THANK YOU to all parents who have volunteered to help! The COSTUMES, SETS, PROPS, BIO BOARD PLAN...EVERYTHING is just incredible. Thank you for all you've done.
PRACTICES AND SHOWS: Please continue to encourage your cast member to run through everything at least once every day. We're down to perfecting those final details and touches that will put the show over the top. Keep encouraging them - they're doing a fabulous job! :)
Another note, please remind your cast member to be on their best behavior at rehearsals. I hate to even mention this...but we had a flair up of disruptive talking and a bit of craziness last weekend. Encourage your cast member to stay engaged in what's going on - even if we aren't rehearsing a scene they are in. If they aren't on stage, remind them to go to the music room and practice their songs/dances...or even read a book quietly. As we run the show, the kiddos will have a bit of downtime when they're not being used...challenge them to channel their energy in creative ways.

We will also be having SPIRIT WEEK for the cast beginning on FRIDAY-TUESDAY! Here is the list of themes for our Spirit Days:
PROMOTE THE SHOW/GET YOUR TICKETS: Please share information about the show with your friends and family...and share the good news about what we are doing on social media! I want to have a BIG audience for these kids. They've worked so hard, and they deserve the loud cheers and applause! You can direct friends and family to purchase tickets online here:

Jan will also be at rehearsal tomorrow night and next week, so you can purchase tickets directly from her at that time, too. In addition, she will be distributing the comp tickets you receive as part of your Production Fee. If you have any questions, please contact Jan at thebiz-academy@gmail.com.
HEADSHOTS: If you purchased headshots, you should have received an email from the photographer (exception Brooke Underwood - yours are still in progress) with a link and instructions to your photos. If you did not, please contact me ASAP!
VOLUNTEERS: There is a likely possibility that I am going to be looking for some Tech Week and show-night volunteers to help me with some back stage duties. I will have the sign up sheet hanging at The Biz tomorrow.
AD BLITZ: Be sure to turn in your ads to Jan for the ad blitz that ends on Saturday. Touch base with her if you have any questions!
