Volunteer Sign-up

Every family is required to sign up for at least two volunteer spots. There are many open spots and we need all the volunteer spots in order to make the shows happen.  www.SignUpGenius.com/go/10C0C4CADA62DA2F94-charlottes

If you plan to volunteer backstage, you must have a backstage pass. If you have experience with lights and/or sound please contact me before signing up for one of those slots. 

Background Check

Please follow the link to complete your background check. You will need a background check if you plan to go backstage at all. This includes: backstage volunteer, bringing food to your child, helping with a costume change, dressing room volunteer, lights & sound http://pctcharlottesweb.blogspot.com/p/backstage.html

Cast Picture Wall

Kari Perkins will be collecting a 4x6 color head shot (No Frame) with actors name at bottom from every cast member to be included on the Cast Picture Wall she is creating in the Black Box for the shows. She would like them to her by the start of Tech Week. See the example below.

Tech

We are two weeks away from tech. Everyone is required to attend every night of tech. (I know I have a few that had pre-approved conflicts during tech.) During tech will run the show with lights, sounds, set and props. There will be an ON night cast and OFF night cast each night. Everyone is doing the spider dance on their OFF night. Those that are OFF night should be sitting the audience while their double is on stage to hear the notes given on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday and Thursday everyone will be asked to stay backstage. The tech schedule runs as follows:

Monday, 9/14 6-9pm- Closing cast ON, Opening cast OFF

Tuesday, 9/15 6-9pm- Opening cast ON, Closing cast OFF

Wednesday, 9/16 6-9pm- Closing cast ON, Opening cast OFF

Thursday, 9/17 6-9pm- Opening cast ON, Closing cast OFF

Everyone needs to bring all their costumes every night of tech and shows. The best way to do this is to bring everything in a small laundry basket or tub. Please label everything; basket, costumes, water bottles. The Black Box green room is small, so please take that in consideration when pick out a basket. 

Task Calendar

Rehearsal 

All rehearsal will now be off-book. Please have your actor know their lines, blocking, entrance and exits before arriving at rehearsal. It is very important that your kids attend rehearsals, and if they have a conflict please let me know.  Your child is really going to have to rely on their doubles to catch up when a rehearsal is missed. Also, remember to bring water/snack and to wear comfortable shoes (no open toed shoes, flip flops or crocs).
