ANNIE - Saturday Rehearsal, 11/3

This Saturday, November 3rd, is an all day rehearsal! It has snuck up on all of us!  It does seem to come early in the production schedule but the Thanksgiving break only leaves us this weekend, and next weekend (11/10), to have an all day rehearsal.  Come ready to work and have fun!

Rehearsal for all cast and crew members is from 9:45am - 4pm in the lower gym.

Please enter the gym through the lower outside door, down beyond the tennis courts. The rest of the school will be locked.

Bring a lunch and a water bottle.

Annie Update - 10/22


1.  No rehearsal next Wednesday, October 31.  Happy Tricking or Treating!

2.  One way that the drama group raises funds is through advertisements in the program.  If you have your own business, please consider purchasing an ad or ask friends or local businesses.  A full page ad is $100, half is $50 and 1/4 is $20.  Remember that the ad will be seen by members of the feeder elementary school communities as well as East/West Sylvan.  Please contact me for more information.

3.  As rehearsals progress the directors make requests for props.  For the "Hard Knock Life" number, we need old metal buckets and wooden scrub brushes.  Hopefully we can come up with 15.  Please check your garages, your parent's and grandparent's basements and attics.  Also old mops, the string kind.  I could purchase these items but then we would have to spend some time trying to make them look well worn.  These items are needed ASAP so that Andrew can finish choreographing the number.

Annie Update - 10/14

1.  This weeks rehearsal schedule is the same as last week. 
Monday and Wednesday - All are called.  Monday and Wednesday rehearsals will be on the stage in the lower gym.  Actors should go directly there after school. 
Tuesday and Thursday - named characters (Kaela Lee, Kiana Gellman, Sammy Webb, Elizabeth Gazeley, Sophia Modica, Tessa Cannon, Sophia Takla, Emma Weightman, Alice Harbeson, Tristan Muresan, Tucker Litch,  Kate Lambert )  in the choir room. 

2.  On Monday 10/15, at 5:30pm I need as many strong people who can come the last half hour of rehearsal to move large stage pieces (stairs, ramps and stage extensions) out of the drama room and onto the stage. These pieces are needed so the director can start staging the scenes.  When the task is done you can take your actor home.

3.  I need someone to be in charge of program advertisements.  This would involve contacting past advertisers and finding new advertisers.  Family and friends of current and past cast members are a great source of ads.  Please let me know if you are interested.  This work would be completed before Thanksgiving.
