Week 8- Weekly Update

I can't believe this will be our last weekly update!  We will just post as items come up over the next couple of weeks so check the blog occasionally as we head into tech week and shows. We are just 2 rehearsals away from starting tech! Please plan on being at both rehearsals. Mr. Mick will be there again on Saturday to work the fight one last time with the actors. We need everyone in the fight to be there. Sunday we will finish up work the last few pages and run the fight and bows. This will be the last time we run the bows before tech.

Costumes
Please send costume pictures to Kristie McMurray by this Wednesday, 10/28. Kristie.mcm@icloud.com All costumes need to approved by Kristie. Bring all costume pieces to every night of tech and shows. Please label all costume pieces and bring a basket (laundry baskets work well) to keep all your belongs in. 

Tickets
Keep selling tickets! Every family is required to sell/buy 12 tickets and will receive 4 comps once your ticket requirement has been met by Monday 11/2. Tickets for The Outsiders will be $10 each and $12 at the door. There is reserved front row for $20 each. Front row for closing night is already sold out. You can purchase your tickets online or contact Andreea Hamilton andreea.hamilton@gmail.comAndreea will be handing out tickets that you purchased this weekend. 

Volunteers
We need more volunteers for every show! Every family is required to sign up for at least two volunteer spots per the Parent's Letter of Understanding that each family signed. http://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080a4da5ae2ea64-outsiders

Set Build

At least one parent from every family is required to be there in order to receive your $20 scholarship for a future show at NTPA. The pieces we are building will be too large to be built at the scene shop, so the build will occur on the main stage, however much of the wood and material is located at the scene shop, so we will need some trucks to move the items to our build before 1pm. Please let Steve McMurray know if you are available with a truck to help. As always, we will need parents with power tools and paint brushes at 1pm on Sunday.

Tech
Everyone is required to be at every night of tech. If your double is on stage you need to be in the audience watching. Tech is 5:30pm-9:30pm. Everyone must be ready to go, in costume, hair and, if any, makeup by 5:30. If you are going to be mic'd at the top of the show you must arrive by 5:15 to be mic'd.

Rehearsal 
Actors need to bring a pencil to every rehearsal to write down their blocking notes. Most of the time we won’t go back over the pages we cover each week for several weeks. When we go over the pages again they should already know their blocking. It is very important that your actors attend rehearsals, and if they have a conflict please let Lisa know.  Your actor is really going to have to rely on their doubles to catch up when a rehearsal is missed. Also, remember to bring water/snack and to wear comfortable shoes (no open toed shoes, flip flops or crocs). 

Rehearsal Conflicts
Please email Lisa allboymom@gmail.com if your actor is going to miss a rehearsal.
