Bios are due this weekend! Here are some questions your actor can answer to help them get started on writing their bio:  1. What other plays have you been in?  2. What are some of your favorite past roles? 3. What do you like best about being in this production?  4. What is your favorite thing about acting?  5. In addition to acting, what other activities do you do? 6.  Who has influenced you most in your acting and why? 5. Is there anything else that you would like others to know about you? Please send the bios to the bio email addressseussicalbios@yahoo.com            no later thanMarch 6.
 
If your actor did not take a headshot with the photographer, please bring a 4 x 6 black and white portrait to rehearsal. We need to collect all photos by March 6. The head shot needs to be 4” length and 6” high.
 
Load In & Final Set Construction
This Saturday is Load-In day. The day when we move all the wonderful set pieces to the theater at Cañada. It is an all-day event, so it brings us a different schedule. We have use of the theater space from 9-5, so we work around that. 8:15 am - meet at eTc warehouse to load the truck8:45 am - depart for Cañada (time approximate)9 am - 6 pm - unload truck, assemble pieces, hang flying set pieces, attach skirts to decks and various other tasks. You may come for all of the day, or join us for a portion of it - as your schedule allows. Most actors will have a full rehearsal day (typically 11-3). We will be using screw guns and staple guns - bring them if you have them! Please join us!! Next weekend is our very last chance to finish the smaller pieces. We are loading-in one week early due to theater availability, but we still have work to do. Please plan to join us March 13 and 14 at the warehouse (regular schedule: Sat. 11-3, Sun. 1-5).
