FRIDAY REHEARSAL: ALL CAST CALLED
Please note that we will run rehearsal from 5:00 - 7:00 tonight. We will begin with Mushu/Cricket's Honor to Us All and run as far we can. Cast should be ready for "Keep 'Em Guessin" in the wings.
*Shang gang, Shang, and Roslyn: Please note where set pieces are living backstage. I stayed after to put everything in its place backstage. This is where things should go in that big scene change. Please try to figure out who will move what to make this happen. It's probably one of the biggest scene changes.
SATURDAY REHEARSAL: ALL CAST CALLED
TIME CHANGE: 10:00 - 2:00
I am sorry to have to make a time change, but I am asking that all cast come in an hour early and plan to stay an hour later. It would be wise of you to bring a snack and drink to keep yourself hydrated and not so hungry. Please also eat a nice breakfast!! We are going to accomplish TONS on Saturday! I am calling this extension because I feel that we need more time before we do costumes on Monday. There are several scenes that need cleaning that I need to hit before Monday's rehearsal. I realize that this may put a damper on some plans -- but PLEASE, DO ANYTHING YOU CAN TO BE AT THIS REHEARSAL FROM 10:00 - 2:00. If it is absolutely impossible, I understand -- but I expect all cast during our regular scheduled rehearsal from 11:00 - 1:00 unless you have spoken to me about this previously.
PLAN FOR SATURDAY:
SET WORK: 8:00 - 10:00 (If you are scheduled to work set crew and can be there an hour early, awesome!!). If needed, set decor/set construction can continue in the audience while we run rehearsal, but we will need the stage from 10:00 - 12:00.
REHEARSAL: 10:00 - 12:00
VOCAL REHEARSAL: 12:00 - 2:00. I have asked a special guest to join us to help us with vocals from 12:00 - 2:00. This part of rehearsal is absolutely necessary. We worked vocals toward the beginning, but we really need time devoted to tweaking our vocals and working on specifics. This will be an ALL CAST rehearsal. Our guest will work with the ensemble and the leads. Think of this as a double voice lesson to get us ready for show week. I expect that everyone will respect our guest --- even more than you respect me. Set crew can also have the stage during this time to finish any last minute touches, if needed.
We need to knock out all set work/set decor work on Saturday. This will help us tremendously as we embark on tech week!!
TECH CREW: If you are on tech crew (and not part of costumes and/or make-up), we need you to arrive on Monday right after school from 3:15 - 4:30. You will be meeting with our stage manager and will be tweaking the lights and sound in the auditorium.
*****FOR NOW, EVERYONE ELSE, please stay tuned for tech week details*****
Thanks!
Miss Wilmes
