PRE ORDER TICKETS

Don't forget that preorder tickets forms can be turned in this week.    :)

Weekly Update

Over the past couple of weeks we have been rehearsing very hard; memorizing lines, blocking our movements onstage, and becoming our characters. We have had two rehearsals especially dedicated to characterization.  During the first, we created little scenes in small groups that helped us understand our character's back stories and whatnot. We wrote silly letters to each other in character, and we helped clarify who our characters are especially close to. During the second characterization rehearsal, we found pictures online that would help show who our character is.
(Pictures will be posted later)
We also wrote down words that described our character (how they act, who they talk to, what they love, what they hate, etc.), and put them into a program called "Wordle" and created little "name pages" for our characters.
(Also to be posted at a later date)

Rehearsals are going well, we are working hard to meet our memorization deadline and have started solid blocking of the scenes. We are all enjoying rehearsals and making friendships and memories that we will keep with us for the rest of our lives.

More updates from cast members will be posted as we continue rehearsing for this wonderful production.

About ready to cast--one last request

One last request.  
I am still waiting for casting commitment emails.

Again, if I have not heard from you I am going to have to assume that if you are not cast as a major part you would not accept a non speaking role.  

Please let me know soon.   :)   Everyone is waiting on you now....one girl and a handful of boys.

I need to see the girls again.

Call back folks:   I have yet to receive many of the emails about your cast commitments.  If I haven't heard from you I am assuming you are only interested in a main character.   

 I know you are all hoping this post will be the list.     Well I am half there.    But I do need to see the call back girls tomorrow after school in my room.    
Aaliyah Jenks
Becka Frost
Callie Wilde
Catie Mondon
Emily McCullam
Katie Merkley
Katrina Wood
Kelsee Ivie
Nicole Kearl
Rebecca Jeppsen
Sydney Smith  

You will each perform both monologues.   It shouldn't take more than an hour.   Please wait in the classroom and we will bring you in one at a time.  Please don't panic and attempt to memorize them.  Tips---look up unfamiliar words, check breaths, color code, look for meaning and interpretation.   I am looking for variety and flexibility.   I need to see two different characters.   


Mono 1
Oft have I heard of you, my Lord Biron,
Before I saw you; and the world's large tongue
Proclaims you for a man replete with mocks,
Full of comparisons and wounding flouts,
Which you on all estates will execute
That lie within the mercy of your wit.
To weed this wormwood from your fruitful brain,
And therewithal to win me, if you please,
Without the which I am not to be won,
You shall this twelvemonth term from day to day
Visit the speechless sick and still converse
With groaning wretches; and your task shall be,
With all the fierce endeavor of your wit
To enforce the pained impotent to smile. 


Monologue 2
A time, methinks, too short To make a world-without-end bargain in.
No, no, my lord, your grace is perjured much,
Full of dear guiltiness; and therefore this:
If for my love, as there is no such cause,
You will do aught, this shall you do for me:
Your oath I will not trust; but go with speed
To some forlorn and naked hermitage,
Remote from all the pleasures of the world;
There stay until the twelve celestial signs
Have brought about the annual reckoning.
If this austere insociable life
Change not your offer made in heat of blood;
If frosts and fasts, hard lodging and thin weeds
Nip not the gaudy blossoms of your love,
But that it bear this trial and last love;
Then, at the expiration of the year,
Come challenge me, challenge me by these deserts,
And, by this virgin palm now kissing thine
I will be thine; and till that instant shut
My woeful self up in a mourning house,
Raining the tears of lamentation
For the remembrance of my father's death.
If this thou do deny, let our hands part,
Neither entitled in the other's heart.

Still working on it

News....when will the list be posted?  I am wondering the same thing.  Generally after the last call backs I can put most of the casting pieces together.  This time is tough, so many great actors and moving one piece creates a ripple effect.  Who knew that having tons of talent would make casting so tough.     I am really trying to get a list posted today.
