Brush-Up Rehearsal Wed September 30

Good day Cast and Crew,

It will be good to see everyone tonight after a couple of days apart.

Tonight's rehearsal is a Brush-Up rehearsal at 7pm
We will run the show top to bottom, and then work any problem areas afterwards. No costumes or make-up tonight. We will run full lighting and set changes.

I want to emphasize the importance of having a fun, yet serious rehearsal tonight. We have to give our full attention to the show to reinvigorate, re-energize, and get pumped for 3 more performances.

Reminders:
- Cast Photo forms are backstage. Order your cast photos before end of show on Saturday.

- Cast Party Saturday Night after the show in the Little Theatre. Bring a snack or beverage to share. We will have KARAOKE!!!

- Turn in your scripts/scores Thur-Sat, 6:30-7:00pm each night and get your $20.00 deposit back. You can turn them into Victoria.

- Set Strike will be Monday Oct 5 at 6pm - please please please come and help us take the set completely down and over to the warehouse. We will need many hands and screwguns; as well as cleaning dressing rooms and green room.

HOLD ON TO YOUR HATS!!!!

Hey cast and crew - we're going to have a party! A cast party that is!

Saturday night, after the show in the Little Theatre (that's Oct 2).

Sign-up sheets to bring snacks or a non-alcoholic beverage will be up in the Green Room on Wed.

And to end the run of our show on a high note, we're gonna have.....

KARAOKE!!!

That's right, we have a Karaoke machine with over 2500 songs coming for the party!!!!

So let's keep the Joseph groove going in the Little Theatre after the show on Saturday Night!!!

Great Job Cast and Crew!!!

Great job and congratulations to the Cast and Crew of Joseph. The first weekend of shows was very well-done and absolutely amazing. You performed for 1172 people over the weekend and the theatre is extremely lucky to have everyone involved and committed to the production. Well done!!!

Now a couple of days to rest and relax......then back at it.

Wednesday September 30 - Brush-Up rehearsal at 7pm.
This is a top-to-bottom run-through of the show with cast AND crew.
No costumes or make-up - other than Joseph's coat and any other costume bits people want to practice with.
This is a very important rehearsal as it allows us to get back into the show and back to performance level.

Cast of Joseph wear hospital scrubs donated by Dr. William Fritz to the show & theatre. The scrubs will be part of the ensemble costume for the show.

"When the concept of using medical scrubs as part of the costume came up, we just thought it was natural to get one of the local surgeons involved," said producer Victoria Beal. "Dr. Fritz generously offered to buy all the suits we needed. Now, thanks to Dr. Fritz, the theatre has 30 sets of scrubs that will be used for this show and I'm sure you'll recognized bits and pieces in Barrow shows for years to come!" Beals continued.

Our thanks to Dr. Fritz for helping support Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
