Corrected Schedule and Some Notes
Hi everyone! Three quick things today...
#1 - Thank you so much for your time at the costume parade last night. It took much longer than I expected (didn't factor in the higher number of actors OR that many actors have multiple costumes), but I appreciate your patience so much and LOVED seeing your hard work! I think this is the least amount of notes I've needed to give, so thank you for following the guidelines so well! The costumes are going to look great together on stage!
#2 - All ticket packets are ready. I tried to hand some out last night that hadn't been picked up yet but it quickly got too busy and I still have many that need to be signed out. Please pick those up this week. Also, I wasn't very clear with the "TBD" orders. Slips that state that a TBD order has been made are included in your packets. These are not actual tickets, just a note to say how to reserve specific dates once dates are decided on.
#3 - I accidentally listed the wrong rehearsal time for Friday! It is 5:30-7:30 like usual. So sorry for the typo!

Rehearsal Schedule (week of 3/18)
Hi everyone! We made it almost through the show Saturday, putting all the puzzle pieces into their correct order! I never know what to expect on that first day of putting the show back together after doing all the pieces separately -- sometimes it's great, and sometimes everything falls apart and has to be rebuilt. BUT Saturday was a good start and I'm feeling confident already that this is going to be a good show.
Since we are at the point in the process where things are moving slowly and actors will not always be used during the time they are at rehearsal, this is a good time to come with something quiet to do during the waiting times -- homework, a book, paper and crayons, etc...
Here's the schedule for this week...
Monday, March 18th - ALL CAST COSTUME PARADE - 6:30-7:30 - Senior Center
A parent should also come. Please click here for more info if you haven't already looked it over!
Wednesday, March 20th - Willey House
4:45-5:30 - Ursula, Triton
Poor Unfortunate Souls (Reprise)
OFF BOOK -- bring scripts to review between scenes but we won't be using them during songs/scenes.
Thursday, March 21st - Senior Center
4:30-7:00 - ALL CAST
Work through show
Friday, March 22nd - Senior Center
5:30-7:30 - ALL CAST
Work through show
Saturday, March 23rd - Senior Center
9:30-11:30 - ALL CAST
Work through show
***PLEASE MAKE A NOTE ON YOUR PHYSICAL SCHEDULES -- WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27th WE WILL REHEARSE AT THE SENIOR CENTER (was TBD based on space availability)***

FRIDAY - LAST MINUTE CHANGE

Thank you!

Sweatshirt/Tshirt Orders
This doesn't apply to everyone, but for those of you who ordered sweatshirts or tshirts, it seems that there was a glitch with the online orders. Please fill out a form at rehearsal tonight and give it to me (if you are not going to be there tonight or if you see this a little late, please send me your info and I'll get it on a form and passed on). I believe some orders were received but not all -- a physical form will ensure that everyone who ordered gets what they wanted.

Costume Parade - Monday, March 18th!
Just a reminder that the Costume Parade will be Monday, March 18th at 6:30pm.
This is just under a week away so please let me know if you have any questions about your costume(s)!
We will meet in the Main Hall (larger room) of the Senior Center. If everyone is on time and attentive, we should be done within an hour. Please be on time so your group does not have to wait for you!
Unless specifically excused, please be there even if I have already seen your costume. A costume may be approved on its own, but sometimes small changes are needed so it will look better with the group as a whole -- a scarf, ribbon, etc...
Here's how the costume parade will work:
1. Actors AND a parent or guardian should attend.
2. Actors should arrive in costume. (If you have more than one costume, please see below for more info.)
3. Actors should find the rest of their group (Sea Creatures, Sailors, Chefs, etc...)
4. I will then look at each groups' costumes and give notes (examples: everything is great, please change the purple socks to black socks, please add a colored scarf, etc...)
** ** ** ** **
If you have more than one costume, please follow these instructions:
Ariel & Mersisters-- please come in your Mermaid costume and bring your dresses
Carlotta -- please come in your Carlotta costume and bring your Sailor Costume
Chefs -- please come in your chef costume and bring your Sea Creature/Sailor Costume/Grimsby/Pilot costume (Megan, come dressed as Chef Louis and bring your other chef costume)
Gulls -- please come in your gull costume and bring your Sailor Costume (Sierra & Rachel, please come dressed as Scuttle with anything different and bring your other gull costume)
Sea Chorus & Flotsam & Jetsam - please come in your Sea Chorus/Flotsam/Jetsam costume & bring your Tentacle pieces

Out of Character | The Costume as Art
I forgot I wanted to share this event with all of you! It's tomorrow (Saturday) at the Gilroy Center for the Arts and is open to all ages -- free admission too! Dress up if you'd like and enjoy checking out some great costumes!
It's March?!
Happy March everyone! How did that happen? We are now just about a month away from show time and this month is going to fly!
Here are some important dates to be aware of...
Wednesday, March 6 - Ticket packages are due! Each family is responsible for selling 20 tickets at $8 each. If someone doesn't know what day they want to come, they may pay for a "TBD" ticket and decide on a specific show later. (Right now March 6th is a TBD rehearsal, so you'll get a little "grace period" -- just bring the package in to any rehearsal the 7th-9th!)
Monday, March 18 - Costume parade! This is our time to see all the costumes as a whole and to make sure everything will look good together on stage. A parent and an actor should attend together.
Thursday March 21 - Off Book. This means we're done using scripts in rehearsal. It is definitely okay to still bring scripts to review between scenes, etc... But we will not be using them when working in a scene or song.
Saturday, March 30 - Move in to the theater & set construction. Parent volunteers will start working on the lobby, sets, etc... (Actors with prior approval only please.)
The show's going to be here before we know it! Thank you for all your involvement so far!
