We have reached the point in the process where I remind you that the best publicity our show can have is YOU.  The truth is I've been doing Sundance productions for almost a decade now and this may very well be the best production we have had yet.  I think you all know me well enough by now that you know I don't blow smoke, so you can take that literally--I'm not one to offer false flattery, I think you know. :P Because this show is so good, thanks to this group, I would love if we had a sold out house every night.  It's selling well, but the theater size and number of shows scheduled mean we could easily accommodate 50,000 people.  Fifty.  THOUSAND.  I'll let that settle in for a moment.  So don't be afraid to have fun with it and share this great show!  Sundance puts a lot in to marketing the production, but there's something different about the personal investment we've all made in time and energy.  So here's the info you need.  And thank you so much.  :D

Help us get some deck crew!  A little additional income for not too much time, but we really need people committed ASAP.  Have them contact me.  Thanks!

Comp Tickets

Good news!  Each performer and each member of the production team will get 10 comp tickets to our "Friends and Family" Preview night on July 19.  No tickets necessary, you will simply email me the names of the 10 individuals to put down on a master entry list; and they'll give their name at the door.  More than 10 will be turned away, and the complimentary tickets are good for this one night only.  Seating will be general admission that night and first-come, first-served.  July 19.  Email me your names!  :D

Videos

I have been meaning to post these for a few days now, sorry for the delay.  I would greatly appreciate if everyone could go through their own show before Thursday and review what we've done so far.  Watch the videos in order of your own performance and this week will hopefully go much better than planned.  There will be mistakes, but we will do our best!  Also, I'm sorry that the quality on some of the videos came out grainy.  Others are fine, and I've never had that issue before.  It was super strange.  C'est la vie.  You can still see basic form and movements.  Thank you all!

Just a reminder

Please remember to bring your own pencil and water bottle to rehearsal every day.  I have supplies for emergencies, but I'm not an Office Max eh?  :D

Scripts

Pencil ONLY, no highlighters or pens.  Must be completely erased and returned at end of production or you'll be charged for damage.

Playbill Info Needed Friday @ 5 pm

katiesueporter@gmail.com

NEEDING REPLY (Stuff from You)
-Playbill:  Below are three different templates you may choose from for your bio.  Alternatively, you may fill in the "blank form" I've provided and I will choose one of the templates for you.  This is not to take away your individuality, but rather to present the most professional front possible, as this is the audience's first introduction to you and to the Sundance theatrical experience.  The producers and I reserve the right to edit for space if necessary.  This is due Friday 5/20 @ 5 pm.

BLANK FORM TEMPLATE (For PSM's choice):

CHOOSE YOUR OWN TEMPLATE:

You must follow this set of guidelines:

MLA Format

Title of play: Capitalized & Italics (no quotations)

Character: No font change (quotations)

Obviously the highlighting and carrots <> are to indicate sections that must be changed by you, and the previous roles' billing and personal facts are just examples of how to do it correctly.  (It's a very special person that gets cast as Horton, Kozette, and John Proctor!  :D)  You just need to fill in your personal details, with the MLA formatting listed above. :D

TEMPLATE 2:
As a <proud graduate of the BYU MDT program> and <father of 3 beautiful children: Bobby, Susy, and Jojo,> <Name> was prepared to take on the exciting challenge of performing in the Eccles Theater at Sundance for the <first/second/seventh> time.  You may have seen <Name> perform previously as <"Horton" in Suessical the Musical at the Egyptian Theater; "Kozette" in Les Miserables at Jackson Hole Playhouse; and "John Proctor" in Salt Lake Acting Company's production of The Crucible.>  <Name> sends <his/her> gratitude to <Person(s)> for <action>.

Parking Info Needed Friday @ 12 pm

katiesueporter@gmail.com

NEEDING REPLY (Stuff from You)

-Parking:  I send a list of car information for all of us to the UVU parking center, they input your individual car's info digitally, and that is your "pass."  (ie you don't need a pass, they'll just have your car entered in their database)  You can park in any student parking once I have your info and get it submitted.  This is due FRIDAY 5/20 @ 12 pm.  :D  Send in a separate email just to me please.

