-All Assistant Stage Managers should report for rehearsal tomorrow after school

-All Leads and Crew Members should begin checking the Callboard and show blog (pwteenwest.blogspot.com) DAILY…there’s no excuse for being uninformed

-All Leads and Crew Members should be on the lookout for a production meeting next week

-All Build Crew Volunteers should be regularly checking the Callboard or Blog for build times and opportunities

Thanks!  See you very soon…

Pool: Schedule Update Week 1

Andrew has been hard at work on a new draft of the play.  The changes he's making will allow us to dive even deeper into the content throughout December.  Very exciting!

But...because I am not sure of the changes, I can't schedule specific actors for specific work just yet.

The new version will come in on Monday, November 30.

With all factors considered, here is what I CAN tell you:

Mon. 11/30
OFF

Tues. 12/1
Called:  Full Cast
Agenda:  First Read*
*(This is a mandatory attendance date per your signed audition forms)

Wed. 12/2
TBA

Thurs. 12/3
TBA

Fri. 12/4
Called:  The Trees
Agenda:  Chorus Workshop

Once I have a better handle on the new draft, I'll be able to publish more detailed schedules, and typically, I'll do that for 2 to 3 weeks at a time, so that you can plan your busy lives.  Thanks for your patience as we get going.

I hope you have all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday so far!

Regarding Script Development

The first three weeks of December will be about work-shopping the script so as to allow Andrew Wardenaar to rewrite the play and ready it for staging after winter break.

We know the following goals:

--The roles of Marcus, Kaleb, Dawn, and Penelope are being expanded.

--The origin story of the trees will be explored, adding more context for the chorus and allowing the audience a deeper view into how they all came to be hardened.

--The use of music (voice and potential percussion) and movement will be investigated so as to create a working vocabulary for the storytelling.

Checking the Blog / Callboard

It is expected that everyone is checking the blog daily as well as the callboard.  The general schedule was in your audition packet, but changes will most certainly occur as more detailed schedules and information is published.  There is no excuse to be uninformed.  So please be disciplined in your commitment and actions.

Callbacks #2 / Thurs. 11-19 / 4p - 7p

Thank you to all who auditioned at the first callbacks.  If you are not on the following list, you are still in consideration for a role in the production.  THIS IS NOT A CUT.  I am having to use the limited audition hours wisely to investigate options in the most efficient manner.

For the second callback, the above actors will read scenes from the play.  Sides will be given to actors at the audition as they come in to read.  It is highly recommended that all actors become even more familiar with the current draft.  Actors will be released from auditions as the day progresses, but all should be prepared to stay until 7:00p.

NOTE: Actors may also be asked to sing.  (No prep required.)
