Ramp Back Up! - SCHEDULE INFO

I hope you have all been enjoying your days away from the show.  You certainly deserved a much needed respite after such a focused and successful week.  Very proud!

And now - it's time to ramp back up!  We have excited audiences waiting to see what everyone has been talking about.  We have numerous special guests coming (including our incredible playwright), videotaping, adjudication, and...you should all hold the expectation that the show only gets stronger, more nuanced, and more focused with each performance.

Today - Tuesday 11/1:
Please take about 30 minutes to review all of your lines and blocking.  Don't assume, you'll simply remember it.  It's amazing how quickly our brains dump data when we get time off.  I've seen many a professional go into week two of a run and forget whole passages of lines and blocking.  This show is incredibly challenging, so please do you jobs and brush up.  

Tomorrow - Wednesday 11/2:
This will be an intense and long day.  We have a photography shoot, set up for videotaping, and a show...  Here is the schedule.

3:45p
Actors - get into costume and make-up.
Crew - Set for top of show, full props 

4:15p - 5:45p
Archive Photo Shoot
Crew - this will require a full set change to Act Two mid-way through
(We will do around 15 shots)

5:45p - 6:45p
Actors (get out of costume ASAP) - in 108, line through of the show.  Work separately with Act One folks doing their sections while Act Two folks do theirs.  Do a speed through.  Last - do the Sonny / Hazel / Nora / Everett section of Act Two.  You will need to eat while you do this.  When done, get back into costume.

Crew - Reset for top of show / Eat after you have reset

Video Crew - Set Up 

6:45p - 7:30p
Fight Call / Warm Ups / Final Checks / House Open, etc

7:30p
SHOW!
