Thespian Point Meeting

There will be a Thespian Point Meeting on Wednesday at 3:00 pm in the drama room. It is mandatory for all crew chiefs. Those in OtR can go to rehearsal late.

If you have a conflict due to Crescendo or another matter, please discuss your thoughts with fellow crew members so they can fairly represent your opinion on the evaluations. If you are unable to do so due to crew size, personal matters, or any other concerns, please see Amanda or Ariella.

There will also be a Merry Wives management meeting at the same time to determine cast Thespian points.

On The Razzle & Hello Dolly Cast Lists

Sal says:

Thanks to all who auditioned. Casting is never an easy job when there are so many talented people. Remember, there is no way of knowing why you did not get a part; there are too many factors. One thing that is for sure the competition was exceptionally fierce even for Ensemble. I will have the cards available after break if anyone wants critiques.

Meeting

There will be a full cast meeting for OtR on Monday at 3:00 pm. It should not take long. If you are leaving on vacation early or have another conflict, please see/text Amanda ASAP to get your script & fill out a contact/conflict sheet!
