Some Miller Notes for the Cast, Crew...Team of BtEAA

Hi y'all - Got some things for folks to keep in mind for the week to come...some things to think about and a short to-do list:

1) Please fill out a Bio for the show program before end of day tomorrow, November 9.  Link is HERE to the Bio Form!

2) Please review the things that have been learned/set/rehearsed over the course of the last couple of days...no backward steps!  Thoughtfully reviewing things in your mind, visualizing them, can help you lock them into muscle memory.

3) Please remember to promote the show!  We have postcards to share with families (in the Drama Room...take some!), social media art (LINKED HERE), and can share direct ticketing links (southweststageworks.com)!

4) When putting food out, or putting it away, please remember we have folks in the team who are gluten-intolerant...so please make sure to keep two tables: one gluten-free items; the other with wheat or gluten-full products.  They can't mix, please!

5) Please make sure that anything you take out as a part of your duties, as a part of your time here is returned to where you got it.  With this many people and this many props/costumes/tech pieces, tracking them all is going to be very difficult.  Please make sure to put 'it' back where you found 'it'!

6) Take care of each other, including yourself...Shows are a lot, folks!  Lots of hours, lots of responsibilities, lots of folks counting on you.  You get it.  Take care of each other: Be kind, offer help, listen.  Take care of yourself: Eat well, hydrate, sleep enough, stay on top of your studies, connect with the people important to you.  

That's it for now, friends!  You're doing a great job thus far...let's keep growing this li'l show all the way through opening!
