Blue block rehearsal Friday

Don't forget!! This Friday is a rehearsal for blue block. Duchess, cook and frogfootman need to come. Other spectators and jury do not need to attend.

No Rehearsal on Thursday

In light of Thursday's potentially dangerous weather, rehearsal is cancelled. At this point rehearsal will go on as scheduled on Friday.

Time for Ads

Supporting the arts in Pitt County. Showing the cast and crew you appreciate their hard work. Promoting your business to an interested audience. All excellent reasons to have an advertisement in the playbill for Alice in Wonderland. See the attached form for details.

The Painting and Building Has Started

As we enter our third week of rehearsals, we have also started with the behind-the-scenes work. Join us Saturdays from 10am to 4pm and help us create Wonderland. We need painters, builders, prop makers, flower "growers", and the list goes on. If you've ever wanted to see how we make the magic happen onstage, come experience the fun of stage craft. You don't need to come every Saturday or stay for the whole time, but we would certainly appreciate the help! Wear comfortable clothes that can get dirty and stained and bring a lunch if you're going to stay all day. Hope to see you all there!!

Full Cast/Parent Meeting

The Full Cast/Parent Meeting will be Tuesday, September 18th--6:30 to 8pm. Please come prepared to pay production fees and meet with your committee chairs. Also, this a reminder to use to links from last weeks' email to sign up for monitoring and costume fittings. See everyone tomorrow!!

Alice in Wonderland Full Cast/Parent Meeting

The meeting scheduled for Monday, September 17th at 6:30 pm has been cancelled. We expect it to be rescheduled for Tuesday, September 18th instead. The rehearsal schedule will then proceed as on the previously-posted calendar. If we need to make up the missed rehearsal, we will do it later and there will be plenty of advance notice. Stay safe and dry as the hurricane passes.

The decisions have been made!!

We have a cast and it wasn't easy to choose. We had so many more talented young people audition than could fit on our stage.
If you weren't cast this time, please try again in January for our next show. Or consider drawing a picture for the artwork or working on tech this time if you are old enough.
If you were cast, your mother/father will be receiving an email with instructions on how to accept the role using a Doodle poll. That acceptance needs to be recorded by 9pm tomorrow (Tuesday) night. Thanks to everyone for their support of Smiles and Frowns Playhouse!

Audition Forms and Information Sheets

The paperwork and information sheets are ready!! Please continue reading for a few words of direction.
For actors, there are three forms to be printed, completed and brought to auditions, Audition Application Form, Emergency Contact Form and Parent Committe Form. Also bring a small photograph, a wallet-sized school photograph is fine, or a candid if you prefer. Tech students need to complete the Tech Application form and the Emergency Contact Form only. Included in the many documents are several that only need to be read for information. There is no need to bring them with you. Also, each family needs to complete only one copy of the Emergency Contact Form and the Parent Committee Form.
See you all next week!!
