January 13, 2014 Dear Cast & Parents, Congratulations on making Alice in Wonderland. The talent was impressive and the competition for all parts was fierce. We had a very hard time casting this show, and we feel confident in the decisions that we made. We ALL need to work together to make this all possible and to make this show a magical success. Each cast member was put in this show for your talent, responsibility, and dedication to the stage. Everyone is expected to follow the rules below. Please read this and discuss the commitment together. Sign the bottom and return, Thursday, January 16, 2014. Important web addresses you will need: To Access rehearsal schedules and forms (we’re trying to go green): http://www.lz95.net/mss/faculty/kwarren/spring_play.html To email Ms. Warren directly: Kimberly.warren@lz95.org Expectations: BEHAVIOR: First and foremost, you are EXPECTED to behave. Any inappropriate behavior towards any student or staff is an immediate dismissal from the musical. REHEARSALS: You must be at every rehearsal you are called for. Follow the schedule carefully. If you miss 3 rehearsals with no previous notice, you will be asked to leave the cast. If there is an emergency, I just ask that I am made aware of your absence so I can arrange for it in rehearsal. Please email me at Kimberly.warren@lz95.org . Unless you are absent from school that day, you need to be at rehearsal. To be at rehearsal, you must be at school for at least a half a day. Everyone is expected to check the rehearsal schedule on the Drama Board (in the music/drama hallway) or online at my website. A schedule will always be posted on the drama call board and on my website http://www.lz95.net/mss/faculty/kwarren/spring_play.html RESPONSIBILITY: Cast members are expected to be in their appropriate rehearsal space AT 2:30 ready to work. Cast members are expected to know all lines and blocking for the show. You MUST keep up on your homework and grades. This play is NOT an excuse to get out of anything. When you are not on stage, you are encouraged to do your school work. If you miss a rehearsal due to a detention, that is NOT an excused absence from rehearsal. SCHEDULE: You must be on time, and must be picked up promptly. Please be picked up at the time posted on the rehearsal schedule. Please be aware that staff has to stay until the last child is picked up. Repeated failure to pick up on time (2 or more times) will result in dismissal from the show. It is mandatory that you are at all the tech rehearsals, and all the shows. Please note there is a chance the students will be finished before the end time listed here. Below are the dates that are mandatory: Saturday, March 1 Monday, March 3 Tuesday, March 4 Thursday, March 6 Tech 9:00-2:00 2:30-5:00 2:30-5:00 2:30-5:00 SHOWS Friday, March 7 5:00 call (7:00 show) Saturday, March 8 12:00 call (2:00 show) ACTORS AND CREW WILL STAY AFTER THE SATURDAY SHOW AND STRIKE THE SET.
