Hey guys,

As it looks right now, there will not be rehearsal in the bishop center this Monday or Tuesday because of strings. I do not know at this moment what Mr. Ewing has planned otherwise, so I will just put down his original schedule (including Monday and Tuesday)

Sept 22-25
Monday: Swamp/Laker girls, Always Look, Tappers. 4-5:30
Tuesday: Fisch Schlap, Not Yet Dead, Brave Sir Robin. 4-5:30 Wednesday: Jew Song, Knights of the Round Table, Can-Can. 4-6 Thursday: review 4-6
Nothing Friday-Sunday

Sept 29-Oct 2
Monday: Principles to Bishop Center. Girls to chorus room 4-5:30 Tuesday: principles to Bishop Center. Boys to chorus room 4-5:30 Wednesday: Review 4-6
Thursday: Review 4-6
Nothing Friday-Sunday

This is subject to change (especially this Monday and Tuesday) and I’ll get back to you as soon as those changes are made.

Have a good Sunday!

Shen

Here is the Samba with the “natural roll” that I was trying to find in rehearsal. It is done several ways in the first two minutes of this dance. This will help give you a clearer idea of how to execute the step.

• Hello!
• Small snafu on the last schedule update. Just had us off by a day. It’s been updated.
• While tech is still far away, I thought I’d share the general shape of it…
• On the Saturday before we open, we typically insert all of the lighting cues, sound cues, and polish the scene changes. It is a long day, but a productive one. We’ll have firmer times when we near the days and know what we’re dealing with, but these are general guidelines:
• The crew comes in around ten or eleven. The cast comes in around noon. We work until around eight or nine with a meal break. It takes a surprising amount of time because of the number of “moving pieces” that finally come together. No one student is working for the entire time, but they may be needed at a second’s notice. In the downtime, they are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED to bring headphones, find a corner, and stay on task with homework. It can be a very productive time if approached with focus, and I’m happy to help in any way I can.
• Sunday is typically another tech, but shorter. Usually around 1-6. (Shorter, I hope!!)
• Monday-Thursday are dress rehearsals. We tend to have “go” around 6:00 or 6:30 because of when the orchestra can arrive. There will be meals and a bit of down time for prep that can be good for homework if the actor can carve out the quiet space.
• Friday before opening is typically a resting day before the big push.
• Two things to note….
• Friends and family members are invited to watch ANY rehearsal. The actors love having any kind of audience, and if you’ve arrived early, it can help pass some time.
• During runs (just prior to tech weekend), tech weekend, and dress rehearsals, end times can be a bit unpredictable. Please know that we keep an eye on cast wellbeing at all times and sometimes unpredictable X factors can make things run longer (or even shorter) than expected.
• If I can be of any help, please let me know! Email me directly at charltonx or call me at 865 310 8668.
• Best,
• Patrick McCray
