March 21st Schedule
for AIDA


Good afternoon, artists, and techie-artists! Hope you had a restful weekend, sleeping, eating, going to dance classes, vocalizing, attending acting classes, performing in equity-waiver theatre productions, and of course, writing those AP essays. Now back to work!

Monday, March 21st:

Ms. Goldschein will start us off with warm-ups. She will then begin working with the actors and dancers on the first dance of the show. Please be sure to come to class with your dance clothes. Mr. Sacks will allow you to keep your dance clothes in his room until 6th period.

Mr. Sacks will work with the singers.

And Ms. Bridges will work with the costume crew, and will start organizing other crews, such as the prop crew, the ad sales crew, the fund raising crew, and the programs crew.

Everyone needs to write her/his bio today and turn it into the newly formed program crew by Tuesday, March 22nd.

For those of you to whom I have spoken and HAVE GIVEN PERMISSION TO LEAVE AT 3:25 - and you know who you are because I have looked you square in the eye and said you may leave at 3:25 - then you may leave at 3:25. Everyone else must stay until 5 pm.

Shortened day. Same as above. Come to class prepared to warm up with Ms. Goldschein and then either continue working on dance or working with Mr. Sacks on music. We will work in chronological order through the script.

Week of March 14th

Good afternoon artists!

This is a busy week for us all and certainly nerve racking and anxiety provoking for everyone - including the directors!

Monday, March 14th:

I am going to pass out the sides and discuss them with you. We will start auditioning the actors during 6th period.
During 7th period, we will do warm-ups and begin the singing auditions.

Break a leg, everyone!

Tuesday, March 15th:

See above. Repeat.

Please be sure to wear comfortable clothes you can move in - no short skirts, no high heels, nothing light colored that you can't crawl around in or sweat in. We will be doing some movement today and maybe some dancing.

Please be aware that we are staying until five Monday through Friday. In the beginning of the semester, I will try to schedule some of the solos and small scenes on Friday so that most of you will be able to go home on the bus, BUT as we get closer to show time that will happen less and less so just expect to stay until five - or later. Start making alternative transportation plans now with your parents.


Wednesday, March 16th:

See above. Repeat as needed.


Thursday, March 17th:

I hope that auditions will be over by today and the cast list posted. If this happens then we will have a read through. If it doesn't, then we will have callbacks today.


Friday, March 18th:

OR the auditions will be over by today and the cast list posted. If this happens then we will have a read through. ( I'm pretty sure the auditions will be over and the cast list posted, so just be prepared to stay until five today.)
