CAST GUIDELINES      

 SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1Notes from KQ

1.         Please refresh your reading of the cast guidelines.  Some things are beginning to slip.  Especially timeliness in coming to rehearsal.  Overall, think we are doing well.

2.         Due to the above, I am having to be a little more strict with our policy of taking people out of numbers when they miss rehearsals.  Please, please check with me if you have to miss.  If you do not call/check in with KQ before you miss a rehearsal, you may be pulled from that number.  We just don‘t have the time to re-teach numbers.

3.         Again, rehearsals are open to QUIET visitors. 

      CAST GUIDELINES

Rehearsal

The Rehearsal Hotline is 303-607-7555 – Memorize it!

Clean up after yourselves in all areas.  This includes the rehearsal spaces, the restrooms, the dressing rooms, and any other places that you may have been.  With a cast this size, we cannot keep items you leave and forget.   They will be donated to a worthy cause after a week of being unclaimed.

Don’t ever give another actor a note about their acting, singing, and/or dancing.  This is the job of the Director, Choreographer, and during the run of the show, the Stage Manager.  If another actor has changed something or is doing something that you think is inappropriate, please inform the Director, Choreographer, or Stage Manager.

Please arrive and check in at least 10 minutes prior to the start of your scheduled rehearsal so we can start on time.  Please always bring a pencil and necessary music with you to rehearsal.

Due to performance dates, we have 1 LESS WEEK TO REHEARSE so PLEASE do not miss or arrive late!!!!!

If you have any problems or emergencies which might prevent you from attending all of a rehearsal, please call and leave a message on the rehearsal hotline for the stage manager.

The Rehearsal Hotline is 303-607-7555 – Memorize it

Rehearsals will occur except in the case of extreme circumstances.  The hotline is updated daily, so check often for updates.

Please be quiet in rehearsal.   The Director/Choreographer, etc, are trying to teach the scene and with a cast  this size, any talking or  whispering  will distract those around you and cause lost time as we need to explain the scene again.

Pay attention and always bring your music and needed materials.  Always be aware of what’s going on around you.  Be proactive.  Look for opportunities to help.

No food, or drink (except water), or cell phones allowed in rehearsals or backstage.   If you need to eat, there will time and a place provided.  If you are expecting an emergency call, give your phone to the Stage Manager and she will notify you if need be.

No open toe shoes or clogs.  Please dress appropriately for the rehearsal you are involved in.  There is to be no chewing of gum during rehearsals.

Please report any safety hazards to stage management immediately.

All rehearsals, except children’s, are open for quiet family and guests.

Theatre

Be responsible for your props.  Always check your props and costumes before the show. NEVER move anyone else’s props or costumes, even if you think they are out of place.  Check with the Stage Manager or Assistant, there may be a reason it is there. 

Don’t use other people’s make-up without asking first.  Always return it when you are done.

Hang your costume up immediately upon changing.

DO NOT bring valuables to rehearsals and especially not to performances .

Do not stand in the wings!!!!  - Unless you have been called by the Stage Manager for an upcoming entrance.   If you can see the audience, they can see you!!

Also, be quiet backstage, and especially in the wings!  Cloth is not sound proof.  If you are talking backstage, chances are the audience will hear it.

Absolutely NO GUESTS are allowed backstage or in the dressing rooms before, during, or after the show.  Arrange to meet your family and friends in the lobby after the show is over.

Absolutely no saving of seats in the house.

BOTH:  ALWAYS BE A LITTLE EARLY FOR REHEARSAL AND PERFORMANCE
