Revised Show Schedule - Please Read

In consultation with our creative team, the (SW)2 T-Board, and your scheduled conflicts, and as a result both of days lost prior to Winter Break and the potential for more lost days in the next 2 weeks, I have built a new schedule for the production that accomplishes our goals of 1) Seeing the show through to performance, 2) Doing our best quality work, and 3) Wrapping our process in time for Spring Sports practices to begin.  The schedule is posted in detail on the linked Google Sheet Calendar

-The first key to reading the schedule is to know that every actor and management team member is now officially called every day there is rehearsal (tech calls are excluded).  Actors, when not actively involved in staging or music rehearsal should be working on memorization, dialect work, movement, individual music, or homework.  We need the flexibility to use our time in rehearsal efficiently, and we need to insure that actors are making measurable progress on show-related work (which has not yet been consistent).  SMs will be available to help and facilitate work.  **Note: all listed, posted, and communicated conflicts will be respected…new ones will be addressed as possible, but my first priority is the ensemble as a whole and the show.

-The second key is the show moving one week later into February.  We will be teching beginning February 6^th, with the show opening February 16^th, closing February 25^th, and striking February 26^th. This insures we have adequate time to make up for that we lost, and any future delays due to inclement weather.  This also insures we are still wrapped in time for tryouts for Spring Sports, Solo/Ensemble, etc.  All key dates have shifted, so make sure and check the calendar.

One of the ‘joys’ of collaborating on a piece of live theatre is the thrill of uncertainty…where any number of things can step in and potentially derail the entire project.  That is also why there is such a fulfilling reward when you overcome those variables and create a truly inspiring work of art with your peers and move an audience emotionally.  We took a number of curveballs up front, but I know we can still hit this one out of the park.  That work starts now.

See you all very soon!
