ITW Change of order for Sunday

Dear Cast/Crew,

We are going to start at 10:45 a.m. with Act I and (hopefully) go straight into Act II.

*Make-up/hair/costumes will be towards the end of the day.
*You MUST BE READY TO GO AT 10:45 a.m.
*Arrive by 10:30 a.m., that is perfect.
*Bring snacks, lunch.

NO FOOD IN THE AUDITORIUM.

*Sit on the sides of the auditorium.
*Do NOT walk in front of the stage.
*Enter and exit from the back of the auditorium.

Remember Theater Horizon's comments...your character is on a journey.

*What does your character want?  
*What is your character's motivation?
*What they want will change during the play....hence, your body language will change as well.
*What are your character's objective?

Leads!

You all did so well at the Theater Horizon
workshop.  Please remember what you learned today,  and bring that to the JHS Stage!!!!

Into the Woods tickets now available!

https://red.vendini.com/ticket-software.html?t=tix&e=92eca54110007d63e2610454a2ece43a

James Lapine & Stephen Sondheim take everyone's favorite storybook characters and bring them together for a timeless, yet relevant, piece. This Tony Award-winning musical follows a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch's spell, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone's wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them.

Notes from Mikayla :) 

1) Make sure you're looking out into the audience (not looking back to see what other people are doing behind you) (know your stuff rather than relying on others to guide you)

2) Energy  :)
