Harvey Update!

So.....now that we have a few hours to relax....why not write your bio?
I will NOT accept any bios after this weekend. What about Ads? What a great time to ask friends and family members.

Why not memorize Act I?

Those of you who are going to Norristown tomorrow...you need to somehow get back no later than 7:30 p.m. We are running Act II and Act III.

Please see what you can do to get to rehearsal.

No more time to waste.

Tickets are being ordered today as are the posters.

I am holding off on Tee-Shirts. I tend to order them, folks take them.....and many do not pay. If we want the shirts (which are cool and a great way to publicize the show)...terrific. You ALL must pay when you order. 


The order I would need to place by next Monday.

See you soon!

Harvey at Whole Foods!!!!

Hello Friends,
So...please remember to focus today.

We need to arrange the Community Room and try and get all 3 Acts in. We can do this as long as no one is on their cells and we are ready to create.

We will also have to put the room back to the way it was when we leave.

The school does have power but it is freezing cold.

See you all at 12:50 p.m.


Lys

Harvey Update!

Good Morning Everyone,
Whole Foods at 1:00 p.m. seems to be our plan for today. There is a sign that says Community Room above the door (not a double door).

I would gladly adopt all of you who still do not have power. I am so sorry to hear that some are still without it. Hang in there!

Lys

Sunday at Whole Foods!

We have rehearsal space!
Tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. we will all gather at the Jenkintown Whole Foods and rehearse in their Community Room.

No understudies except for Dr. Sanderson (Mr. Yeager you are on!!!!).

The Community Room is located to the right of the produce department. There are double doors for us to use.

Please...Please...remember that we represent The JHS Theater Arts Department. You will be kind, courteous and wonderful (as you always are).

We have the space for two hours...so lets rock. Be on time.

If the power goes on at school-our rehearsal time will change to the morning.

Many thanks for Whole Foods for providing us with rehearsal space.

Peace out!

Lys

Harvey Update......

Good Morning!
As of now...we will NOT have rehearsal today. Study your lines and lets hope for tomorrow....11:00 a.m. we start Act I.

See you all soon!

Harvey-the weekend of no POWER!!!!


Hello All,

JHS is still without power.

Would it be possible to go to someone's home and run Act 2 and 3 tomorrow?

Then....Sunday....if all goes well and we have power....we can run the entire show.....and start at 11:00 a.m.

We are almost a month out....and can't afford losing a weekend.

Thoughts?



We could pause on tomorrow-but need to focus and be serious for the remaining time in preparation for Harvey.



I need all Bios by next week and I would like everyone to bring in at least 2 Ads by February 16th.!!!!! 
The forms are on the blog. Anyone want to go to Lindy Properties? They have been great supporters this far.

Peace~

Lys
