A few bits of information before everyone checks out for the holiday:
The week that we return to school 11/26 - 1129, there will be rehearsal for the entire cast and crew everyday (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) from after school until 6.
The following week Dec 3, 4 & 5 there will be dress rehearsal until 8. The ending time might change depending on progress. Cast and crew need to bring food for their "dinner". Dinner break will be at 6:15.

More details about show nights will be distributed the week we get back to school.
Please gather your costumes during the break, as requested by our Lisa, our costume guru. She has been putting in loads of hours getting things ready so she appreciates your help!

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.

9/17 Rehearsal Update - already!
As I stated previously, the rehearsal schedule is subject to change, so here is the first one.

A more specific schedule will come out once the music is learned.
Look forward to seeing many of you for a brief Parent meeting on Wednesday, 9/19 at 5:45, not 3:45, in room 138.

ANNIE Update 9/17
1) After a lovely weekend, I know that all the cast members will be full of energy for the first week of Annie rehearsals. The following schedule is in effect until the end of September, at which point it may be changed, depending on the progress.
3) On September 19, at 5:45pm in room 138, there will be a 15 minute parent meeting. This will be a time for parents to ask the directors and producer questions and to return forms and checks. Back to school night at West Sylvan is on the same night so the meeting will be brief. If you have a 7th or 8th grader, you will be early enough to get parking. If you cannot make the meeting please send forms to rehearsal with your student.

The packet contains lots of details so please read carefully. Included is a volunteer sheet. The success of the musical production relies on parent volunteers so I ask you to give your time in your area of interest or expertise. When specific needs arise I will be making once off requests. Please complete the necessary forms and return on September 19 during the parent meeting. An activity fee is also due at this time.3) On September 19, at 5:45pm in room 138, there will be a 15 minute parent meeting.

Everyone must attend! There can be no absences or early dismissal! This will be the first time experiencing the scaffold set and all the props.

Please bring your own makeup bag containing foundation, eyeliner, mascara, lipstick, hairbrush and hair clips/ribbons if desired. Sharing makeup and hairbrushes is strongly discouraged for hygiene reasons! Makeup will be left in the drama room.
There will be a dinner break around 6pm. Cast and crew members must bring their own dinner. Parents may bring their cast/crew member a hot dinner.

Week of November 14
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!

Week of November 7th Update
Since there is no school this Thursday, November 10, there will be no rehearsal.
Last Saturday's rehearsal was great! Lots got done and we celebrated Andrew's birthday! Thanks to everyone for bringing costumes. Paul had a few specific comments, so ask your cast member if he/she has any changes to his/her costume.
This Saturday, November 12, we get to do the whole thing all over again!!!! (except the Andrew's birthday part). Same list applies:
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.
Also, the set for the stage is scaffolding. I have arranged to rent scaffolding from Barbur Rentals. Before I pay for delivery, I would like know if anyone has access to a truck that could transport 20 sections of 5x5 scaffolding during the day on Monday, November 28th?

Your friends” “Jane, you are our star. Love, Grandma” or “We love you. Mom and Dad” Personal messages are $10 and the check should be made out to West Sylvan PTA and sent to school with your cast/crew member. The kids love counting how many messages they receive!

Last Saturday's rehearsal was great! Lots got done and we celebrated Andrew's birthday! Thanks to everyone for bringing costumes. Paul had a few specific comments, so ask your cast member if he/she has any changes to his/her costume.
This Saturday, November 12, we get to do the whole thing all over again!!!! (except the Andrew's birthday part). Same list applies:
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.
Also, the set for the stage is scaffolding. I have arranged to rent scaffolding from Barbur Rentals. Before I pay for delivery, I would like know if anyone has access to a truck that could transport 20 sections of 5x5 scaffolding during the day on Monday, November 28th? Please let me know ASAP if you do have a truck.
