Sunday, Feb. 27

Goooood morning, everyone!

Today is tech. We open in five days (counting today). Surprise!

Call is 10 AM. We'll start with a cue-to-cue, break for a bit to regroup, then do a full run-through. It's still snowing out, so please take the roads into consideration; stay safe, try not to be late, and call me if you run into trouble or delays.

Feb. 26 - Build

10 AM, peoples. See you at build if you don't want me to serve you a knuckle sandwich.

I'm kidding. I'd just punch you. I'm not going to the trouble of making you a meal.

Wednesday, Feb. 23

Hi, everyone!

Tonight is another full run-through at the Good Beans. First dress isn't till Monday, but those of you who have costume changes may want to start working the changes to be sure that you have enough time.

Call time is 7 PM for everyone except Tresa. Tresa, you talked to me a few weeks ago about not being able to come in today through Friday, but let me know if you were able to take any time off.

Tuesday, Feb. 22: Two Runs

Tonight, everyone is called at the Good Beans at 7, when we will be starting the first of two run-throughs. I recommend being a bit early. No scripts in hand. I will have most props set out - alert me if you are missing something.

Change: Monday CANCELLED

Hi, all!

The roads are still fairly crappy, so we will be cancelling rehearsal Monday, Feb. 21.

What this means for your week:

Tomorrow, Feb. 22, we will be doing a dual run-through. Be ready to begin the first run at 7:00; once we're done, we'll reset and do it all again. Study your lines today - no scripts in hand tomorrow for any part, even monologues.

Be careful on the roads today!

Monday, Feb. 21

Hello, all -

Tonight's call is 7 PM at the Good Beans for everyone. We should have our coffin today - hooray!

Friday, February 18, 2011

Saturday, Feb. 19 - Dan's Place

Saturday, we'll be recording the Brady Lennox Show at Dan's place.

Call times:

12 Noon for Hampton, Brady, Daniel, and Vanruegen

(Ethan, you'd better be there, too.)

Call if you need directions, anyone who has suddenly developed amnesia.

Friday, Feb. 18 - Liz's Apartment

Hi, all -

Today is another off-book work day; we'll be running the majority of the show, out of order.

Call times:

7:00 for Bills and Sharp
7:30 for Christy, Hampton, Danny, and Earl
7:45 for Shana and Lucina

Lucina, we may cancel your call tonight; I'll phone you if that's the case.

Wednesday, Feb. 16: Liz's Apartment

Hi, everyone -


Tonight's rehearsal will be at my apartment, but I will be absent, so if you get lost or can't find the buzzer, call Shelly - she will be unlocking.


Call time:

7 PM for everyone except Gretchen, Tresa, Lucina, and Vanruegen


We will be working the show, but we'll probably run it out of order, letting people go as their parts are done. Those of you who are confident in your lines are awesome; however, since I'll be out tonight, we'll let everyone have your books today (for one last day!). If you want to be off book, secure one of the watchers to give you lines.


After the rehearsal, you may want to come by The Zoo on Saginaw St. to check out the second half of tonight's burlesque show. The Fischer Bodies will love it if you do!

Tuesday, Feb. 15: OFF BOOK

Happy Feast Day of St. Skeletor, everyone!

Today is our off-book run-through. Everyone is called at the cafe at 7PM. We'll do some notes first, possibly fix a couple of blocking things, and then head into our run. I will have most of the props for the show (or their stand-ins), too.

Monday, February 14, 2011

Monday, Feb. 14: Happy VD (it hurts to pee)!

That joke never gets old.



For tonight, we're at the Good Beans - we'll be working some fights first and then attempting to plow our way through the entire show! Awesome! We may end up skipping a couple of scenes because of our missing people, but we'll probably have volunteers (or me) read in so we can get a good time for the show.



If you haven't already, please bring in some clothes tonight that you think will work for your costume. I'll email you individually with any requests we have. Think of things you believe are in character.



Tonight's calls:

7 PM for Dan G, Gretchen, Earl, and Hampton

7:30 for everyone else except Danny and Detective Sharp




Tomorrow is Off Book - remember to study your lines!

Friday, February 11, 2011

Other stuff!

Dear Earl folks,

While our show is going on, please don’t forget that there are a bunch of other shows opening this weekend! The Great Gilly Hopkins is going on at Flint Youth, and U of M Flint is doing The Ruby Sunrise. Go see ‘em! If there are others I’ve forgotten about, let me know!

Friday, Feb. 11: Liz's Apartment

Hi, everyone! Sorry for the late post - I got wrapped up in designing costumes and trying to decide if fall-front trousers looked too Colonial American for Evido to wear.

Aaaaanyway, today's rehearsal will be at my apartment - call if you somehow get lost.

Call times:
7 PM for Christy Banks and Earl
7:30 for Shana, Hampton, and Danny

Family, please remember to bring something in character so we can take our family photos tonight. I'll have some prop-type things you can play with, too. Danny, if you have a teddy bear or a blanket that looks like a child might carry it around, could you bring that?

Thanks!
