This is a short and sweet one, because you all know the drill. :) Tonight, we start the process of familiarizing ourselves with our performance venue. Please pack your patience. We will need everyone's cooperation...and in full disclosure...it still will probably not go super smoothly. I am going to do my best to keep us organized and on track. Please meet me with that same intensity and consideration for the impending chaos!
We can use the Danville auditorium beginning at 7pm tonight. If you can, arrive a few minutes early, and use the main entrance by the flagpole. The kids will be released at 9pm. Adults, I may keep you later to work through some other staging.
1. Please continue to check the rehearsal schedule. If something changes, I will alert you. However, look to the Hooverville page to confirm that you have the correct start and end times for rehearsals and Long Saturday. If you need transportation assistance from The Biz to Danville on Long Saturday, please contact me at lurvelyrachel@gmail.com or send me a note through Remind.
2. You all are working so hard - and it's paying off!!!! I appreciate your continued efforts. KEEP practicing and working those songs and dances. There is some terrific buzz about your show, and I know audiences will be wow'ed. Now is the time to ramp up to fully mature character development and 100% practicing as you will perform.
3. Continue to push ticket sales and invite your friends. I have a few postcards and posters left. It is the PERFECT time to start publicizing. These next two weeks are the critical to engaging our potential audience. Share, like, comment, hang posters, invite friends, family, strangers...talk us up wherever you go! They won't be disappointed.
4. I need a bit of help as I am trying to get our set furniture figured out. There are a few holes, and if anyone has access or a connection to any of the items below, it would help me immensely. I am not looking for perfect matches...just the style.
In addition, we are still in need of some set crew for the show. If you know of anyone, please let me know. Since we will be using some of my personal furniture for the show, I really need a few more ADULTS. THANK YOU!
Items still on the hunt for include:
Warbucks Desk and Chair (examples below)
I need more than one, these are taller/longer style coffee tables
Please let me know if you have any thoughts!
Final thing: PLEASE make every effort to stay healthy. Get some rest when you can. Wash your hands frequently/use hand sanitizer. Take your vitamins. HYDRATE and eat right!
We're in the home stretch. Love you all and see you tonight!
