This week's notes

  • Understudies should attend as many rehearsals of their character as possible. They should be ready to make director's notes in their scripts.
  • Scripts are going home with the students today. Some students will get their practice CDs today as well. The rest of the practice CDs will be distributed at the beginning of next week.
  • The 1st couple of weeks will be dedicated to the music. The music in Into the Woods is quite difficult and must be mastered before we can go on to the staging of the play.
  • Practice, practice, practice.
  • Chorus will not have a rehearsal until next week.

Great web site - thank you!

I'd like to suggest adding this link to the Kennedy Center, which has some great teaching resources related to the musical, esp. if teachers want to incorporate the story and its themes into lesson planning. I used the "Cue Sheet" pub just to help me understand the DVD of the production that we watched at home. - Jeff Hamerlinck

Hi! Can you please fix my last name on the parents volunteer list (posters) to Besler - it is not Belser. Also, for whoever is doing the programs, can they please, please double check the spelling for Zachary Besler and Danielle Besler when they are listed in the program? For some reason, our names are always misspelled and it is frustrating.
Thanks!

I've updated your name on the parent list and will let Carol Bress know to double check all names for the program. I've definitely had my name mispelled more than once, so I know how you feel!

Hi - I am doing the posters, and would love a copy of the CD rom with the logos. Also, what size should the posters be?
Thanks,
Samantha Besler

I will make several copies of this stuff and will have them in my office for pick up. Posters are completely up to you. Make sure they include time, date, and where they can buy tickets (UW Lab School Office) or at the door based on availability. The evening performances will start at 6:30pm each evening.

Thanks!
