The regal Beauxhommes make their grand entrance as Director/Choreographer George Croom looks on.
The cast sings out with gusto under the music direction of Brian Frazier.
Director/Choreographer George Croom works with the cast on some the production's challenging "Croom-ography."
If the stage managers ain't happy - ain't NOBODY happy! Stage Managers Erica Blumrosen and Sara Zimmerman and Assistant Stage Manager Julia Zimmerman rejoice at the end of another highly productive rehearsal.
COMMITMENT DATES:
Rehearsals: June 21 to July 29, 2010 (Mondays through Thursdays, 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm. Possible weekend afternoons.) Weekend rehearsals will be scheduled if and as needed as we draw closer to our tech weekend. Curtain Call does not hold rehearsal on the July 4th weekend.
Curtain Call has a strict cut-off date for conflicts: July 19, 2010. All rehearsals on and following July 19, 2010 are mandatory (NO EXCEPTIONS). We also ask that all participants come to rehearsal or work call in the appropriate footwear. NO flip-flops, sandals or open-toed shoes, or bare/stocking feet! We also recommend that participants bring water bottles to keep hydrated.
Seitz Probe: July 31, 2010 - time TBA: this is a rehearsal with the music director, cast and musicians that allows evryone to be on the same page with what is happening. It is the only chance the cast will have to rehearse with the musicians before tech and dress rehearsal. FULL CAST ATTENDENCE IS MANDATORY.
Tech Sunday: August 1, 2010: all day (time TBA). Tech is typically an all day event where the crew is called in the morning to begin rehearsing the technical elements (lights, set changes, etc.). The cast then joins us later in the afternoon and we begin marrying the technical elements with the actors, going cue to cue, breaking for dinner and then attempting to run the show. Dinner is provided by Curtain Call. This day will end no later than 11pm. FULL CAST ATTENDENCE IS MANDATORY.
Dress Rehearsals: August 2, 3 and 4, 2010 (6:30 pm to 11 pm). FULL CAST ATTENDENCE IS MANDATORY.
Performances: August 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13 and 14, 2010 at 7:30 pm and August 8 and 14, 2010 at 2:00 pm. CAST MUST ATTEND ALL PERFORMANCES - NO EXCEPTIONS.
Tear Down and Strike: August 15, 2010 (11am until completed). All cast and crew are expected to attend the strike and tear down of the show. FULL CAST ATTENDENCE IS MANDATORY.
FOR THOSE OF YOU INTERESTED IN CREW, we have positions available in set construction and painting, lighting, sound, costumes, props and running crew (which means the crew available for tech, dress rehearsals and all performances). Please specify what areas you are interested in so we know how best to schedule your time with our crew calls. Crews calls will primarily be scheduled on Saturdays and you will be scheduled by the producer and tech director as needed. All running crew must be available for final run thrus July 26 to 29, Tech July 31 and August 1, Dress Rehearsals August 2, 3 and 4, all performances August 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13 and 14 and Strike August 15!
