These Girls Rock-the House!!!!!


Response to Ryan and more information. . . .

Good Morning All,
Ryan...thank you for your wonderful post.
These past few weeks have been fantastic.
We have a terrific group of students; new members to our theater family and seasoned ones. It is up to us all to give 110% and make this the best production thus far.
If you know of folks who were unable to attend Boot Camp, perhaps you can help them with the dance? They will be very lost when we meet again.
Yes!! Practice what you have learned. Sell Mums and start thinking about Ads.
I will be asking for Bios the second week of school-no "last minute" anything this year.
I will also post the "sides" for auditions and specific singing sections.
I do suggest folks who want parts to look at all the possibilities (character breakdown is on the blog).
There are only a certain amount of roles-especially for the men! Don't limit yourself-think outside the box.
September 10th-at 7:15 p.m. there will be rehearsal for anyone who would like to work on audition material. We will meet in the chorale room.
I will check my schedule for this coming thursday. If it is open-I will designate times for cast members seeking roles, to come and work.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Go Little Shop!!!!!!

A note from a Senior Cast Member...please read

Hey everyone,


Today (or yesterday depending on when you are reading this) was the last day of our boot camp and we say goodbye to you for over 2 weeks.
I am writing this post because on the past, this chunk of time is a lot shorter, but even so, a lot of information learned has been forgotten during this time. This year, we learned more info, but I don't want you to forget these songs and dances.
It's scary to think that 2 months after our first practice, the show will be over, but that's the reality of the situation. We cannot afford to go backwards. The people who missed these weeks will get us off to a slow start, but once they are up to speed, then we go full throttle all the way up to November 14th.
So everyone, please please PLEASE! Keep listening to the music and keep dancing in your mirrors or wherever, but don't forget about what we learned. The show will be as good as our worst member and we all need to work together And everyone in the cast is just as important as the next person.
Can't wait to see you all again when school starts and the rehearsals get up and running!

Ryan
