MEA update


Busy fun over the MEA break. Here's a draft of the poster; of many strong posters I've worked on for JM, this one seems special. Alas. Once again, I can't figure out the color scheme. Reverse it out (as on your actor packets) and that's what it looks like. Is his beard of fire or are they fir trees lining the fjord? I think it perfectly captures the turbulence of his ideals.

Pete Reitveld got the VOSS water for us:)

Costumes: On Monday at 3:15, while I'm at my required faculty meeting, Chrissy Jordan will be in. I know you'll let her know how much you appreciate her valuable contributions. On Monday she'll provide each of you with a costume packet. This is for you to do a first round of what you can scrounge up on your own without Theatre JM purchasing. We need the items you found IN HAND on Wednesday. Then, on Wednesday we'll begin our purchase list. As we are aiming for contemporary, stylish clothing, the individual pieces will be spendy, so please do your best to supplement from your family and friends as much as possible.

Set Construction: Monday night will be a work night until 9pm. Please feel grab some food after practice and come back to work (ideally, bringing friends and family with you). Our goal is to have the risers built by the end of the night.

T-Shirts: Emily, are you still willing to coordinate this? I'll provide the image, but you and the cast will need to decide what text to include and everything else.

Posters will be in soon.

What we are doing is powerful work and I'm lucky to be creating with you all on stage.
