Set Construction
Saturday 10-3:30 and Sunday 1-6
Set construction and painting will continue every weekend, and there's only two weekends left to finish things! It's open to all family and friends, even if you didn't sign up for this committee. Just wear appropriate clothing and shoes, bring your tools or painting gear if you have them, and come join the fun! It's such rewarding work to create things for the production and then more fun to see them onstage!
For safety ~ Please do not wear flip-flops or sandals to the warehouse!!
Directions to the Warehouse
The warehouse is located at 850d East San Carlos Ave, San Carlos, CA 94070
From Parkside:
101 South
Exit at Holly Street
Make left at light which is Industrial
Make a left onto E. San Carlos Ave. The warehouse is towards the back to the left. The large roll up door will be open.
Parking PassesAs you may or may not know, you must pay to park at Canada. We are being offered a parking pass at a reduced rate. If you are interested in purchasing one, please let me know. We only have a limited number of passes.
Chaperone Committee
Time to sign up for chaperone duty! A poster with available slots will be up at Parkside outside the main practice room. Signing up for one of the tech rehearsals in addition to the performance slots is suggested to get an idea of the flow of the show and which groups are needed during which scenes. Contact Jennifer Bahr-Davidson (jbahr-davidson@sbcglobal.net) with any questions.
Order Your Tickets Now!
Ticket sales are very brisk for this show. Seats are assigned (this is not general admission seating!) so please place your orders now for best seating options! Order online at www.bayareaetc.org
I ordered ticket vouchers ... Now What?
You should receive your vouchers in your folder at rehearsal. You can redeem them by emailing tickets@bayareaetc.org and detailing how many seats you would like and for what show and what voucher numbers you would like to use. Then you need to bring the voucher to rehearsal or the box office to receive your tickets. Another way to order is to bring your vouchers to rehearsal and put them in the ticket envelope - make sure you have specified on the voucher the show for which you would like to have tickets. You can also bring your vouchers to the Box Office one hour prior to show time and receive tickets, however, seats are assigned and you will receive better seats if you order ahead!
I ordered a Proud Parent Pass ... Now What?
If you ordered a proud parent pass Danielle or Bonnie will be taking you picture and you will receive a small card that is your proud parent pass. Cards will be distributed during Tech Week. Then, one hour before show time you can present this pass at the Box Office at the theater and receive an assigned seat. You need to have the pass with you and the pass are not transferable between parents.
Ticket Sales Winners from last week were:
Rosen Family
Rachel Lock
Justin Levine
Bios & Head Shots
It is time to have the actors write their bios. Bios should be one paragraph and written in third person. 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 address wonkabio@yahoo.com by October 23.
If your actor did not take a headshot on with the photographer, please bring a 4 x 6 black and white portrait to rehearsal. We need to collect all photos by October 31.
This weeks schedule
On Saturday, once your actor is at rehearsal, they will be staying until 3:30pm. There will be some breaks for lunch and rest but they are asked to stay because there will also be costume fittings going on as well.
