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
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.
