Announcements + Schedule

Announcements

Conflict Policy: Tech Week begins on FRIDAY. This means no conflicts, no exceptions. Please ask your teachers for work in advance, and go to extra help this week instead of next week if possible. Latenesses and absences really slow us down, and they will not be excused except in the case of emergencies. This is On Tour policy, and failure to be prompt during Tech Week affects both your grade and your hours / Thespian points for the show.

Costumes Announcements: Every cast member MUST create a costume "cheat sheet" for the show. This lists each piece of your costumes, when you wear them, where you change, and if any are quick changes. A sample will be hung on the call board. These will be due some time in the next week, after the costume parade (date/time TBA). You are responsible for handing the management two copies, one for Sal and one for the costumes crew. Anyone who does not hand one in will not be receiving a grade in their drama average for the show.

Updated Schedule

Announcements

If you have not yet handed in your character analysis & money, and shown the management your makeup & shoes, please do so before or after rehearsal. Remember, shoes must be worn at every rehearsal from now on.

Additionally, the costumes crew would like to announce that everybody must bring a pen and paper to fittings to record their costumes notes (pieces, changes, specific instructions). All cast members will have to hand in a costume Cheat Sheet, so these notes will help you with that. Also, women who haven't done so need to find corsets and begin wearing them to get used to dancing with it on.
