Week 3- Weekly Update

Great rehearsal this week!  Keep going over lines and blocking that you have already learned. We are about 3 weeks away from being off-book. 

Please make sure you are reading all of the weekly posts so you don’t miss any important information. Tuition is due in full this Wednesday, 8/12.

T-Shirts

Forms and payment are due on Wednesday! You can turn in your t-shirt order forms to Kim Hankins or myself. We would like to collect cash or checks payable to Kim Hankins so that the money can right to our t-shirt vendor. Any surplus t-shirt money will go directly to set and props budget.

Performance Schedule

I have sent the tentative schedule out. Please look it over and let me know if I missed any conflicts. I will post when the schedule is finalized. 

Tickets
Cast will be able to purchase only their 8 required tickets and request their 4 comps before tickets go on sale online on Friday, 8/14. You can turn in the ticket order form and payment to Shelly or Danielle on Wednesday. Once tickets go online feel free to purchase as many as needed.

Playbill

Email Deena your actor’s bios and head shot at dline_harvanek@yahoo.com. The headshot doesn’t have to be professional. It can be a school picture or a picture you have taken. Bios and headshots are due by 9/2. She will also be collecting applause ads, more details to be posted.

Costumes

Continue emailing or texting your costume pictures to Jenny. I've seen some great costumes so far.  If you purchase anything, please leave tags on until they are approved. The approval for all costumes is needed by Wednesday, 9/2. We are planning to have our costume parade/pictures on Saturday, 9/5. More details coming soon. 

Off-Book
What does Off-Book mean? Once Ms. Becca has blocked the whole show we will start Off-Book rehearsals. The first off-book rehearsal is scheduled for Wednesday, 9/2. We will start back at the top of the show and run all scenes. No scripts will be allowed on stage and actors need to know their lines, blocking and any movement/dances. 

Blog Comments
Don’t forget if you have question you can ask it as a comment on the blog. Your question might be someone else’s question. Of course, you can always email me directly. 

Rehearsal 

Please have your actor review the pages that are on the schedule before coming to rehearsal. They don’t need to be memorized yet, but they should be familiar with their lines and the scene we are covering. Actors need to bring a pencil to every rehearsal to write down their blocking notes. Most of the time we won’t go back over the pages we cover each week for several weeks. When we go over the pages again they should already know their blocking. 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). 

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
