Rehearsal Expectations
Every actor should have a script and most of the music for the first act. The script and music should be in athree ring binder. Actors should bring their script toevery rehearsal along with a pencil and a bottle of water and a snack. No food is allowed in the LGI room so the snack should be wrapped and they can eat it during their break. If your actor was not at rehearsal this past weekend, please have them get the script from Dwayne and the music from Susie.
There isNO GUM allowed at rehearsal.
In order for rehearsals to run smoothly and the actors to get the most out of rehearsal, anyone who has long hair must pull it back in a ponytail or clips and away from their face.
It is also important that actors wear closed toed shoes that are comfortable to dance in.This means no sandals, flip-flops or crocs! They should also wear clothing that is easy to move in. And remember girls, no bra straps or belly buttons showing.
Electronics & Cell Phones
We recommend that actors don’t bring electronics to rehearsal. It is a great place to loose them. If your actor brings electronics to rehearsal and the electronics distract the actor to the point where they don’t pay attention to the rehearsal, they will be taken away and returned at the completion of rehearsal.
We understand the importance of keeping in touch with your actor. Cell phones are allowed at rehearsal, but must remain in a bag or pocket. As with the electronics, if they become a distraction, they will be taken away and returned at the end of the day.
Costume Measurement Forms Online
You can find the costume measurement forms online athttp://www.bayareaetc.org/forms/CostumeMeasurementForm.pdf in the forms section of Seussical Information. Please measure your actor and return the forms bySaturday, January 23. They can be turned into the forms box in the folder “Costume Measurement Forms”.

You can give them to Dwayne or Danielle as well, but please don’t give them to the director, choreographer or vocal director as they have too many things to worry about and I don’t want to bother them with the forms.
