Poster Blitz- Saturday July 9

Hi everyone!

Ryan mentioned something about having a poster blitz last night, and thought I wasn't initially planning on one, I'm happy to accommodate, considering I'd like to advertise as MUCH as possible and I think blitzing is a great way to do that.

For those of you who have not participated in a poster blitz before, the basic idea is:

We meet at the theatre to distribute posters.

The cast/crew splits into two or three groups and we decide what area of the county they'll cover.

Each group leave in a car together to hang as many posters as possible in their assigned area. 

The idea is to make sure that all the posters are actually used, and not just stashed in cars and around the theatre or at people's houses.

Of course, each person involve with the show is welcome to a poster.

When your group is finished blitzing (there will be a specific time to stop), we all meet back at the theatre and I feed you lasagna.  I make a veggie and a meat version.  Anyone who'd like to add to the meal with bread or salad or beverages is welcome to do so. 

We'll start this particular blitz on Saturday, July 9, at 3:00 PM (immediately following that day's tech call, for those of you who participate in that way). 

This is NOT a requirement as far as your attendance, so if you've got something else scheduled, or you need the time to rest or polish stuff for the show, then by all means, do those things.  This is just a great time for bonding, eating, and getting the word out about the show.

Love you all,

Missy

Sunday July 10 is Second Sunday in Leonardtown

Specifics for the July 10th (Second Sunday) event are as follows:

We'll be there from 1 - 3 PM in costume and in character, so it should be a fun viewpoints/improvisation exercise. We'll do Beethoven Day up front so that anyone who can't stay for the entire time can head out after the first number. We'll be performing on the hour and half hour - so at 1:30, 2, 2:30, and 3.

The line up will be:

1. Beethoven Day
2. My New Philosophy
3. The Doctor is In
4. Little Known Facts

We'll need to do our best not to grass stain our costumes. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Rehearsal on Thursday July 7 will now be a choreography brush-up along with working any scenes that need to be worked. The Act 1 run (vocals off-book) will be on Monday July 11. We will also be working any scenes as needed at this rehearsal as well.

Welcome!

Welcome to the blog for Newtowne Players Production of "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown"

Here, you will find the calendar for the show.  The link is on the right side of the page, and it should automatically open the calendar in a new window.  Google Calendar is great! If you have your own already, you should have the option to simply add all of the events from the shows calendar to your own. If you don't want everything, you also have the option of adding events one at a time.  It also can sync with everything! Whether it be outlook, your ipad, your iphone, android, blackberry, palm, etc., it syncs!  For specific syncing questions, either consult me or google (although I think google has the upper hand on this).  The most common question I get comes when I begin adding rehearsals to the calender:
"How can I tell what we are doing at rehearsal, it just says 'rehearsal'?"
Well folks, if you need to find out any specific information about an event, for example its location, the agenda, whos required at rehearsal, etc. simply CLICK on that event and a little bubble will pop up revealing everything.

More information will be added to the blog as it comes in, so please check it often.  I know that you have a super busy job, and sometimes its hard and it would be really great if I could call just you to let you know about every detail/change/event/notice involving the show, just for you because you are so busy....
Unfortunately, we are all busy, including me. It would be great if I was independently wealthy and I could sit at home and call everyone for everything, but I can't. I'm sorry. I'll work on adding more hours to the day. In the meantime, please check the blog and read your rehearsal reports, that way everyone is on the same page.

If at anytime you have questions/comments/concerns please don't hesitate to email me or call me. My email is sara_meador@yahoo.com. I check it several times a day. My cell phone is 240-925-5080. I usually have my phone with me but feel free to leave me a voice mail if I don't answer right away. I will do my best to return your call ASAP.

Looking forward to working on the show!
