Nice Read-Through & Tomorrow's Schedule

Great read-through today, everyone. I'm really psyched for us as we begin this fun show. Since many are getting ready to head out for Florida, we're going to make tomorrow's practice a bit shorter and mainly focus on blocking Act 1, Scene 1. Let's meet in the theater at 3:00 and plan to meet until about 4:15 to block that out. Neil has a previous engagement, but the other actors should aim to meet including Newsboy 1, Newsboy 2, Madge Larrabee, Forman, Teresa, Sid, Sherlock, Alice.

If you didn't get a script, I'll scrounge up the extra copies and make some additional ones and place them in the bins on the wall near Mrs. Penn's desk in the faculty office. Please pick up a script so you can learn your lines over break. See many of you after what is hopefully a restful spring break!

Final Cast List

Thanks for your patience, actors, and for your time and dedication already to make this a great show. Again, if I could cast all of the great actors in our show, I would, but unfortunately there are a limited number of roles. If you didn't make the final list, we could really still use your help. A show involves so much more creativity than just the acting, so please help to fuel your creativity in the other aspects of the show. There is a tech meeting tomorrow after school where you can learn more.

Here's the list!

A note to those cast as the Londoners -- our plan is to add some characters and color to the London street scenes. This means that we may add additional lines and interactions there. While I have some ideas for these interactions, begin thinking about the types of characters and actions you could add to make these moments even more interesting and fun. As you can see on our calendar, we'll rehearse these street scenes on Wednesdays. We can talk more about these moments during tomorrow's read-through.

See you all tomorrow!

Final Cast List Note

Good evening actors. Again, thanks for such a strong performance both during auditions and callbacks. I've talked with the other directors and have gone over our exhaustive notes and, while most roles have become quite clear, I'd like a little more time to discuss some additional notes with the directors. I'll post the list tomorrow as soon as possible and, as promised, will send out a text alert when it is posted.

As the calendar shows, our read through will be this Thursday after school. Looking forward to starting this exciting production with such a great group.

Stay posted!

The Real Callback List

Again, great job to everyone who auditioned. In order to help the directors continue to clarify roles, we'd like the following actors to come back tomorrow to perform selections from the script. We'll schedule for our callback session to go from 3:00 - 5:00 in the choir room, but I'd like to ideally finish before then. Thanks so much to everyone for your time and commitment!
