Act I Script Given Out This Week!
Please bring a 3 Ring Binder to rehearsal on Saturday. Your actor will be receiving their script and it is best if the script goes directly into a binder. Don’t forget to bring the binger on Saturday!
 
CONFLICTS & Missing Rehearsal
At the time of auditions, you turned in your actor's conflict calendar. Danielle and the production director, Miss Christie, have complied a Master Conflict Calendar with everyone's conflicts. Your actor is excused for all conflicts listed at auditions but UNEXCUSED for ANY OTHER ABSENCES. If your actor is an unexcused no-show, you will receive a phone call and ROLES WILL BE REDUCED at the discretion of the Artistic Team in the best interest of the show. It cannot be emphasized enough - it is TREMENDOUSLY IMPORTANT for ALL ACTORS to ATTEND ALL REHEARSALS!!!
 
NO ABSENCES ALLOWED in October unless previously noted in your conflict calendar. Your actor will practice so hard that he/she'll want to enjoy every minute on stage!
 
However, if your actor is sick - DO NOT SEND THEM TO REHEARSAL. If someone comes to rehearsal sick, they could infect everyone in the cast and that just wouldn't be good. In the case of illness email
anniewarbucks@bayareaetc.org as soon as possible.
 
Calling all Dads and Moms!
One scene in Act Two needs YOU - no experience required. Tech crew parents strongly encouraged. Rehearsals will be Monday nights in mid-late Oct. No audition necessary! Get your 'acting' feet wet and share the stage with your child. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for family fun. Interested parents should reply to this e-mail.

We will be at the warehouse every weekend during rehearsal time. There are only seven weekends to complete all the set pieces before we take them to the Cañada theater. We need everyone to give as many hours as they can. Friends and family are welcome to help, and you get credit for the hours they work as well. Hope to see you this weekend!
