The last rehearsal of 2017...

Image result for belle crying

Alright actors, we'll see you this Tuesday for one last rehearsal before winter break.
When we return, things will move very fast! Work on memorization over break, especially of music. Don't just listen to the songs, but know when YOUR SPECIFIC PARTS start and stop.


Please bring EVERYTHING you need for rehearsal.

*Choose at least one adjective that your character would use to describe
himself or herself. 
(Yes, EVERYONE.)

Advice from actor Roger Allam

1. Learn your lines so well that you never have to worry about them.
2. Never go dead for a second on stage. Even if you are doing nothing, do it actively. Listen.
3. If something goes wrong – say someone drops something – don't ignore it. Try to deal with it in character.

Also,
Vocal Section Leaders
Please review the Flatware parts for Be Our Guest.
We'll be working on that as well.