     I need:

     *Car Make:

General Information / FAQ

Hello!  I'm so excited we're finally here!  Thank you all for your commitment and patience, this will be a great group!  We realize this process of casting so early, etc. is a little unorthodox but it is purposeful and for the sake of many different reasons, so thank you!

I apologize for the wait on the calendar, we have had many factors to take into account and many people needing to contribute to what our ultimate schedule has ended up being.  There WILL be changes, as some parts of it are complex, detailed, and simply not perfect.  It is also typical for any production to have changes as some things will go quicker than anticipated and some will take longer.  There are certain things that we just can't foresee until we're all in the same room working it out!  But I'm very excited about this show and cast and I know we will work it out.  The approach we have taken with the schedule is strategic and specific in hopes to benefit everyone, both in terms of respecting your time but also doing the process in a way that makes sense and is easy to follow.  Stephanie will discuss this more at our first meeting as it is in direct respect to her concept for the production. 

Also, I won't be chasing you down when I need information or an answer on something.  I will give you deadlines and expect them to be met.  If I don't get the information needed within that deadline, I'll assume it's because you don't need/want that to happen.  I don't get playbill info, you might just not have a bio.  You don't show up to a costume fitting, your costume simply won't be as awesome/detailed/great as it could be.  Remember that the production team is here to make YOU look good, so help us help you.  I am a reasonable, generally kind (most days) person but I coordinate the work of over 100 people when all is said and done.  So I don't have time to babysit.  I love you all, just help me out.   I'm here to make our work easier, but I can't do that without your buy in.  *stepping off soap box.

UPCOMING SCHEDULE-WISE:

-Monday May 23rd @ 6:30 pm--First Cast Meeting

All the things will be answered.  Contracts, scripts, designer presentations, business.  And then we'll get to know each other!  Bring a treat or snack to share, we will pot luck, play some games, and become familiar before diving in to 10 weeks of REALLY hard work!  :D  No group script reading, read it at home...cuz you're professionals.  :D

-Monday to Friday 6:30-10:30 pm, Saturday 9 am-2 pm; you are called a lot as Stephanie's approach makes the ensemble very integral to the entire show.  Good rule of thumb: plan on every night and when you get one off, it will be a bonus.  I've done my best to be respectful of your time and schedule in a logical way.  Please trust it's the best it can be even when there are wonky things.  There was a reason for it.  :D

Stuff from Me:

-Blog:    http://sundancemusicman.blogspot.com/ 
A tool I use to keep everyone organized.  When in doubt, check the blog.  All information with be posted to the blog so that you have a central location for all info.  No scrolling through past emails and facebook posts when you need to remember something.  I will use facebook and email for reminders as well, but everything vital to all of us will be on the blog.

-Calendar:  It will change.  I will post weekly updates to the blog for the calendar as the changes come.  What is attached will give you a good guideline.  It also is complex-looking.  Don't freak out, I'll help you on Monday.  Some of the details are for the production team, not you.  Those items should be obvious; disregard.

-Cast List: We have had some changes, don't worry we'll all get acquainted very quickly.  This is a GREAT group!

-Character Breakdown: This is another complex-looking document.  Again, don't worry; I'll help.  Stephanie, Nate and I have all ready done a LOT of work for you as you will refer to this document for rehearsals, your individual show breakdown, transitions, and more.

-Locations: UVU campus until the first of July when we move up to Sundance.  We'll talk about Sundance when it's closer.  At UVU, we will have to switch rooms or occasionally we will work in more than one room at once. 

GT 627 and 631 are the rooms we auditioned in by the Noorda Theater in the Gunther Trades Building. All music rehearsals will be here.  You can park in lots M24 and M23 for these rooms.

PE 154 and 153h are dance rooms on the other end of campus in the Physical Education building and the MAJORITY of our rehearsals will be here in these rooms.  Below are links to maps of campus so you can find these rooms and parking lots.  You can park in L4 or L6 for these rooms.
