April 15, 2017 REVISED

Dear Romeo & Juliet Cast and Families,

Please Note: There are a few new changes to this Newsletter & Performance Schedule

Tech Week is HERE!!!!  These rehearsal weeks have flown by, and we are almost ready to put on a show! Here are a few notes as we go into Tech.

**********************************************

There is a mandatory cast/parent meeting on Monday at 5:00pm.  It will only last about 30 minutes and we need the whole cast and at least one parent from every cast member under 18 to attend.

**********************************************

EVERY family is required to volunteer for a MINIMUM of 2 shifts during the run.  Adults in the cast are responsible to find someone to cover those shifts. We will need a LOT more help because of the small cast and the large number of performances, so we are asking everyone to volunteer 4 times if at all possible.  You may sign up for shifts here.

**********************************************

Tickets for your shows are now on sale!!!   Please remember that all cast members are required to purchase/sell a minimum of 20 tickets.  If not paid by Tuesday, we will automatically charge your card on file and issue your membership. We need everyone to start redeeming your tickets ASAP because we have less than 100 seats per show in our Blackbox, and shows WILL sell out.   Be SURE to use the link in your confirmation email to redeem your tickets, or all of the options might not show up for you.  You may used your tickets for ANY show, including the Field Trip and the public show at the Armstrong.

For those of you who missed the info, we've attached the ticketing document explaining how to purchase and redeem your tickets.  Please read it before calling/emailing with questions. But then feel free to call if anything is unclear!

**********************************************

The Performance schedule is attached. There are a few TBD spots that will be determined on Monday.  We will only add the Sunday 4/30 @ 7:30 performance if  the other shows really fill up, so promote like CRAZY now that you have the schedule.  Our show is amazing and everyone deserves to see the fruits of your hard work.

**********************************************

You MUST bring your correct shoes & undergarments  beginning on Monday.

REMINDER: There will be NO tech meals this week!  Please be sure to bring enough to eat, and plenty of water!!!

If we do not get those commitments by Thursday, March 30, we will not be able to film the show.
Please email liza@encoresouthbay.org and let us know if you plan to  order your DVD for $35 each! If you order a DVD, we will place the charge on your family account and charge your card on file.
