Food, Glorious Food!

Hey there -
So...the days are getting longer, huh?  Sustaining ourselves is gonna get more and more challenging.
Here's where you come in!
In the beginning of our process we typically ask you to fill out an informational form with a bunch of helpful information on it.  We blew it (and by we I mean I), and thusly don't have a good way to reach out to your families/folks to ask about support on foodstuffs for the run!  And we all want that, yeah?
Please fill out, or have your parental/support person fill out this quick Google form below to start the food process.  And thanks for your support!

Personal Info Link (not to be confused with your Bio)

Crew Calls - Tech thru Strike

Hey again, y'all -

As we enter the final stretch on the show, it's time to begin integrating some more of the spectacular human beings that are gonna make this show, ahem, sing.

Below are the call dates for the following folks:


5/1 - Koji Tsugawa, Russell Ellis - Door Paging/Backstage during Run

5/1 - Maddie Laboe, Anya Leontovich - Props during Run

5/1 - Adaya Smith, Arlo Austin, Alex Buckley - Costume Support during Run (+ Costume Build Team for Construction/Alteration/Finishing)

5/3 - Jack Reynolds, Ellen Murchison - Mics during Run

5/8 - Robin Boyce, Eliana Walcott, Parker Maly, Kip Craig, Giuseppe Lipari, Porter Gaab - Pre Venue Prep/Patron Support/Post Venue Reset

5/9 - Corinna Murdock (lead), Savy Carey, Perses Cooke, Red Ball (if available) - Makeup Team


In the past, there's been some wasted time for members of the crew, and we're working to minimize that as much as possible.


From your first call, until Strike, you're called each and every call on the Production Calendar (see: Callboard). It's a long haul, but this show is totally worth it!!!


Make sure you're keeping well and healthy, getting the sleep, staying in communication with teachers and families, etc. We're looking forward to integrating your work!


Please email me with any questions!
