TO ACTORS:

The big push is on. Timely attendance is non-negotiable from this point forward. Being on hand for the coming rehearsals is the only way this show will be a success and is a requirement. Similarly, take care of yourself when not at school. I believe you must be here for at least 4 classes in any day to attend a rehearsal or performance.

Over the next few days, there will be many questions as we put things together. After you get off stage from a number, focus on what you need to do next in a serious, “lifeboat drill” sense. Please stay in character and avoid the temptation to laugh, break character, and comment on the plusses and minuses of what just happened on stage.

TO PARENTS:
See above! If questions arise, please text me or call (Mr. McCray) at 865-748-3636. There are no bad questions. We will try to update the blog with our nightly progress when we can. We LOVE having audience members. If you’re providing a ride or even just have extra time, why wait in the car when you can take a comfortable seat and watch the progress.

Best,
Mr. McCray
