Happy Thursday Spring Showers!!!!!

So this has been a CRAZY week, but SO much has been accomplished for the show that it has been well worth it! Just a few notes, reminders, and action items for this Saturday’s rehearsal!!! 


Please read this ENTIRE email….there is a lot of important stuff in here! J 

  1. Ad Sales – I am looking forward to seeing how many ads come in this weekend!! I challenge each of you to turn in at least 1 Ad (even if it is just a Business Card size!) Remember we CANNOT do the show if we do not hit our ad sales goal! Too much work has gone into the show for that to happen, but we need everyone’s help to reach that goal! For every ad you turn in this Saturday your name will go into a drawing for a fun prize….I will also announce last weeks winner at the Business Meeting!  Ad sales deadline is SATURDAY, FEB 13th!!!
  2. Receptions – Don’t forget to bring your donated wine for the Spring Show reception!! We found out this week that Coors is graciously donating the beer again this year, so that is cover but we need wine and lots of it!!  It doesn’t have to be expensive wine….I cleaned out my wine cabinet and came up with 6 bottles that I was willing to donate!

  3. Script – I know I sent out the “final” script earlier this week…I lied, the one attached to this script is the FINAL one! We have had a few cast changes this week and had to tweak the script because of it. Also if you will notice this script is set up with page breaks between each scene so the page numbers are different than before. This is the script that rehearsals will be run off of… PRINT IT OUT….BRING A COPY WITH YOUR LINES ALREADY HIGHLIGHTED TO REHEARSAL!!!!!

Hello Everyone! 

We had a great turn out last Saturday and I can’t wait to see everyone again for this week’s rehearsal!!!  Until then here is a little update and information for you.


1)       If you haven’t checked out the Spring Show website you need to! Make sure you bookmark it as this is your resource for all things Spring Show, especially on the Cast and Crew Info Page!  www.JWCSpringShow.Weebly.com

2)       Ad Sales: We are off to a good start but we still have a LONG way to go and that means we need everyone selling ads! For every ad (no matter the size) you turn in this Saturday, your name will go into a drawing for a prize! And you know you want to win…so the more ads you turn in the more chances you have! J 

3)       We will be starting vocal rehearsals this Saturday upstairs with our music director, Melanie Wilson.  If you are singing, please know you will not have vocal rehearsal every week so make sure to pay attention to the schedule each week. It will be posted under the Musical Notes page on the Spring Show website and I will also send it out in my weekly emails. 

4)       If you are singing a song that is also a dance you need to be prepared to start practicing with the dancers every Saturday starting Feb. 6th.  The dancers need to get used to the way you are performing the number. If you are ready to start practicing with the dancers sooner, talk to the choreographer in charge of your number and see if they have learned enough to start working with you. 

5)       Advanced Dancers – Ashley will be running the advanced dancer’s rehearsal for the first part of Circus from 8:30 till 9:00. The rest of the dance schedule is posted on the Spring Show website under  Choreographer Corner.

6)       Check out the Costume Closet page to see the photos, descriptions and where you can purchase the base dancer uniform that Ruth told you about during last weeks Business Meeting.
