WEEKLY SCHEDULE
FOR
PLAY PRODUCTION
10/01 - 10/05
THE IMAGINARY INVALID
Monday, October 1, 2007:
I will not be here today through Wednesday. Phoenix is in charge and will do run-throughs of the show.
Thomas Roche will be here for about an hour from 2: 15 to about 3: 15.
I will try to be back in time for rehearsal after school.
Tuesday, October 2, 2007:
Same as before. Phoenix is in charge and will do run-throughs of the show.
I will try to be back in time for rehearsal after school.
Wednesday, October 3, 2007:
Same as before.
Thursday, October 4, 2007:
Minimum day:
We will rehearse from 1:30 until five pm.
You have an hour off for lunch so please be back ready to work on time at 1:30. Please anticipate hunger pains by packing a snack to eat during rehearsals, and have homework ready to work on when you’re not rehearsing.
Friday, October 5, 2007:
6th Period:
Rehearse the final scene, “The Graduation Scene”.
Beginning next week we will start staying until 5 on Friday.
Please note that during the hours of 2: 15 to 5:00 we are in rehearsals. Please take care of personal needs (eating, drinking, text messaging, hanging out with friends, etc) before or after rehearsals. Please do not whine and beg to be released early because: a) I can’t. I’m legally responsible for you until 5 pm (or 3:25 on Fridays) and I don’t want to be held responsible if you wander out into traffic at 3:24 and b) it’s REALLY ANNOYING to hear “Can you let me out early? There’s only five minutes left in the period and you’re not using me -” when I am concentrating on a scene.
Remember: You are young adult artists engaged in a creative enterprise. NO WHINING!

This includes: Argan, Toinette, Angelique, Cleante, Diafoirus, Thomas, and Beline. Beline, hang tight, because there is a chance we may not get to you. If by some ridiculous oversight on my part, I did not list your name and your character is in those scenes, do NOT think you get a free “get-out-of-jail” card. You STILL have to be here!
Alexis, my trusty stage manager, should be here as well.

Because it’s still relatively early in the semester, we will not stay late today; however, starting with the next shortened Tuesday (September 25th) we will stay until five.

7th Period:
Play time! Improvs and theatre games!
Begin working on Act 2; pages 38 through 48. The characters needed are Argan, Lousie, and Beralde. We will try to work as far as we can through the Argan-Beralde scenes.

CAST LIST
FOR
IMAGINARY INVALID
Thank you all for auditioning. Your talent and commitment made the decision very difficult. Mr. Itkin and I could have cast the show in three totally different ways but we feel that this is the best combination. Please bear in mind that this cast list is tentative; we reserve the right to make changes as we see fit depending on the best needs of the show and unforeseen situations.
Thank you again for your commitment and your talent!
ARGON Elizabeth Giron
TOINETTE Taryn Cohen
ANGELIQUE Chelsea Simmons
CLEANTE Edgar Gonzalez-Aguilar
LOUISE Diana Caldera
BELINE Vanessa Gray
DIAFOIRUS Zack Moore
THOMAS Grace MacMillan
PURGON Andoni (I don't have your last name)
BERALDE Phoenix Mason
BONNEFOI Emma Elam
FLEURANT Hayden Goldschein
Some of you might think, "Hey, but I didn't even audition for that role!" A director doesn't have to read an actor for a specific role to know that the actor would be right for it.
For those of you who were not cast, please do not be too upset. Everyone who read showed talent. We just couldn't cast everyone and not everyone - regardless of talent - will be right for every role. There are many of you who are greatly talented and would be cast in leads if we were doing Lorca or another heavy drama, but this time around it's a comedy and the comedic actors are given a shot. However, I would love to use those of you who were not cast in other roles and in other capacities.
I do not know for sure if I can get back from Burbank tomorrow and Tuesday in time for after school rehearsals; therefore, there won't be after school rehearsals on Monday and Tuesday. On Monday and Tuesday, during 6th period, we will watch The Marx Brother's DUCK SOUP, so you can get a sense of the manic energy Moliere requires. We will stay until five on Wednesday and Thursday and begin working on the first act. Elizabeth, Taryn, Chelsea, Vanessa, and Emma will stay this week.
Again, thank you for your work, your time and your talent.
