CONGRATS!!!

I simply wanted to congratulate all of you on a job well done.  You brought terrific energy and intent to the work, and you handled yourselves with a high level of professionalism.  It was a marvelous success, and there were many wonderful comments from audience members.  

I wish you the best on finals.  I look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

Warmly
MZ

Food for Fertile Ground Day!

In order to make our participation in Fertile Ground a success without compromising your ability to prepare for finals, we are requiring the young men and women of 'Prime' to take part in a mandatory study/homework session after school on the 27th, before our departing together for our performance at the CoHo.

Since we are requiring you to remain here to focus on your studies and then to go into performance, we should probably make sure you get fed! That where your families come in! We are asking for your/their help in providing a light, healthy, but substantial meal here at WHS before we leave at 515pm on the 27th. Past successes have been veggie trays, sandwiches, meat and cheese trays, hummus dips, etc...substantial but not heavy (we don't want sleepy actors going into performance!).

If you and your family can help feed the masses, please contact me at mjamie@pps.net!

Thanks!

TWO - FORMS
Wilson High School Administration is requiring that we treat this as a school sanctioned field trip.  This means that every cast member as well as our SM and Stage Reader must have permission slips signed and returned by Monday 2/26.  Please pick up these forms from stage management when in rehearsals.

THREE - DRIVERS
The rules for travel are:
a - a student may drive themselves but are not allowed to drive any other students - no exceptions

b - a guardian may drive their child, but no other students unless... (see c)

c - an adult driver may take more than one student if and only if they are on file with the school.  These forms may also be picked up from stage management and need to be returned ASAP.  We are in need of drivers, so please ask your parents if they are willing to transport - to and from - and if they are willing to be on file as an official driver.  Currently, we have Jamie Miller and Matt Zrebski.

FOUR - PROMOTION
This event is an amazing opportunity for audiences to have an inside look at the process of new work.  More times than not, audiences love seeing a reading and then going to the full production to see how it's all been fully realized.  Please urge family and friends to attend and take advantage of seeing how a play goes from page to full production.  Tickets are all "pay what you will" and can be purchased online or at-the-door.  It is strongly advised that they get tickets in advance!  The link:  https://www.boxofficetickets.com/bot/wa/event?id=295713 

Schedule: 2/2 - Strike!

Please note: given the potential for unforeseen challenges as we enter into the final stages of the process, this schedule is subject to change.  Please be consistent in checking the blog and the call board for updates.  That said, major changes should not be necessary unless we have issues arise like cast absences or weather related closures.  And if we should get ahead, we will shorten rehearsals.  Also, take note of the start and end times.  It varies.
