Rehearsal Reminders
Don't forget to sign up for the text group. That is where all rehearsal reminders will be sent. Text @pytoutside to 81010 to receive the text messages.

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.

Your first half of tuition is due to PCT by Monday. You can pay your deposit online by using promo coded DEPOSIT. Remember to use any set build, leadership, or salesmanship scholarships you many have and don't forget to apply your family membership discount. 


Scripts
Each actor was given a script on Wednesday. Ms. Becca didn't have enough book scripts but has asked to for more to be ordered. If you received a paper script, please have them bound together before our next rehearsal. This can be done by putting them in a 3-ring binder or taking them to an office supply/copy store and having it spiral bound together. Also, they need to have their lines highlighted by their next rehearsal.
