Wednesday Call Times and Announcements

Hello Everyone!

Thank you all so much again for a wonderful night of tech!  Here are a few announcements for tomorrow.

Makeup and hair should be styled starting Wednesday night.  We strongly suggest that everyone arrive with hair and makeup already finished.  As a reminder, you should use basic makeup of base, blush, eye liner (pencil is better. . . not too heavy), and shadow.

Everyone needs to bring with them a garment bag, shoes (beat up shoes for orphans and Hooverville, and nice shoes for servants), socks, and an undershirt.  Maids will also need tights, and we suggest all women bring in bobby pins for their hair in case they need them.  All of these items need to stay at Pfeiffer overnight until after Sunday's show - they should not be taken home for any reason.

All costume shoes need to be here by tomorrow.  They were due on Monday originally, so please bring them tomorrow if you still have not brought your shoes.

Orphans, please remember that your dressing rooms have been switched.  All girls ages 10-12 are in Pfeiffer 25, and all girls 6-9 are in Pfeiffer 36.  Please remember that during the show, you must ask a backstage mom if you need to leave your dressing room for any reason.

Call Times for Wednesday
Everyone is called at 6:30pm unless their name is listed below.  We will be doing notes at 6:30 in the lobby, not the house.  

The following people are called at 5:30pm.  As soon as your makeup and hair are finished, please report to Pfeiffer lobby to receive your microphone.

Tech Week Announcements

Hello Everyone!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!  Can you believe tech week is here already?  Below you will find announcements about tech week regarding microphone notes, makeup and hair notes, costumes, backstage food, and call times.  Please read every announcement that pertains to you, and feel free and let me know if you have any questions.  Tech week is a little crazy, so any questions I can answer through email before Monday would be great :)

When you arrive on Monday, please first sign in and look at the bulletin board for you dressing room assignment.  When we are ready for notes, we will gather everyone into the house.

Microphones
Please have all of your hair and makeup finished before putting on your microphone (if you wear one).  We do not want the microphones to pick up hairspray or makeup.

Makeup and Hair
For the main chorus, an email was previously sent out about makeup and hair.  (These notes are also posted on the website if you misplaced the email.)
For the orphan chorus, please apply the basic makeup that was listed in the previous email.  Hair should look generally unkempt, seemingly dirty, messy, knotted. . . the uglier and uncombed, the better.

Costumes
Please arrive Monday with your shoes, socks, and garment bag with a hanger.  The garment bag should be clearly labeled with your name.  You will receive your costume for the show by Wednesday at the latest, so please do not worry if you do not have a costume on Monday.

Backstage Food
The only food allowed backstage is pretzels and water.  It is extremely important that all pretzels are free of peanuts due to allergies in the cast.  We would appreciate if you wouldn't mind checking the ingredients list and avoiding peanuts.

Call Times
Everyone is called at 6pm unless their name is listed below.  We strongly encourage chorus members to arrive with their hair and makeup already finished.

The following people are called at 5:00pm.  As soon as your makeup and hair are finished, please report to Pfeiffer lobby to receive your microphone.

Corks, Ushers, and Makeup

Hello Everyone!

I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather!  I just have a couple of announcements for everyone.  

First, we are in need of corks for the performances.  If you wouldn't mind saving any corks you may have and turning them in to me, we will be burning the ends to use as makeup for the show.  

Second, we are in need of ushers for the performances.  We need 12 ushers for each performance (July 15th, 16th, 17th, 22nd, 23rd, 24th) and ushers must be there 30 minutes before the show starts.  Two ushers stand at each door and help to hand out programs.  After everyone has been seated, ushers also can fill in any empty seats and see the show for free.  If you are an interested parent or family member, please email me as soon as possible if there are certain days you would like to usher.  Ushers may work multiple performances, but you may not usher if you are in the cast of Annie.  Please email me your name, the dates you can work, and your phone number.

Third, I have attached some images of how Brian would like makeup done for the cast of Annie.  For hair and make up, this is a very "neat" period.  He would like basic makeup of base, blush, eye liner (pencil is better. . . not too heavy), and shadow.  For the orphans, we will be using burnt cork as well to make them look grimy and dirty.  Please look at the attached images and let us know if you have any questions.  (If the images do not transfer in email, please try the website.)




     

Thank you all so much, and I'll see you all soon!
