Dear Sound of Music Cast & Families,

Please read the whole email, we know it's REALLY long, but there is a lot of important information that you need to know including, mandatory meeting on July 22, signing up for your volunteer commitment, tech meals, costume information, DVDs, scheduling for tech week, requested donations, and what to bring with you each day to tech week.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

First, we have a MANDATORY meeting at 4pm on Monday July 22 for the entire cast and at least one parent (or responsible stand-in) of everyone under the age of 18.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
**************** Don't Forget to Sign Up Now**************
CAST Volunteer Commitments:  Remember EVERY SINGLE cast member/family is required to participate in "Strike" on Sunday, June 30. (for 2 hours after the show ends) That means you need to tell all your family and friends that you will join them for a celebration meal at around 7:00 on Sunday, but not before.

In addition, EVERY SINGLE cast member member must choose to participate in EITHER:
All of Load in on Sun July 21 (10a - 2p ) @Warner Grand 28

OR

All of load out (2-4 hours after strike, including coming back to the shop to unload the truck on Sunday July 28 @ Warner Grand and ENCORE.)

This is NOT negotiable.

Outside of the above, each FAMILY is required provide someone to do at least 2 "jobs" during Tech/Show. Families with children under age 12 MUST do at least ONE of those jobs supervising in the dressing rooms.

Please sign up for Load in, Load Out, and Tech Week Volunteering here.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Costume Details
Please see attached for what you need to provide for yourself or your child.

****Undergarments that can be worn throughout ( more details attached) are very important as there are many quick changes particularly for the Von Trapp children and they will be changing with little privacy.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Please Reply Yes or No asap!!
Tech Meals (Optional) available on Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed, Thu, and Sat of Tech Week for $54 per person.

Tech meals were created to provide the cast with a decent meal during the long rehearsal evenings. Volunteers as well as cast can sign up for meals.
Typical meals are anywhere from pizza, veggies/fruit, and water to a Rascals/Maui Chicken kind of night with rice, meat, veggies/fruit, and other sides, to a mexican night with tacos/burritos beans and rice salad and other small sides.
Please note that even if you are purchasing a tech meal still pack snacks and lots of extra water --it is a very long night.
Meals are typically served between 6 and 7:30p.

If you would like to sign up for Tech Meals, please click here and send us an email saying you want Tech Meals. We will charge your card on file the $54 per person.

If you are not buying tech meals please make sure you/ your child has food to eat by approx 5:30pm each night of tech week.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

DVDs
We will be having a professional videographer document the show, and through a future email/link you will be able to purchase a copy of the show!

Hi All,

After working with our costumes department, the fitting schedule attached below reflects the updated needs of our costumers. Some have already been seen for some fittings and thus the appointments will likely be shorter than the first fitting.

We will also have our costumers at ANNIE rehearsal this coming Saturday. If you are on these lists for July 2nd and you are planning to be here on Saturday June 22nd please let us know and we can adjust accordingly to get fittings done as early as possible.

We are doing our best to keep you around your rehearsal schedule. the fittings will be in 20-minute increments and if you are scheduled for a time during your rehearsal period, please make sure to check in with either the Director, Assistant Director, Stage Manager, or Rehearsal attendant before you go into your fitting with Tamara.

Once you have checked your time and you know that will work for you, please respond "confirmed" to this email. If you are scheduled for a time that you are not available for because you will not be at that rehearsal, please let us know and we will let you know what other days and times are available to you.

Dear Sound of Music Cast & Families:

Please note some schedule changes and additions below! We have given you the intended schedule for the next 5 weeks, but please be aware that things may change as we re-assess the needs of the show as we progress.

Thank you so much to all who helped with our very successful Spaghetti Dinner, either by attending, helping set up / tear down, serving food, bringing desserts or all of the above! It was so much fun, and once again we were completely SOLD OUT! You all did an amazing job and created a lot of buzz about ENCORE in general and our upcoming shows and programs in particular!

Volunteering requirements:

We will ask volunteers to help serve the food so you won't be alone. Please let us know if you are willing to help. It would be great if 2 people could split this job.

Headshot Photographer You do not need to be a pro, but you do have to have some basic editing skills. We just need someone with a decent camera to coordinate taking clear, closeup photos of each cast member during rehearsals, then editing them to ensure they are all the same size/shape and color corrected. We print these photos to post on the wall along with bios in the theatre so people will know who is who, and these make a great keepsake for the cast members. Let us know if you are able to take on this job.

Upcoming Performance Opportunities!
Thank you to those who have already completed the survey to let us know whether you are able to participate in the performances! If you have not done so, PLEASE let us know as soon as possible.

Dear Sound of Music cast and families,

The performance schedule is here!! We know you are all excited and anxious to start booking your tickets!

Please remember, EVERYONE performs in every show. If you do not see your name, do not panic, you will be playing the same part in every show.

JR cast
We will have many more details for you soon including performance time, confirmed schedule, and how to use your membership tickets for the Jr Performance.

