Updates: Dec. 15th, 2010

Hello everyone!
Just a few quick announcements:

The rehearsal schedule on this website (found under the tab at the top of this page, marked "Rehearsal Schedule") has been revised. Monday music rehearsals will now run until 5pm. Please print and use this new and revised schedule so you'll have all of the latest information.

Also, if you have any large, empty hairspray or similar looking aerosol cans, please bring them to rehearsal instead of throwing them out. Stage managers will be collecting them at rehearsals, to deliver to our Props department. Thank you!

More news to come shortly; please keep checking the website and your emails regularly.

Auditions Part 2 / Callbacks Part 1

Congratulations to everyone who received a callback! The first round of callbacks will take place tonight (Wednesday) from 7 to 9 pm in the auditorium and chorus room.

If you did not receive a callback, please do not worry. Please understand that callbacks for other roles and featured singers and dancers will be posted tomorrow (Thursday) morning.

The final cast list will be posted Friday morning. Please do not ask about whether or not an email will be sent out ahead of Friday morning - there will not be such an email.

Break a leg, everyone!

Auditions Part 1

Thank you so much to everyone who auditioned today! This will definitely be one of the largest GHS Drama Club productions we've had in a few years, and it's all very exciting to say the least.

The Acting/Dancing Cont. auditions will take place tomorrow (Tuesday), same time (6-9pm - try to come 5-10 minutes early if you can), same place (chorus room/auditorium).

Please check in with Cassidy, Rati and/or myself (Laura) outside the chorus room at the beginning of rehearsal. We will ask you to check that we have correctly entered your full name and email address into our list, and ask you to tell us what grade you're in. Then we'll give you a number sticker (same number as yesterday) and we'll continue with the rest of auditions.

If you need sides for the acting portion of the audition, or the dance step instructions for the continuation of the dancing audition, please see Dr. Nash in the chorus room right after 8th period tomorrow (Tuesday). Pick your 1 favorite scene and be prepared to read/perform it for your acting audition.

Break a leg everyone, and have fun!

Hairspray Auditions!

Hey everyone!
I'm sure you're all extremely excited/anxious/nervous for auditions on Monday, so here are a few quick reminders:

• Pick a song to sing that you think suits your voice the best. It does not have to be a song that is sung by a character as which you would like to be cast. For example, if you want to sing "Ladies' Choice" for your audition, we will consider you for all roles, not just for that of Link Larkin.
• You will be asked to fill out an audition profile form at Monday's rehearsal. If you would like to take some time to do that this weekend, you may print the form off of this website by clicking the button at the top of this page, "Hairspray Audition Forms."
• Most importantly (and we really mean this), have fun! If you're having fun on stage, it shows. And Hairspray is going to be an awesome, fun show, right?!

On another note, anyone who has not yet filled out Points Forms for working events for our last show, You Can't Take It With You, you may do so by clicking the button at the top of this page, "Points Forms." If you see a drama club sandwich board around town, please pick it up and drop it off at the school. If you can't get to the school that day, either keep it with you until you can drop it off at the school, or leave it there until a more opportune date.

Finally, the rehearsal schedule for Hairspray will be posted by the end of this week, so be sure to tell your parents that they can come to www.theghsdramaclub.blogspot.com to keep up with when and where you'll need to be for the next few months. (Very handy, for those of us who still rely on our loving parents for after-school transportation.)

Friday, 2/19
9am-3pm with a lunch break from 12-1

T-Shirt Order Forms

T-shirt order forms WILL be accepted tomorrow, Friday the 12th of February. Cash will be accepted - if you totally forget, please, at the very least, LET ME KNOW (and by ME I mean Laura Cryan) if you plan on buying one. Extras will be ordered but not very many - letting me know whether or not you plan on buying one is EXTREMELY helpful. Thanks! :)

Reminders

Don't forget:
Ads are due BEFORE February vacation. If you do not turn in any ads, you will receive negative 2 hours towards Tommies.
T-Shirt order forms are due this Thursday, February 11th. If school is cancelled on Wednesday, they will STILL be due on Thursday, so please DO NOT forget.

Mrs. Copley has generously agreed to have any actors help with the set painting, which they can do for precious hours. Please take advantage of this opportunity.

After school tomorrow, only small groups will be called to rehearsal. However, Sandwich Board Painting and various Costume Fittings will be taking place. Please check with Katie Uricchio regarding the costume fitting schedule, and with Ms. Grinold if you're unsure as to whether or not you must attend tomorrow's rehearsal, which originally called for full cast.

If you are going to be absent, late, or leaving early from a rehearsal, please fill out the Absence Form and follow the instructions at the top of that form.

In the event of a snow day on Wednesday, please take the time to practice and review material from rehearsals, so the day is not completely lost.

Please check your email for updates from Kristen Ambrose, and keep listening to announcements for various reminders.

Important Documents - KEEP ON FILE!

Sandwich Board Painting Cancellation

The sandwich board painting session, originally scheduled for this Saturday, February 6th, has been canceled and is to be rescheduled for a later date. This is due to the change in Saturday's rehearsal schedule, which is for FULL CAST from 9am to 1pm. Set crew is meeting at 12:45pm until later that afternoon.
Apologies for the inconvenience, but there will be ample opportunities in the near future for everyone to earn their hours for Tommies. :)

Don't Forget!

Some additional reminders are.....

1. Remember to get your ad forms in BEFORE February break! Ad forms are available in the office and you need to sell 4 in order to get your full credit for hours! Remember these hours add up, and you'll need them in the end if you want to go to TOMMIES, the end of the year celebration!

2. There are hours forms in the main office if you worked on a crew for building set or painting or doing any other activity that you would receive hours for. You need to have it signed by an officer and give it to Scott Cope.

3. T-shirt order forms are now available in the main office. They are due to Ms. Grinold by Thursday, February 11th. Please be sure to get those in on time, otherwise we cannot guarantee you'll be able to get a t-shirt for the show! (We wouldn't want that now, would we?!)

4. Check the drama club wall, the facebook group, and this website for updates, listen to in-school announcements, and check your email frequently for more news. :)

Sandwich Board Painting and T-shirts!

Anyone interested in earning more hours, there will be a sandwich board painting this Saturday, February 6th, during the morning portion of rehearsal. The set painting crew has been working hard, so it's only fair that we get a bit paint-splattered too :P

Please bring paint clothes, because if you're there and you're not rehearsing, you WILL be painting. :)

ALSO Fiddler on the Roof t-shirt order forms will be distributed at rehearsal on Wednesday (tomorrow!)

:D

Another reminder regarding ads - please get them in ASAP to Tori Wohler or Brent Lorraine.
One last thing, if you're looking for another way to earn hours, or if you just feel like being nice... sandwich boards will soon need tracing, painting, and distributing around town. Check back often for updates, and see me, Laura Cryan, with any questions.

(If you check the website regularly, then... yay! Find me in school sometime this week, mention that you did so, and I'll give you a sticker.)
