Play On! 1/25

Folks,

Nice work tonight!

Stay focused...energized.

A few reminders:

1.  All cast members MUST get a 3 ring binder by this weekend. (place your xeroxed scripts in them)

2.  Begin writing your "faux" bios.  I need them (and your legit bios) by February 20th. I will need the "faux" logo much sooner.

3. Our Ad Drive has begun.  Please sell at least 2 Ads.  This too, needs to be done by February 20th.

4. Geranium Fund Raiser.  I will need two cast members to help run this event.  The monies generated from this fundraiser supports the fall musical.  Let's keep our motivation going.

5.  Pg.5-25 need to be memorized by the first weekend in February.

You are a very nice group of young people to work with. I love your laughter and camaraderie.

Bravo to you all.

Lys

Hello Everyone,

Tomorrow night, we will begin character "backstories" as well as staging Pages 5-27.  

For the "backstories", please refer to the Character Analysis Questions for guidance.

All characters in Pages 5-27 will stay to block (if time permits) after the backstories have completed.

No rehearsal on Wednesday evening.

I will post the schedule by Friday for the rest of the run.


Character "backstory" relationships that need to be developed:

Billy and Violet
Henry and Polly 
Smitty and her Mother
Aggie, Louise, Gerry
Violet and Saul
Saul and Polly
Phyllis and Polly
Saul, Henry, Billy
Phyllis and Gerry

You will be presenting the backstories to the rest of the cast!

Take Care and keep warm!

Lys

Thank you!

Dear Friends,

Thank you so much for your time and willingness to make sure that the callback process was a true success last night.

Finding the right actor for any given character (in a play) is a very difficult and time consuming task, and it must be done with care and forethought.

It is always imperative to keep the integrity of the show while maintaining a proper balance of skill, dedication, and a sense of community among the cast.

I will post the cast list Friday evening.  I did my best to accommodate all actors requests, keeping in mind what role was best suited for them.

You are all a wonderful group of young people.  How lucky Jenkintown is to have you representing our theater department.

Be well,

Lys
