Nitty Gritty Wrap Up
A very big Thank You to all the parents who helped during the first Nitty Gritty weekend. We accomplished so many of our tasks! The office, prop, and costume areas are very neat and organized. Flyers were counted for school distribution. Set painters did a wonderful job, and our set construction crew completed many pieces and began some new ones.
Set Construction
Set construction and painting will continue every weekend. Saturday 10-3:30 and Sunday 1-6. 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!!
Tickets ... Tickets ... Tickets

Prizes for Selling Tickets
Weekly Wonka prizes will be given for the top ticket sellers each week! Winners will be announced at Sunday rehearsals. In addition, if a family sells 100 or more tickets, they receive one free registration for the next mainstage show they participate in. If a family sells 50 or more tickets, they receive a 50% discount for one person on the next mainstage show they participate in.
Head Shots
Head shots will be taken on Sunday, October 11. They will begin at 12:15pm.

Bios & Head ShotsIt 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.
If your actor is not taking a head shot this weekend, please bring a 4x6 black and white photo to rehearsal. Deadline for photos to be turned in is October 31.
