HAMLET Week of 4/29


Less than three weeks until the show!

Rehearsal schedule:
Monday and Wednesday - Full cast
Tues & Thurs -Royal groups 1, 2 & 3, Polonius, Laertes, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern & Horatio.

FYI progress has been very slow and Paul cut a scene on Wednesday because the actors were not prepared.  Please discuss with your actor and encourage them to be fully prepared and focused during rehearsal.  Memorizing their lines would be great!!!

Saturday, May 11 is the all day rehearsal from 9:45 am - 4 pm.

Tickets are on sale!  Check the tickets tab on the www.eastwestsylvandrama.comwebsite.

If you have not sent a headshot & bio by Wednesday, then there will not be a photo and the bio will be "student's name is in the blank grade".

Personal ads to the actors and crew are due this week.  Also last chance for business advertisement.

You will be receiving another email regarding costumes.  Please help by collecting the required pieces this week.

HAMLET Week of 4/15


Seems as there may have been some confusion with the rehearsal schedule as some actors did not show up for their call day.  I have listed the schedule again, this time with the names of the actors.

If you have not yet completed your bio and headshot form please do so ASAP.  Also I am still missing some activity fees.  The money from the activity fee is what I use to fund the purchase of costumes and  props and tshirts before we get any revenue from ticket sales.  

Tickets are now on sale in two ways.  Use the attached form (which is also on the ticket page of the website) or go lo line to http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/371817.

Still looking for businesses to advertise in the program.  Watch for an email about personal ads in the program.  

Posters are in so I need a few people to take them to each of the local elementary schools (Forest Park, Chapman, Bridlemile and Ainsworth)  and coffee shops, libraries, grocery stores, etc.  

Only 4 weeks until the show and there is still lots to do.  I thank you in advance for your help!

Hamlet 4/8 Update

1.  Below is the rehearsal schedule for April.  Paul will set the May schedule towards the end of April.  The schedule will be determined by the progress at that time.  Actors should be expected to be called more often in May.  
2. Please complete and return the Headshot/Bio Sheet asap which can be found at www.eastwestsylvandrama.com at the bottom of the first page.  Headshots and bios are included in the program so we need to have enough time to complete and print the program before the show.  Thanks to Kristina Kurtz for taking on the task of putting the program together!
3.  A source of revenue for the drama club is the sale of ads in the program.  Please consider purchasing an ad if you have a business or asking a friend, family member or someone you know who has a business to purchase an ad.  Ad purchase information is on the website.
4.  Holly Smiley will be sending a message about personal ads.  You, family members, friends, anyone can purchase a personal ad for a cast or crew member.  These ads, which usually say Good luck or Break a leg or Great job, appear in the program.  The kids love to see these messages so please respond promptly to Holly's email.
5.  Auditions for the technical crew will be April 15 at 4pm in the lower gym at West Sylvan.  Students who want to be involved in theater but don't want to be onstage should audition.  They get to work on sets and costumes, run the lights and sound during the show and be general stage hands.
