Rehearsal Schedule for the Week of February 16-19

Hope you are all home safe and warm!  Weather permitting, we will be able to have practice tomorrow evening.  Remember if you are interested in doing a "Commercial" for intermission, please be working on a script of what your character(s) will be saying/doing and hand it in to one of the Directors by next Monday, February 22nd.  Just a reminder to all actors with speaking roles that we will not be using scripts after the 1st of March.  Be working to memorize your dialogue :)  As always, if you previously disclosed an ongoing rehearsal conflict to us, we have that information noted on our attendance list and your absence will not be counted against you.



Rehearsals for the Week of February 16th:

Tuesday, February 16th
7:00 - 8:30    All Speaking Characters

Wednesday, February 17th
3:00 - 3:45    Full Cast (music)
3:45 - 4:15    Wolf, Wolfettes, ES, Boy Who Cried and Little Red 

Thursday, February 18th
3:00 - 4:30    All Speaking Characters

Rehearsals for the Week of February 7th

Hopefully we will be able to avoid the bad weather this week!  In the event that we will need to make up a rehearsal that is canceled due to bad weather we may try to make up that rehearsal at a later date and details will be posted here.

Now that blocking for speaking roles is mostly complete, we can cover more material during Script rehearsals and can benefit from having as many speaking characters as possible present at each of these rehearsals. If you see "All Speaking Parts (except those who listed scheduling conflicts)", it means just that: we will rehearse with you unless we are already aware of an ongoing scheduling conflict that you have on the day or at that time, for example:  Ski Club, Dance, CCD, Soccer, etc. If you are absent because of those activities, your absence is excused because you disclosed it ahead of time.

Monday, February 8th

3:00 - 3:45   Full Cast

3:45 - 4:45   All Speaking Parts (except those who listed scheduling conflicts)

Rehearsals for the Week of January 24th

Rehearsals are going very well!  Everyone is doing a great job learning the first and last songs of the show and our speaking characters have been hard at work on their individual scenes.  Below is the schedule for the coming week.  Now that the snowy weather is here, there are a few important things to remember regarding practices.  If school is canceled because of the weather or closes early due to the weather, we will not hold any scheduled practices that day.  If the bad weather sets in at the end of the school day we will make an announcement at the end of the school day regarding rehearsal. If bad weather sets in between school dismissal and an evening rehearsal, look here to see if we are still holding rehearsal or not.  If we do have rehearsal, but your parents do not feel comfortable driving you to the school, your absence will be excused.  We want everyone to be safe above all else, so always exercise judgment about whether or not to go out in questionable weather conditions.  We don't typically have Friday rehearsals, but in a week where a rehearsal is canceled due to weather, we will often make up that rehearsal on the Friday of that week.  We will post that information here as well as on the school bulletin board.

To each and every student who auditioned:

Once again we were blown away by the sheer talent that was displayed by the students auditioning for the show!  We wish we could double or triple cast each part because there were just sooooo many talented actors and actresses.  Please do not be discouraged if you did not get the role you were hoping for.  ALL roles are important.  Our chorus/ensemble will have a lot of fun and we will be choosing students from the chorus/ensemble to have a more featured role in some of the musical numbers.  Each ensemble member will also be given a fairy tale character to represent in the show.  We will be open to suggestions if there is a particular character you would like to portray.

We apologize if we inadvertently omitted anyone's name on this list.  Also, if for any reason you are unable to continue with the play, we truly understand but please have the courtesy to let one of the director know personally, whether in person or in a note.  Please do not have a friend relay the message for you.  We look forward to working with you to make this an awesome production!
