Big long post about the next few weeks...
Hello All -
Just a small update about the next couple of weeks. We now have 10 (count 'em) rehearsals before opening night. That's including tech week. You all should be off book by not this, but next Tuesday, and from now on all Cast members are required at all rehearsals unless I let you know otherwise.
That being said, I'd like to be able to give you some or all of this Thursday off to learn your lines. Originally I had had this Thursday blocked off for choreography, but as Nicole is going out of town for the weekend and the blocking for Children Will Listen can be simpler than I had originally planned for, we might have a chance for a small rest before the intense work begins.
HOWEVER, this can only happen if we work quickly on Tuesday. I need everyone to listen to the song ahead of time, learn the words, and be extremely quiet and professional while Ryan is teaching. If we learn the song quickly, I can block quickly, etc. If we don't learn what we need to learn on Tuesday, then I will need everyone to come in and finish on Thursday, so please keep this in mind. I'm sure we'd all like to take a day off, so let's work together to make it happen.
If you feel like you still want to do some ItW-related stuff on Thursday, contact Tony or Joe and get directions to wherever they're building the set that day. They're pretty far along, but there's still lots left to do! Also, if you have any costume questions at all or think you can get a costume piece, sew a costume piece, or just generally help Nicole out, please contact her or myself and let us know. This is a very elaborate show in general and we can use all the help we can get pulling things together.
As one last reminder, if you have a conflict from now until the end of the show, even if you've let me know about it ahead of time, PLEASE REMIND ME. I'm keeping track of a lot of things right now and things may slip my mind. That being said, you should do absolutely everything you can to clear ALL CONFLICTS, especially during tech week. I will not be happy if you come up to me at the last minute and say you can't be there one of those days - it really slows down the rehearsal process, and you won't get the time onstage that you need. Check your calendars!!!
Let's work hard on Tuesday, learn your lines, and let me know about any conflicts. See you tuesday!
