Week 4- Weekly Update

Please make sure you are reading all of the weekly posts so you don’t miss any important information. 

There is no rehearsal this Wednesday (8/19) due to Ms. Becca being in tech for another show! 

FYI-I will be out of town on vacation 8/16-8/22. I will still be checking email but may not be responding much. Chris O'Reilly will be helping Ms. Becca with rehearsal on Saturday 8/22.

Just a reminder that each family signed the Parents Letter of Understanding and agreed to volunteer for at least two spots during the run of the show. 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

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

Rehearsal Schedule Update

Our next rehearsal is not until Saturday 8/22. Actors, please make sure you are taking time to memorizing lines and blocking. Also, we will have to reschedule our rehearsal on Saturday, 8/29. There is no space to rehearse at PCT on 8/29. Ms. Becca is still looking into a date to reschedule.  I will post an update as soon as I know the new date/time.

If you didn't order a t-shirt and would still like to, please contact Kim Hankins by Tuesday, 8/18.Our t-shirt order is being placed next week.

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 will have our costume parade/pictures on Saturday, 9/5 from 9:30 to 11:30am. More details coming soon. 

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).
