Contract for PETER and the STAR CATCHER

Contract for PETER and the STARCATCHER  

The 2016 fall production is PETER and the Star Catcher by Rick Elice, based on the book PETER and the STARCATCHER  by Dave Berry. The Broadway production was a huge hit that garnered many Tony Awards. The play is an ensemble piece in which every actor will play multiple parts - boats, walls, stairs, crocodiles, etc. -  they will sing,  dance, create sound effects, do choral work,  and stay on stage for the duration of the show - it’s going to be a blast! We are not looking for trained dancers or singers but rather people who can dance and sing to the drumming of life. We need people who are filled with the joy and exuberance of life and love, and can focus that positive (and disciplined) energy on stage.  You will be an integral part of the staging process, and will help create the characters and the stage movements through improvisation.  Courage, creativity and imagination are traits that will be in high demand during the rehearsal/creative process of PETER and the STARCATCHER.

Auditions will be held during sixth period and after school on Wednesday, September 14th, Thursday, September 15th,  and Friday, September 16th.  Callbacks will be Monday, September 19th, the cast list will be posted on Tuesday, September 20th, and the first rehearsal will be Wednesday, September 21st. Rehearsals will  run from 6th period through 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, except for shortened Tuesdays. You do not have to be in 6th period to be in the show, but we would prefer that you are.

Starting around the middle of October, selected actors will stay until 6 p.m. As we get closer to the opening, which will be Thursday, December 1st,  everyone will begin staying late - from 7 p.m., to 8 p.m. and finally, the last week before we open, until 9:00 p.m. There will be Saturday rehearsals from 9 to 2, starting in November, and two or three days of rehearsal during the Thanksgiving break. 

The fall play has shows at seven p.m. on Thursday, December 1st, seven p.m. on Friday, December 2nd, seven p.m. on Saturday, December 3rd,  and a matinee at 2 p.m. on Sunday, December 4th.   You will be expected to hang up your costumes and put your props away before leaving after each performance.

You must be courteous and professional at all times. This means that you must be punctual to every rehearsal, and that you must stay until you are dismissed, and at the beginning of each rehearsal you must participate in the theatre exercises and the warm-ups for they are integral to the actor’s craft and in the development of this production. It also means that you arrive at rehearsal ready to work with your script and a pencil, with your lines and blocking memorized. 

You are  expected to be at your scheduled rehearsal on time. If you must be absent, please be courteous and e-mail me, preferably with  twenty-four hours notice,  that you will be absent.  My email is jkatbridge@aol.com. The rehearsal schedule will be posted on line at hollywoodhighschool.net, teachers, blogs, jbridges, “Play Production”. The rehearsal schedule will be posted on line Sunday, and on the door of 503. 

Cell phones  are strictly prohibited on stage! And at all times it is understood that you must behave in a mature, courteous manner to everyone; when the director and actors are working, the other actors are to be quiet, on task, focused and positive.  No loud talking, no off-topic conversations, and no loud, boisterous playing around when the director is not working with you.   Keep outside baggage outside - there is no space in theatre for personal drama.

Finally, it is imperative that you keep at least a 2.0 average in your classes. Failure to do so may result in your immediate dismissal from the show. Now, let’s get to work, have fun and create some magic!

I have read this and agree to comply with the conditions of working on the show.
