December 3rd:

Dear Cast,
Thank you for your hard work Wednesday night. Even though it was rough going, we were able to work scenes 6-12 and some trouble spots.
I know it was difficult to practice over Thanksgiving, but if you don’t practice at home, it really shows. This was definitely the case on Wednesday. This worries me. We should be getting full run-throughs done now…not still fixing things.

We have two rehearsals this coming week.
Tuesday, 12/7 from 5-9 pm. (First Tech)
Wed. 12/8 from 5-8 pm. (Regular rehearsal) CANCELLED

Please practice before rehearsal!! This will make a huge difference. There is no reason to not know your lines, lyrics, and choreography. You will not be able to call for line from here on out.

I love all of you and know we will have a fabulous show! Can’t wait to see you next week!

Love,
Mrs. Deb

1. Memorizing lines especially scenes 7-12
2. Lyrics in Lonely Goatherd and So Long Farewell
3. Choreography especially von Trapp children
4. Be on time for rehearsal!

5. Do Not miss rehearsals!

Your schedule from here on out looks like this:

Great job this week! This Wednesday, 11/10, we will be putting the whole show together. We will run it twice, once for each cast. Please remember that you should be OFF BOOK but can still call for lines. Also, please review your choreography and music. We will be doing Performance Tracks from here on out and some of you do not know your music. I need you to make this a priority. We only have two rehearsals left until Tech Week. (You are off Thanksgiving week).

One note: We only have from 5-8:00pm each week to run everything, and some of you are arriving very late. Please arrive on time or a few minutes early. It helps us use every minute!

Thank you!
Ms. Deb
