And here we go!!



Dear Friends,


Here is the gentle schedule for the week.  

Depending on the needs of the show, Thursday’s rehearsal is a TBD.  We always try to give the cast a moment to rest and regroup before opening.  It is our hope that we will not meet on Thursday.

The theater will be open for all cast members starting at 5:00 p.m.  Please do not bring them any earlier.  ALL cast members need to be at the theater by 5:30 p.m. We will begin the run of our show at 6:15 (6:30 p.m.) at the latest.  We would like to have all cast members ready to leave the theater by 9:15 p.m.

If a cast member is late and does not have sufficient time to get ready for rehearsal each night, then we are forced to move our ending time back.

Snacks please for your cast member.  Small items, nothing messy.  Water is a must.  The cast will need books, cards, games, something quiet to do back stage. 

ALL phones will be stored safely once our run begins.  If you need to reach your cast member, please call my cell.

There are too many cast members on their phones during rehearsals.  That causes distractions, but most importantly, it keeps the cast from supporting one another and interrupts the sense of community.

Continue to push ticket sales.  At this point, we cannot accommodate any more folks for the Friday night performance.  

The cast and crew have worked so very hard.  Spread the word with your friends and family and urge them to come and enjoy a wonderful theater experience.

Peace,

Lys



Items needed for each cast member:

         Hair:
1.   A brush and bobby pins (for all)
2.  Men-hair gel
3.  Mersisters:
Hair spray, “bling” for your hair, or colored ribbons that match your costume.  If you are able to have someone do your hair before the show-that is wonderful.
4.   All other ladies in the cast: hair ties or fun ribbons for your hair as well, and hair spray.

Make-up:
1.   Mersisters: glitter make-up is fine.  Some of you started using it yesterday and it looked great!  Fun “pop” colored eye shadow.  Light colored lipstick, mascara and eye liner. Blush should be a light color as well.
2.  All female cast members: eye shadow that is bright, eyeliner, mascara, and a light blush.
3.  Guys-not to worry-we might put blush on, just so the lights do not wash you out.

The thrill of live theater!!!

The adrenaline of a live performance is unlike anything in film or theater.

Dearest Flutterbye Family,

As we enter into our final week of rehearsals, I wanted to thank you for sharing your cast member with me.

Our journey has been filled with laughter, creativity, stressful moments, warm-temperatures, and tons of excitement.

Nothing would be more thrilling than to have the theater filled to the brim with friends, family members, and supporters of the Arts.

I strongly urge you to spread the word!

Whether it be the internet; sharing links to our ticket site:
or to the Art Center event calendar:

or through "Save the Date" postcards which are awaiting distribution.


If you have a moment and would like to pick up a stack of postcards from my home, please let me know, and I will leave them for you.  I also have some posters to share as well.

Come and support the cast of  The Little Mermaid and embrace the beauty of musical theater.
