Impact Posters and Shirts

Hi all - 

Guess what I have?  That's right: Show Swag!

If you put an order in for a show shirt and poster from the spring show, you can come by IBWHS weekday mornings before 1200pm to pick it up.  Just email or text me (Miller) to let me know you're on your way, remind me of the size you requested, and I'll have it ready for you.

They're pretty dope!  Let me know when you'd like to come by!

Each actor only has one run through next week.  Straight run and notes.  Should it seem as though an actor needs one more pass at it before filming, individual appointments will be made on a case by case basis and take place over the weekend on 5/1 and 5/2.

TW9 Schedule - Week 7



Please note that the general schedule times have changed. Based on conflicts provided, there should be no conflicts, but...if you have one, alert me immediately; I'll see if I can make adjustments.

Please note the short times. These are straight runs with notes. Show up on time. Completely off book. Ready to go!

In addition, when possible, please wear clothes that you imagine your character wearing. We will discuss costuming at the top of your sessions.

Use the two days off at the top of the week to get perfectly off book.

The filming schedule should be confirmed soon for the first week of May. In prep for this, please make sure you email me any conflicts you may have from SU 5/2 - SU 5/9.

TW9 Schedule - Weeks 4 & 5




NOTE: 
Going forward, Duncan and Eli are not required to attend Maxwell's and Kyle's rehearsals unless they receive an email asking for their presence. And even then, they can always say they are busy. In other words, it'a all on a case-by-case "as needed" basis. That said, they are always welcome to attend.

NOTE: 
Each actor has 3 rehearsals over this period. By session 3, the actor should be fairly off book.

NOTE: 
Actors should, whenever possible, print the script that was emailed to them (or to me). They need to be able to make written notes and to not have to look at a screen to read.
