Fall Play

Welcome to the Fall Play information site! 

Attached, please find the information packet for all actors:  HARVEY-Schedule.xls  This excel file contains the rehearsal schedule, make-up kit order form, t-shirt order form, and theatre etiquette

For a quick glance of the rehearsal schedule, I have copied and pasted it below!  Please note the crew abbreviations at the bottom of the page to determine when those crews need to report. 

ACTORS:
We have completed the blocking of the entire play - and are so excited to go back and fine-tune the scenes!  We're now on to our next stage - the "working rehearsal."  This is where we start to flesh out the characters, their personalities and quirks (and there are plenty in this play!)  The actors continue to impress and amaze us with their dedication and perspective!  All actors should be "off book" for Act I (all Act I lines must be memorized!)  It's imperative that all actors have their lines down.  It's very difficult to work on how to interpret a line when one doesn't remember the line.  It really slows down the rehearsal.  In every minute of spare time, lines should be studied!

CREW:
We just had our first full crew call!  It was a little hectic running from crew to crew, but we have AMAZING crew heads who already have a punch-list of tasks to do, so everyone was focused.  Unfortunately, all crews have to work in silence - which sometimes kills the fun atmosphere - but we have to respect the actors' challenge of working through their scenes. We will have some crew-only days in the theatre soon - so we really have to take advantage of those times to get work done quickly.

Our goal as directors is to help you create the BEST possible show with the LEAST amount of stress!
EVERY rehearsal will begin and end with a "company" meeting where we gauge how we're doing as a production
If you ever have a question/concern/comment - please bring it to your directors' attention immediately!
