Help Available?

Attention (SW)2 Friends, Members, Etc.:

1) Finals come first...making sure that is clear. They are the priority.
2) For those with lighter schedules/done with major finals: we need your help TODAY! 

At 330pm today, the build crew of Prime needs your help putting up flats! Due to declining numbers in the stagecraft classes and a wonky finals schedule, we were not able to make the progress necessary on enclosing the Prime set. Your Company needs your help!

Do you have an hour? Two? We'd be grateful!

See you today...

SCHEDULE CHANGE for 1-29-15


SCHEDULE UPDATE!!!

Rather than do a straight run with notes, I have decided to begin a work through of the show on Thursday, which will continue into Friday.  This allows me to give notes as we go, and I think will be more effective.  This does mean that the schedule changes a bit for Thursday.  The Seven now have Thursday off.

Friday’s schedule remains the same with all called from 1p - 7p.
(There is no official lunch / dinner break on Friday.  Please bring your own snacks should you need them - and eat prior to arriving.)

Thursday 1/29
4:00p - 6:30p
Called:  All except The Seven
Agenda:  Work through
NOTE:  Initially, The Qs will work in 108 on lines and choreography, led by Guthrie and Gwyneth.  The Qs will likely not be on stage until around 5:15(ish).  The Trio will likely be released early, once The Qs come on.  I need you all to be flexible, however, and keep the full rehearsal window open.



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!
