Monday Schedule

So we are now to the halfway point of the run. We have been doing good and I believe starting this weekend we will be selling out so tell all your friends and family to get a ticket now.

Just a heads up for tomorrow's show. I will be late, I have errands to run in Provo and won't get back until the show has started so Candice will have the key. She will open up at 6:15. We will do mic checks at 6:30, run Uncle Tom's Cabin at 6:40 and March of the Siamese children at 6:55. We will all need to be downstairs at 7. We will do warm ups at 7:15 and circle up at 7:25. Candice is in charge so listen to her like you always do.

I will get there as soon as I can but I know I will hit traffic in Salt Lake so if I am not there just start without me. I will just come in the back when I get there.

So founded a new theatre company, the link is below. Go check it out and spread the word.

Matinee show

Call time for matinee show for dancers is 12:30, we will be recording it if any moms want to film it for personal use. Not to upload to YouTube. The children will be warming up at 1, with mic checks to follow. Everyone should be back to the theatre by 6:30 for the evening show.

Hi there

Its been really strange not going to the theatre every night.

Some notes this Saturday there is a matinee and evening show, between them we will not have a party. For the one on the 13th we will because we will also be cleaning up in preparation of closing.

Everyone should read the BENJ there is a wonderful write up of our show, especially Uncle Toms Cabin. Wahoo!!!

I will post more later this week about the family shows at the Fine Arts Center.

Warm-ups

Okay YAY, we are at show time. So here is how each day should go:

6 pm- start showing up

6:15- Uncle Tom's Cabin- don't worry about costumes

6:30- Getting to Know You & March of the Siamese Children

6:45- Mic Check

7- Everyone downstairs for warm-ups

7:30 Show starts

Hair

So first off I am so sorry I didn't put this up earlier. I came home from rehearsal to find that the power to my house was out and was restored this morning.

I know this is really late, but, everyone needs Black or really dark brown hair. Except for Anna, Louis & Captain.

I didn't really want to dye everyone's hair but seeing how much of a difference it made with those who did it, convinced me that we needed it. And some moms who stayed and watched agreed.

What I am asking is that those who are willing, would you please dye your hair.

Shanna found some wash-in product at Wal-Mart. So you would have to wash it in each week as it would fade.

The spray is just so darn expensive. So any other alternative is preferred.

So tonight we will have a little pow-wow to come up with a solution.

So please check the blog tomorrow morning to see what your options are.

Reminder Cast Picture Tonight

I forgot to announce at last nights rehearsal that the cast picture will be tonight at 6:30. So if you are in Cast A and want to be in the picture be at the theatre by 6. We have the spray to make all the kids hair black, it washes out don't worry. So girls , children, wives, singers & dancers come with your hair in buns already. Boy you don't need buns but we will also be spraying your hair.

Once we have taken the picture Cast A is excused. We will do warm ups and run through 2 numbers after mic checks and hopefully start by 7:30. We have a small audience tonight so treat it like a performance.

A few more moms have signed up and that is great but we still need more moms or dads to sign up for the the remaining rehearsals as well as performances.

Tonight I will open the theatre at 5:30 but from now on just plan on showing up at 6.

Rehearsals will go late this week

Just so everyone knows, we won't be done until 10pm each night. Please plan carpooling accordingly.

I also need more moms to sign up for supervising each night. Tonight we had no moms and it was hard. It would be preferred if there was 2 moms each night to help one another. The sign up sheet is at the theatre. Please when you drop off your kids you come and sign up for a few days.

Kids, we need you to bring something to do each night. Coloring books, board games, if someone wants to bring a movie and a laptop that would be great. We need to keep you entertained. Also if kids want to bring treats to share that would be fine.

KIDS!!! I went into the dressing room and there were pants on the floor and jackets not hung up and crowns all over the place. We need to take care of our stuff and put it away right.

Rehearsals this week

I will open the doors at 6. Call time is 6:30. You need to be in costume ready to go at 6:30. Today we will be adding mics. Every speaking role but Erik and Cooper will have a mic. We will do warm-ups and run through some numbers and start the show at 7:30.

On Wednesday we will be taking the cast picture at 6:30. So both kids in cast A & B will be there for pictures. Both on Wednesday and Thursday there will be the photographer to take pictures during rehearsal. There will be a CD that you can purchase with all the pictures he takes.

Remember that all the kids need to wear a white shirt.

Rehearsal for Friday and Saturday

So thank you everyone for keeping your Friday open. Here's how it will go down.

6-7:30 Wives, Children, King, Kralohome, Anna, Thiang & Louis.

7-9 Singers, Dancers & Tuptim.

Throughout the rehearsal Shanna & Candice will be practicing with Louis, Tuptim, Lun Tha, Thiang & the Singers.

On Saturday we need all the guards, Troy, KC & Zach at 9 to work scene changes.

Everyone else needs to show up at 9, get into costume and get ready to rehearse. It will be a long day so the earlier we get started the sooner we end. So if everyone is ready to go we can start at 9:30. The goal is to get done by 3. But we will go until we are done.

Remember to bring everything you need for the potluck. See you all soon!

Potluck Saturday

Noreen Mortensen has volunteered to be in charge of the potluck. There will be a sign up at rehearsal each day this week. Please if you are just coming to drop off your kids that you run in and sign up.

If there are any other questions feel free to ask. Thanks for all you do.

Just some notes

Singers we bought your black pants, so don't buy any.

If anyone was making costumes, could you please bring them tomorrrow so that we see what else we need done.

The only dancers that we need tomorrow are the ones who are in Hello Young Lovers. As well as Monday. After that all dancers will be called to all rehearsals.

If we start at 9 tomorrow we hopefully can get done by noon.

Reminder Everyone has rehearsal tonight!

At tonight's rehearsal we will discuss the final rehearsals through opening night.

Everyone needs to be here from 6-9.

We need to add a rehearsal tomorrow for all speaking characters besides Ying Yawlolak starting at 6. We also need all the guards tomorrow from 6-8.

All other important information will be updated tomorrow.

Wives and Singers!

I made a mistake and forgot to put the wives and singers to come from 6-7 to work on Getting to Know you. If you read this could contact your friends to tell them. Thanks!
