schedule, t-shirts, other.

In the final weeks, please check here for updates and remind others to do the same -- there are some short notice items below and we need to use this to get everyone on the same page.

There are nine different variations of the cover image, from the audition piece, to postcards, poster, senior flyer, program cover, t-shirts, ad nauseum. Here's one of them. The show will have a very slick marketing presence, can we get the show to the same quality?

Saturday: 11 - 3 pm final shot at choreography
Monday: music less run
Tuesday: Hamlet, 4:30 - 5:30 rehearsal sound rehearsal -- VITAL!!!

Saturday: Tech Day. 9- 12 set finishing, 1-4 run THREE LEFT

Thursday: 6PM call, 7:30 show
Friday: 6PM call, 7:30 show
Saturday: 6PM call, 7:30 show. STRIKE!!! All stay till all done.

Spend some time realizing how little we have left.

Postcards and posters will be distributed at rehearsal on Friday. Both cost a fair chunk of change (and look fantastic) so they need to be used well.

How's your Hamlet? Prepare for Tuesday's show. Especially valuable are the behind the scenes articles with the various directors and designers. Reading these before the production will help you appreciate what you're seeing even more. How's your Tyrone Guthrie? Google him and learn a bit about why the theater with his name is hardly his most impressive credit.

Pay Sarah your $35 activity fee (or give her the name of the activity you paid it to), give her your BIO, make sure your photo has been taken by Bobby, THEN give Sarah a check for $12.00 for a t-shirt along with your size (no customizing, but everyone's name will be on it). Pit band and crew too. This has to happen by the end of practice on Monday or no t-shirt, no bio inclusion, no exceptions.

Hmmm. . . will the props desperately needed for the show appear as quickly as the checks for the t-shirts? Will the cast be off-script and on-music? Will everyone be on stage when they need to be? Let's do more than hope, let's make it happen.

Tyrone Guthrie ended each rehearsal with the following, as I similarly charge each of you.

"Surprise me tommorrow."
