Hello again wonderful people,
I have a few things to announce and update you on-
1. Costumes for the show are white t-shirt and blue jeans. If you have those, great! If you need a plain white t-shirt or plain blue jeans, talk to us and we'll help you out. We're going to start rehearsing in costume starting May 15th so start finding those items soon.
2. I am going to be providing shirts and tie-dye material for Saturday. This day is not mandatory, but it's gonna be so much fun to hang out and relax a little before we really get into crunch time.
3. The following people have not turned in a cast fee or has not talked to us about it. They were due yesterday.
-Raven (who has a crippling fear of bananas)
-Fiona
-Maxwell
-Daltry
-Jackson
-Aidan
If we don't get these by Saturday, they you won't be getting a show shirt. It's $25 or as much as you can give.
4. We open so soon! It's everyones responsibility to hype the show up, advertise, and get people to come see this project we've worked so hard on! As you may know, the money we make from the show always goes to an organization or charity, and this year we will be giving the money to Planned Parenthood. All 4 shows are pay as you will, and the show starts at 7:30. We'll have posters and other PR materials coming soon, but word of mouth usually brings in the most people.
That's all for now! Thanks for being great, we're very proud of you all!
Sofi Solares
PS - If you have the chance and the want, you should for sure go and support Scapin! We have been given the opportunity to see the preview for free on Thursday after our rehearsal. If you can make it, I will be there and you should be too!

Last thing for this blog post, our Tie-Dye hang out and maybe rehearse day is on May 5th at my house from 1-4:30! I’ll get the address for you all in person.
Excited to see you all tomorrow! Hopefully everyone is off book ;)

April Calendar
Yay we have it done!!!
Tomorrow 4/10 is a weird one because wilsingers will be at districts until 4:30, but the people called for rehearsal at choir might be able to drive back separately. If you’re not in choir and are called, keep an eye out for a remind text with info about what will be happening. For anymore questions let us know!
Without further ado, here’s the rest of this months rehearsals!
(PSA off book day is April 30th)

Back From Break
Hello all!
Hope everyone had a good break :)
I was on the East Coast all week and am actually sitting in the JFK airport as I write this now.
Now that we're back from the break, it's time to get back to work! Parker sent out today and Tuesday's schedule out over the remind so hopefully there was no problem there, but we have the rest of this weeks calendar RIGHT HERE
You'll notice there are some changes from what the remind said so please pay attention to that.
Also that we only have this week... you'll see why it's like that soon.
You will also see that Thursday and Friday are dark. Parker and I are going to the State Thespian Conference in Salem to talk about nonother that Shut Up! Over those days we will also be looking at the new submitted scripts and casting those so that the next week we can start rehearsing those!
I think that's all the info I have right now, but if there are any questions please reach out and ask! Parker will be at rehearsal tonight and I will be on a plane but will answer anything as soon as I can.
Thank you so much for your cooperation, it has been kind of a wild past couple of weeks but we're gonna figure this out together!
I'm so excited to see all your bright smiling faces soon!

Calendar Edit and Other Info
Hello everyone!
I have just made the edits for next weeks rehearsal schedule. Please look closely at the changes and contact either Parker, Sophia or I if there are any problems.
CLICK HERE FOR UPDATED CALENDAR
We'll get April's schedule out over spring break and possibly cast more shows then too. (also we're not sure when we're getting creative writing scripts but when we do we'll do another batch of casting then too)
Also! Tell your friends about the show and ask them if they're interested in auditioning for the role of MC! We're holding auditions after spring break and more info about that will come at that time.
That's all for now, but if you have any questions feel free to text me or talk to me in person about anything at all!
Thank you :)

First Rehearsal 2018!!!!!!
Howdy, everybody!
I'm so excited to get our little group together for the first time tomorrow! Before meeting tomorrow (at 3:30 in the drama room) we figured you needed to know a bit of information.
First of all; Tomorrows (3/6) rehearsal is gonna be another co-lab! It'll be one group of all of you to see how you all work together as a group! It's gonna be great!
The rest of the week is going to consist of table reads and hanging out and chatting and lots of fun! This week is super low key and it won't be until the week of 3/12 that we get shows cast and get into the real rehearsing. Low key doesn't mean unimportant or optional, so if you have conflicts please let someone (Sofi, Parker, or Sophia) know at least 24 hrs before the conflict.
As a summary, here is what this week is going to look like:
Tuesday, March 6th
3:30 - 6) Co-labs for the whole group!
Wednesday, March 7th
3:30-5:45) Table reads and brainstorming
Thursday, March 8th
3:30-5:45) Table reads and brainstorming
Friday, March 9th
DARK DAY! No rehearsal today :)
At rehearsal tomorrow we're gonna be doing some chatting and information spewing so be prepared. We're gonna do our best to keep it short and sweet, but know that's coming.
If you wanna help us with that, please bring a sheet of paper with any conflicts you know you have written legibly on there, and hand it into Sofi at the top of rehearsal. I know you put them on your audition paperwork, but it would really help to have those in another place. Plus this is a chance to update anything that was not put on your sheet.
Thanks, and can't wait to see you all again tomorrow!

Thank you so much to all the auditioners, we loved seeing each and every one of you and encourage you to keep acting and pursuing theatre. That being said; Scapin auditions are next week! If you're still wanting to act this spring there is another chance with the awesome mainstage comedy show! More info on that show is on the Scapin blog (http://wilsondramascapin.blogspot.com/)
Again, thank you so so so much! We're so proud and are so ready to get started :)

Hello everybody! Thank you so much to everyone who auditioned, we loved seeing everyone come out and give it all they had!

If your name is on this list, CONGRATS! If not, know that we still love and appreciate you so much and encourage you to keep pursuing acting! (Ps... There's this super cool show called Scapin coming up that looks AMAZING. Sign up! Audition! Bring just as much enthusiasm and ka-pow to that and more!)
We are really proud of everyone and can't wait to see what's gonna happen next!
