The play to be performed this semester is Doubt by John Patrick Shanley.
Dan is directing
It is a “serious” play
It is a parable (not a parade).
There are FOUR CHARACTERS.
There are 3 female parts and one male part.
We may need to do some fund raising for the play (to be determined)
Rehearsal days are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday every week. Rehearsal days may extend to include Mondays and Fridays when it is close to the actual performance of the play.
EVERYONE should audition whether or not they actually wish to be in the play. People wishing to audition “just for fun” should say so before they audition.
We need more people to work behind the scenes for the play:
Set builders
Set painters
Hair and make-up (during dress rehearsal week and show nights)
Set movers (during dress rehearsal week and show nights)
More to be announced as needed
Anyone interested in making fliers for Doubt should give Dan a completed flier in the next few days.
The Spring ’08 musical is Godspell by John-Michael Tebelak.
Dallas Jeffers-Pollei is directing
Godspell is about the teachings of Paul (from the Bible)
The auditions will take place on ONE DAY ONLY (date to be announced)
Once again EVERYONE is encouraged to audition.
Bring your own music to the audition (one 16-bar song)
There will be 10-12 people in the show depending on auditions
Since “Acting Out” is a fairly new organization we need to decide what we want to do:
There can be another play
Improv practice
Monologues
If there is enough interest in an activity on the blog we will talk about it next meeting.
It IS NOT Leslie’s job to come up with events, it is everyone’s job. If you have an idea for an activity put it on the blog (whether you would like to participate or think others might like to)
Anything Theatre or Performing Arts related can be put on the blog. Including but not limited to:
Stage acting
Poetry reading
Monologues
Improv.
If you would like to change the name of the club from “Acting Out” to something else propose a name on the blog.
There will be meetings on the SECOND and FOURTH Thursdays of every month.
