Tickets…Tickets…Tickets!!!
The online ticket site is up and running and we have already begun getting orders! Visit http://www.bayareaetc.org/tickets.html to purchase your tickets today!
Order forms for Proud Parent Pass and Vouchers were in your folders last week. The hard copy of the ticket order form will be in the folders this week. Remember we ask every family to sell at least 25 tickets. By purchasing a voucher pack, you can save $30. You can also purchase a Proud Parent Pass and save. Remember, the Proud Parent Pass does not allow you to purchase pre sale tickets. You must purchase your tickets at the box office one hour prior to the show you plan to attend.
Set Crew
What a great turn out on Sunday! There is still LOTS to do. Every Saturday from 11:30am-3:30pm and every Sunday from 1pm-4pm, construction will be taking place at the warehouse. EVERYONE IS WELCOME! If you did not sign up for set crew but really want to build, paint or just want to use power tools, you are welcome. Bring your tools if you have them. There is nothing like sitting in the audience and looking at a beautiful set and thinking “I made that!”. When you get to the warehouse, look for Jeanne and she will get you a task.
Ads
There is still time to put an ad in the program. Approximately 2000 people see the program during the run of the show. The ad form is online at . You can turn it in at rehearsal by April 19. The ad must either be ready to scan or ready to download. You can email an electronic copy of the ad to orphanupdate@yahoo.com.
House Duties & Chaperone Committee
There will be a large Sign Up board outside of rehearsal for the next few weeks. If you are on these committees, please sign up for shifts. Remember, if you have not done any volunteer hours and you are saving it for House Duties and Chaperoning, you need to work 6 shifts to fulfill your 25 hour volunteer commitment. House duties includes the concessions, flowers, ushering and the raffle table. Chaperoning includes working back stage with the actors, helping to keep them quiet, get them changed from one costume to another if they need it and calling the cues when it is time.
Raffle Prizes
We need prizes for the raffle. If you have any connections to prizes that would be donated for the raffle, please solicit them. Remember, we are non profit so it is a tax deduction!
Bios & Head Shots
It is time to have the actors write their bios. Bios should be one paragraph and written in third person. For example, Jane is 7 years old and Annie is her first e.T.c. production. In her free time, Jane likes to…. You get the picture. Please send the bios to the bio email address anniebios@yahoo.com.
And speaking of pictures…if you did not take your head shot this past weekend, please bring a 4x6 black and white photo to rehearsal. Deadline for photos to be turned in is April 19.
