Nitty Gritty Day
A BIG THANK YOU to all the parents who participated in Nitty Gritty Day! We got so much accomplished! The construction crew saw lots of new faces both Saturday and Sunday and felt that many set pieces were completed and progress was made on other pieces. The costume crew “sweat shop” was busy beading those Indian costumes and cutting and sewing pirate shirts! And other parents counted and sorted backpack flyers to advertise the show through the local schools and began the process of hanging posters in store windows. As you have all been told, this show could not happen without the hard work and dedication of the volunteers. Everyone in attendance on Sunday saw the e.T.c. community hard at work and Denise took pictures to prove it. Once again, thanks for being part of the day. If you had fun, come back and play with us again. We are there every Saturday and Sunday during rehearsals!
 
Parent Interruptions & Conflicts
All conflicts should have been turned in on March 1. At this point, no additional conflicts are being accepted. Any conflict you have already requested will be documented on the sign in sheet each week. In addition, please remember that while your actor is in rehearsal, there should be no interruptions. All rehearsals are closed to parents. What is the reason for this rule? When a parent comes into the rehearsal to take their actor early, it disrupts the rehearsal process. The director, choreographer, vocal director or stage manager must stop what they are doing working on for you and your child to gather belongings, say goodbye to friends and leave. Meanwhile, the actors who were working on a scene have lost their concentration, the staff has lost both their concentration and the actors and now it takes 5 or 10 minutes to bring the masses back and start the rehearsal back up. If this happens 5 or 6 times during a rehearsal, this loses an hour. Staff and the actors are on a tight schedule and they all need every minute of the rehearsal time they have. Please be respectful of the staff and the cast and do not interrupt the rehearsal process.
 
Hair Cuts & Changes
If you actor is planning to change their hair length, color or style, please have them clear it with the director and/or Theresa the costume guru. Some costumes and/or wigs have been planned and purchased based on the hair color and/or length of the actor. So don’t change anything from now on until you have it cleared. You can do whatever you want with your hair after May 18.
 
Set Construction
There is no rehearsal this weekend but Scott will be at the warehouse working on projects. If you do not have any weekend plans, the warehouse will be open on Saturday from 11am-3pm and Sunday from 1-5pm. Stop by if you feel like working with some power tools or painting!
 
Off Book
All cast must be “off book” by Saturday March 29. “Off book” means actors will not be using their script at rehearsal. They should know their lines and not need to refer to the script. If they momentarily forget a line, Amy the Stage Manager will be there to help out. But the goal is to be off book by March 29.
