HAMLET Rehearsal Change and Spring Break

Paul has called the entire cast to rehearsal on the first Monday that we return from Spring Break.  If you haven't had a chance to complete and return the information packet and the check, please do so on Monday, April 1.

During Spring Break, you can be busy completing the bio/headshot sheet.  This sheet can be found at the bottom of the first page of the drama website, http://eastwestsylvandrama.com/ under the information about the blog.   A short biography and a passport type photo for each cast and crew member appears in the program.  It usually takes a bit of time to get them all in so I thought I would get you all started now.  Maybe you can get a great photo while on Spring Break.

All actors should be learning their lines for their scenes.  Perhaps that could be great activity during the long car or plane trip.

Enjoy the week off!

HAMLET Rehearsal Schedule plus More

Starting next week, Monday March 19, the rehearsal schedule will be as follow until further notice:

Polonius, Laertes, Horation Guildenstern and Rosencrantz come every day Monday - Thursday

Monday - Royal Group 1 plus Polonius, Laertes, Horatio, Guildenstern and Rosencrantz

Tuesday - Royal Group 2 plus P, L, H, G & R

Wednesday - All called, including the junior cast (this is the only day the jr cast comes)

Thursday - Royal Group 3 plus P, L, H, G & R

The cast list list is in a previous post.

Everyone needs to be learning their lines.  The goal is to have them memorized when we return from Spring Break.  No rehearsal during Spring Break.

Thanks to all who have returned the completed information packet and activity fee check.  I would appreciate if I could get the remainders on Monday.  

Happy St Patrick's Day!

Hamlet week of 3/11

Welcome all to the Hamlet Family!  Congratulations to your actor for being cast in Hamlet!  Now the fun begins!

Rehearsal starts tomorrow, Monday, March 11.  All cast members, except the jr (elementary school) members, should come to rehearsal Monday - Thursday, 4 - 6 pm,  for this week.  Junior cast members should come  to only Monday and Wednesday rehearsals.  During this week, the cast will read and discuss the script.  Next week, the director will break down rehearsal among the royal groups and the other roles.  

If you have not already received one by email, on Monday your actor will bring home an extensive information packet.  There are things for you to complete and return as soon as possible.  This production is a group effort meaning that it happens because of all of you donating your time and talents.  The packet has a list of tasks that need to be completed so please sign up for the things you like to do.  I do need some volunteers quite quickly to get things moving.  As I am not creative, I desperately need someone to help with costumes and sets, most of which we already have.  Also, does anyone have Microsoft Publisher?  I have a template for the Hamlet programs that needs to be updated.  It is something that can be done quite quickly if you know what you are doing on Publisher.
