you may know that there's a possibility of up to a foot of snow by Monday morning.  There is also the potential that nothing more than rain will happen.

Just a reminder that when school is cancelled, we are cancelled.  And we will not adjust the schedule, but move forward as it's written.  In this way, you can plan accordingly. Let me know if you have questions.

And...let's all do the "no snow" dance right now!

2/3 Cancelled

PPS has closed buildings today.  And although there is a possibility that "evening activities" will continue as planned, there's no clear information on how that affects us, given the afternoon start times.  Because of the unknowns and the fact that PPS will not make firm decisions until mid-afternoon, we are canceling rehearsal to allow people to plan the rest of their day and prevent any confusion.

Thank you for your patience.  Enjoy a post-finals day off.  Stay tuned for upcoming schedules.

BUILD CREW!!!

from your stage manager:

ATTENTION: BUILD CREW NEEDED

We need  your help to help set the stage for Lincoln High School’s 13th Annual New Works Festival, Superstition! Build crew is a great way to get involved with the theater program here at Lincoln, as well as earn incentive points and getting to work with a great deal of fantastic people! For anyone who isn’t sure how they feel about being involved in theater, this is a great place to start.

Build crew will be responsible for helping construct the intimate seating arrangement in the auditorium, as well as helping with other technical set-ups such as light hang.

Build crew members will be needed this coming Sunday 2/5 from 10:00AM to 5:00PM in the auditorium to help out, as well as the following weekend 2/11 and 2/12 from 10:00AM to 5:00PM. Light hangs will also happen on 2/15, 2/16, and 2/17 if needed, and again the following week on 2/21 and 2/22.

URGENT: Sunday Build 2/5

ALERT

The Saturday 2/4 load-in has been cancelled due to a lack of available labor.  However, we are going to still hold a Sunday 2/5 load-in from 10a - 5p.  This is critical if we are to remain on schedule.

We are asking that any and all Lincoln Drama Department students and parents along with the cast and crew contribute as much time as possible that day.

Please RSVP as soon as possible to Jim Peerenboom and let him know when you can come in and when you will leave between 10a - 5p on 2/5.

Email: jpeerenb@pps.net 

Another round of load-in will happen on 2/11 and 2/12 - details coming soon.

Thank you for your help!

RE: The Next Schedule

I know people are awaiting the next schedule.  Because there is now the possibility that inclement weather may force cancellations of after school activities on Thursday and all activities on Friday, I cannot publish the schedule until we see what happens the rest of this week.  If cancellations are necessary, it will greatly impact the process as we will then have to look at make-up rehearsals.  What this would mean is that some rehearsals would go later than originally anticipated (likely to 7:00p) and there would be the potential for an added weekend rehearsal.

Bottom line:  hold tight and thanks for your patience.
