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.)