It is time to start booking your tickets!

Please read the entire ticketing document (attached) that details the process, particularly if this is your first first time doing tickets for a mainstage show. If you are still confused after you have read the document and taken a look at the system (accessible here), please send us an email to set up a time to work through the process so we can help you.

Please be aware when you look at the ticketing site that we are HOLDING most of the best seats in the house for YOU, the cast! Consequently if you log in to purchase tickets now it will look as if everything is sold out, and what is available is not the best seats. Now that the performance schedule is released, we will continue to hold them until Friday, 5/24 at 5:00p in order to give you time to contact friends and family to let them know your shows. At that time all seats will be released and you (as well as the public) will have access to begin booking them.

The mandatory minimum tickets charge has been placed on your account now and can be paid anytime. If you wish to upgrade, let us know and we will put that charge on your account as well. Once the charge is paid and you have notified us that it is paid, we will issue your membership and send you a confirmation. Please note you cannot start redeeming your tickets until you have been issued a membership and received a confirmation email.

If not paid before June 21 the card on file will be charged and your Level C membership will be issued at that time

If you want to be ready to process as soon as the better seats are released, please make sure to process your payment immediately and let us know you have done so -- or send your email requesting an upgraded membership now so we have enough time to get everything to you to begin processing immediately when everything opens up on Friday morning.

Some clarification:
Paying for your membership does not force you to immediately pick dates, it just gives you the ability to assign tickets when you are ready and have heard from your patrons.

We understand that the first time you process tickets it can be confusing and we want to help, but there are a lot of you and only a couple of us, so it may take a day or two before we can return your email, so please be patient.

We are SO excited for your friends and family to see this amazing show. We are proud of all the hard work you have put in and we know your friends are going to be blown away!

Dear Sound of Music Cast and Families,

Happy Monday Everyone!

2. Everything in lost and found will go to goodwill on Monday 5/27, if you will not be here on Tuesday or Thursday to check it please contact us to arrange a time during the week to check for any lost items. __________________________
__________________________
Ticket Fees Due - June 21
Please read the attached document regarding the ticketing process for The Sound of Music.

We are holding many seats for you until the performance schedule is released, you are welcome to start getting familiar with the computer system now, but be aware it will look like all of the seats are sold.

When the performance schedule is released, we will give everyone 48 hours to hear from their patrons and get an idea of when they want to attend the show, following which the seats will be opened for purchase. Please ensure your membership is paid for to allow to to process tickets when the seats open.

Please read through the information carefully so you know what your ticketing needs are and how to use the system, we will be helping everyone as fast as we can but there is only a few of us.

ENCORE is so thankful to have had our own home and rehearsal space for the past 4 years. Before, rehearsal locations would constantly change, and we never knew when something would be scheduled over our rehearsal so we had to move. Since having our own space, everything is so much better! We are able to offer smaller productions, or have impromptu rehearsals to polish that last dance routine before tech week, and we have our offices right here where we an support the rehearsals.

However, due to our being located in this great, centrally-located area, our rent has gone up 40% (a $29,000 per year increase!) from 2 years ago, and we are now facing the possibility of losing that home, leaving us unable to provide a consistent space for our families and productions.

WE NEED TIME! — We have no way to build a 40% increase into our current revenue stream, so we need to buy some time to find Corporate Sponsors, Private Donors, and Grants that can sustain us moving forward.

We created this great video to help explain the situation and to tell people how they can help. If you cannot help directly can you please share this video to help give us that time?

Dear Sound of Music Cast and Families,

Congratulations to the cast, and thank you for your patience. The cast list is attached. Casting this show has been such a challenge! There is SO MUCH talent in this group and we wanted to take the time to give everyone a chance to shine!

We have chosen to double and even triple cast some parts, and some parts we have not been able to cast yet at all. We know you are anxious to get to the cast list itself, but please do take the time to read the important information at the top of the Cast List regarding double casting, understudies and performance schedules.

*** Please note multiple people have checked this cast list for accuracy and to make sure everyone is listed, but sometimes mistakes happen even then! If you see a problem, we apologize, please just let us know and we will get it fixed as soon as possible.

Dear Sound of Music Cast and Families,

We know how patiently you have been waiting for the cast list, and we apologize as we know the waiting is very tough, but we are not ready to release the cast list quite yet. Because we have promoted this show so heavily in an effort to get the number up to a level that will allow us to do the show at all, we are still having people come to audition, and a number of people have had conflicts with the auditions. We need to see more of a few cast members and new people before we can release the cast list. We are also working on casting the junior cast at the same time and it is a time-consuming process we apologize for the delay.

However, we will have our first rehearsal Thursday March 21 @Encore as planned. We will call some people out for auditions as needed, but mainly we will begin working on the main group numbers so that we can get off to a good start.

We will have an exact schedule for Thursday March 21 early next week. The rehearsal will be located at Encore. ( address in the signature below)
