Just a little over two weeks until the show opens! The excitement is building.
Saturday's rehearsal was busy and productive. Ask your cast/crew member how it went.
This week is rehearsal as usual with the added bonus of a sitzprobe on Friday for both casts. Sitzprobe (German) is a term used in opera and musical theatre to describe a seated rehearsal where the singers sing with the orchestra, focusing attention on integrating the two groups. It is often the first rehearsal where the orchestra and singers rehearse together. This is a more of a technical rehearsal for the cast with lots of stops and starts but extremely important and attendance is mandatory. We will work with the cast about what is expected of them. Sitzprobe rehearsal is right after school until 6:30 pm.
Wednesday is the teaser at Lincoln for the cast members in 6, 7, & 8 grade. Please bring your CAST t-shirt to wear. We plan to leave the Sylvans at 10:20 and return by 12:10. If you have not completed a permission slip, which was emailed to you, please do so and send it with your cast member to rehearsal. If you have a scanner, then print the permission slip, sign it, scan it and email it back to me. No permission slip means no attending the teaser.
We need one more driver. Please contact me ASAP if you can help. Otherwise we will have to do a lottery on who gets left behind.
Committee chairs are working hard to make sure all is ready for opening night. Thanks to all of you for answering the call for volunteers! The return on all your volunteer hours will be clear on show nights!
