Tuesday Night 11/29/11
Hi guys! Sorry I didn't post yesterday...
Tonight, I need the ghosts getting dressed and ready at 5. We will be reworking a few steps of the tombstone dance and also working with the sound cutes.
The rest of you, PLEASE be dressed and ready to begin at 6:15... I know it's early, but again, there will be a visitor there to take photographs and then we will run the show to be reviewed!
Let's pick up the energy and get the review YOU DESERVE! I'm so excited that this is coming together as well as it is... I am very honored to have been able to work with all of you! You have made this a phenomenal experience for me and I am truly grateful!

Thursday Night 11/17/11
Ahhh!! 8 Days of rehearsal left!!
We will be rehearsing Act 2 again tonight! Please see the list from yesterday's post regarding the people who need to be here early for make up, hair and costume for the PSA.
Everyone else, please be here WITH COSTUMES tonight at 6:30 (earlier if possible) so that we can run through a few scenes before the cameras arrive at 7. I want to maintain as much rehearsal time as possible despite the bump in the schedule!
Please look at your lines, cues, blocking, and know what your prop/costume situation is! If I haven't brought you the props/costumes you need for your scene, please feel free to bring something from home or look through the prop/costume room for something that might work! (BUT DO IT BEFORE REHEARSAL STARTS!!) The less micromanaging I have to do, the better! Bring a suggestion and use/wear it! I'll let you know if I don't like it! (...and hopefully, I'll let you know if I do!)
I know I don't take enough time to tell you all the good things you are doing, but in a tight rehearsal schedule like this, no news is good news!
THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE FOR ALL THE GOOD WORK YOU'LL DO TONIGHT!!
(...and please pardon all the typos! I'm busy here at school too!)

Monday Night 11/14/11 - READ ABOUT TOMORROW!!
Hello All Act 1 Folks! Long time, no rehearse! I hope all of you have been looking at your blocking (BECAUSE YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR LINES MEMORIZED BY NOW!!!)
Also, if you have any portions of a costume, start bringing those now!!
I have some important information about tomorrow, Tuesday, Nov. 15th. In addition to the head shots being taken at 5:30, we will also rehearse ACT 2 instead of Act 1.
I wanted to rotate the schedule a little more so the rehearsal order will look like this for this week...
Monday (tonight) - Act 1 run through
Tuesday (headshots @ 5:30) - Act 2 run through
Wednesday - Act 1 run through
Thusday (PSA filmed - check here for more info) - Act 2 run through
Friday - Act 1 & 2 run through
Saturday - Act 1 & 2 run through (11:00-2:00)
Starting next week, I will have you come in the Roger's Theatre entrance, so keep that in mind!
I'm excited about the way things are starting to shape up! See you all tonight!

Ticket Info for Friends and Family Night!!
Audience appreciation (applause) is of course the main benefit of performance, but there are two perks we want volunteers to know about.
1) You and a guest are invited to our board & staff Christmas party on Dec. 13th (yes, the Tuesday after the show closes) for a reception and 7:00 pm concert in the Braithwaite!
2) As a thank you to be shared with those who have "given you up" for so many rehearsals, we offer 6 invitational tickets to the last dress rehearsal on Thursday, Dec. 1st at 7:30 p.m.
Since family members are occasionally cast in a show, there's a 10 ticket family max. IF you have family who cannot attend Friends & Family Thursday, you may purchase tickets for them at the Flex rate of $10 each. It's up to you to collect from them or give as a gift, but the money should be given to boxoffice staff before the show begins. Please refrain from posting on Facebook or other social media - this is intended for use by you and your co-workers/friends/family/etc.
Thank you and BREAK A LEG! -DeAnna Hargrove
PSA and Headshot Info!!

Songs
There is quite a bit of music in this play for a non-musical! I don't know how many of you will be interested, but below are the songs that provided inspiration for me as I was thinking about this show.
The music will not be as 'rock' heavy as I had originally thought, but rather will be acoustic and more soulful. Either way, I'm excited!
Several of you will be involved in the singing of Barbara Allen and the link to the version I like best is also provided. If you want to bring a flash drive for this music, I will have my laptop with me and have downloaded the songs.
