Fwd: STG - Work Call 10/04/2014

Hello all, 

Attached is a list of what needs to be done at this point. I'll past it below for those who can't open word files, but things never really transfer well on Facebook, so fair warning. 

What's left, you ask? Well, I'll tell ya... we have construction (including everyone's favorite jig-sawing), props locating, painting, decorating, cleaning and so on... In other words, lots for all, so please don't shy away because you think there may not be something for you to do.

I'd REALLY love to get this set as finished as possible this weekend. Please come and help me accomplish this. :) 

Thank you all,

Jared

This week, beginning 09/29/2014

Hello All, 

How exciting!?!? We are almost through with blocking the show. We've run Act 1 several times and several parts of Act 2 as well. I can't wait to start putting it all together. 

I will change the calendar momentarily, but this is the schedule for this week...

Today, Monday, September 29, 2014 - Needed: Emily, Louisa, Jonathan

Tomorrow, Tuesday, September 30, 2014 - Needed: Jonathan, Lance, Nate

Thursday, October 2, 2014 - Needed: Jonathan, Clay, Jason, Jack, Logan, Nate, Lance

Remember: We'll be off book on Thursday, so use your time off to get prepared for that. Please be sure that you're going over your blocking as well as your lines.

Some key points you should keep in mind as we're running through the show in rehearsal and you're working on your own are: volume, enunciation, and not rushing. All of these are very important. 

Finally, please be sure to come to this upcoming work call if you can. We begin at 11 and go until we're finished. I'd like to get things finished up this weekend. 

Thank you all for your hard work! 

Jared
