One week left..

Hello again!
Just keeping everyone posted - one week left!  Keep up the good work  - keep your lines and cues fresh in your minds, we've got two rehearsals left!

Saturday the 1st at 6 pm
Sunday the 2nd at 12:30 - we're going to make this sort of a matinee so we'll have a bit of an audience - family members are welcome to stay and watch if they want to!

Everyone please memorize what you need to and practice saying your lines with a lot of "flair"!  Character, personality, etc.

And let everyone know that you're in a play, go ahead and invite them to come and see it!
Have fun with it - everything turns out better when the actors are having FUN! : )

(And let's work on scene 6)

Have a great week and I'll see you Saturday!

Two weeks till show time!

Hello everyone - GREAT rehearsal last Sunday!  Thank you all for being there!  We only have THREE rehearsals left, so everyone needs to be there, if they are able....

Saturday the 25th at 6 pm
Sunday the 26th at 12:30 pm
Saturday the 1st at 6 pm

Then the show is Sunday the 2nd at 6 pm (actors please come at 5 pm so we can eat together before we get into costumes)
It's still uncertain if we will be able to do 2 shows that Sunday due to a business meeting that day.... we might make our last "dress rehearsal" Sunday morning open to people who want to see it.

OKAY -- so, this week I will gather up all of the props we need and make sure that we have all of the costumes ready to go.  From now on we'll have everything the way it really will be for the show, so everyone has time to get used to it.

Homework -- MEMORIZE   : )

I'll see you on Saturday, we'll do some costume fittings and go through the play from start to finish. : )

Keep up the great work, and remember to BE your character.....

Mother's Day Break!

Hello all you actors and families!  Next Sunday is Mother's Day, so everyone enjoy the break from rehearsals!!  We're getting down to the last few weeks before the play, so let's all start memorizing our lines!  Our plan is to be off book after our Sunday May 19th rehearsal.

Here is the rundown of remaining rehearsals:

Saturday 18th at 6 - 7:30 pm
Sunday 19th 12:30 -2
Saturday 25th 6 - 7:30 pm
Sunday 26th 12:30 - 2
Saturday June 1st 6 - 7:30 pm

And the day of the show, June 2nd, our last rehearsal at 12:30 - 2, then everyone needs to be back at the church at 5:30 so we can eat dinner together and get ready for our first performance!

I know that, for the past year, the kids have wanted to do more than one showing of the play, so I'm really trying to make this happen for them.  What I've come up with is:
     First show June 2nd at 6 pm (dinner at 6, show starts at 6:30)
     Second show June 9th at 3 pm (no meal) so we'll meet back at 1:30 that day, not 12:30, just to go over notes and what not, not an actual rehearsal before the show.

Parents, please let me know as soon as possible if this will work out for you and your family - we need to know if EVERYONE can be available for the second performance that day.
Thank you very much!!
