Please be there at the same time (the rest of the ensemble) and reh all the other numbers in the lobby. Alan and Jodi please reveiw what you know. And I will be there to help. You have lest than a week to perform. It's time to give all that you have. Know you choreography. You are on stage. Look good. Where your heals ladies and boys where your shoes. Don't bitch, don't moan. Just work. Once again. If you can not make it let the producers or marc know. Thanks.

Sunday

Exciting to hear the mini-orchestra rehearsal today. Nate Frye has so many different instruments to play that I believe he may explode with joy.

Remember that starting this week, rehearsals are as long as it takes. AND as of tomorrow, we are supposed to be off book.

Ed has been building many things. There is now plenty of painting to do this week for anyone who is free during the day to help out.

Next Week

Sunday afternoon the orchestra (or rather, most of the orchestra) will practice starting at 2:00.

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday we will be running the entire show. OFF BOOK! Please note that we will be switching from "rehearse until 9:00" mode to "rehearse until we're done" mode.

Thursday night will be rehearsal for choreography on the main stage.

Friday and Saturday are for finishing construction and painting. If something seems to desperately require rehearsally attention, Friday night is when we'll do it. But I don't think that's going to happen.

Saturday night is the parade. Remember that we need folks to ride the float. Every bit of promotion helps.

Sunday is the Fourth of July. Go blow something up and eat outdoor food, but don't forget to brush up your lines etc.

I see you.

Hello my dancers. Just a reminder. I see you when your sleeping. I see you when your wake. I see you if you practicing or not. So you better watch out. You better not cry. You better dance. Im telling you why. I will throw shoes at you.

I see you.

I see you when your sleeping. I see when your awake. I know if you've been practicing or not. So PRACTICE. For the love of god.

The Coming Week

Monday night - ACT I
Tuesday night - ACT II
Wednesday night - ACT I
Thursday night - ACT II

OFF BOOK BY THE 28th !

We are moving right along, but so is the calendar!!

THIS WEEK

Tonight there will be music rehearsal at 7:30 for principals.

Tuesday at 6:30 running Act II at theater'

Wednesday and Thursday 6:30 at Studio 22 for dance plus maybe some music on Thursday.

SUNDAY NIGHT CHANGE

We've already done the basic blocking that we were going to do Sunday, so I'd like to use the time to go back to scenes 8 and 9 of act I with everyone who's involved and finish pinning that down. We'll work some music, too, while we're at it.

I am a fortunate director-- this cast has so far just kept giving me what I was hoping for and more. I'm popping in to dance rehearsals and what I see there is exciting.

BOO-YAH

Or whatever it is we say in the theater when we have just kicked ass. The five principals blocked the entire second act tonight and worked the musical numbers as well. Once we add the awesome ensemble, we'll have Act II totally licked. Totally.

Dance Rehearsal Thursday June 10

There will be a dance rehearsal on Thursday June 10th at the studio.

6:00-6:30. Dance Leads
6:30-8:30. Remaining Ensemble plus Bret and Terri.

Thanks - see you Thursday at the studio.

Marc

Hope to see nearly everyone tonight (Suzi has that whole barfing thing going on) at 6:30 at the theater.

Monday night I have been pulled in to work on Baccalaureate at FHS, so while there are some as needed things on our collective plate, we won't be getting to them then.

Dance Practice

Marc will have a more complete practice schedule this Thursday.

This Thursday he needs all the dancers (ensemble) till 8, and then Terri and the cowsteppers from 8-9.
