Now that we're in and moving on this quaint little play of ours (ha!) I have a couple of notes for groups involved with the show:
1) Crew Leads/Apprentices - I am actively working with our design partners to build the schedule for our builds and meetings toward the show. Know that you have nothing to commit to prior to the end of Winter Break. I will be posting a tech schedule, though, before we get back, so be ready to go once the Break is over!
2) For all cast and crew, remember you've agreed to a production fee to help us source the project. I hate that pay-to-play is a part of public school activities, but the realities are that they are. On that note, here is/are the timeline/details you need to know -
a) Cast: $100 by January 7 [either online in SchoolPay under 'Midsummer/Jersey' by Ken Ludwig (2021-22 Winter Play) Cast Fee, or in person to the IBWHS Bookkeeper]
b) Crew: $25 by January 14 [either online in SchoolPay under 'Midsummer/Jersey' by Ken Ludwig (2021-22 Winter Play) Crew Fee, or in person to the IBWHS Bookkeeper]
As always, if you or your family have a situation where the fee is a financial hardship, please speak with me (Miller) as soon as possible...we can make arrangements.
3) During the Winter Break there are no rehearsals or builds...but the show will stall significantly if you take that full two weeks away from things show-related. Make sure that every day (yes, that includes the Holidays) you are doing something show related. It doesn't have to be big, maybe reading one Act, working on some lines, reviewing some blocking, whatever...but it needs to be something to keep your mind engaged with the project. We will really struggle if folks are coming back not having kept our work fresh in some way. Commit the time...it'll pay off in the end.
Hope you all have a wonderful holiday break!
