Hello Everyone,
We are getting a lot done! Choreography has been a little overwhelming because this is a very dance intensive show. Due to this fact, we are going to add some Saturdays (3/5) and go to 6:30pm on Choreo days. Since this is last minute, please let us know if there are any conflicts. Cast-Please look closely at the schedule. For example, choreo is meeting at Almond on Friday from 9-1pm. Crew- Certain days have changed due to the institute day on Friday (costume crew). Please see the schedule. We will also have our dramaturgy presentation on Thursday! Ad Space- If you are interested in placing an ad in the program, please email Mrs. Riddell as soon as possible. We have to get the program done soon. T-shirts will cost $10. Please bring cash or check made out to WTHS by Wednesday, March 9th and fill out the following form: http://goo.gl/forms/2CJBVZYdDz Please email with any questions, Mrs. Riddell & Ms. Colgan ------------------------------------------------------------------ Raffle Basket Parent Help: Hello Wonderful Parents, Each year we ask parents to donate themed baskets to use in a silent auction at the musical. This year we would like to sell raffle tickets instead of the silent auction. People will buy the tickets and then place their tickets in the baskets they hope to win. The baskets are always donated and the proceeds go to the Warren Drama Boosters. The Warren Drama Boosters continually help the theatre program and provide scholarships for graduating seniors. Last year, we had amazing baskets to raffle off. Some of the themes included wine, bath soaps, olive garden, and movies to name a few. We also raffled off cubs tickets and a beautiful painting representing our theatre season. If you would like to make a donation or raffle off an item we would greatly appreciate the support. If we do not have enough interest, we may not be able to do this fundraiser. If you are interested, please email our booster president, Mary Jo Urquhart at partyof4u@aol.com Thank you for your time and consideration, Mrs. Riddell and Ms. Colgan Tomorrow (2/26 3:30-6) and Saturday (2/27 noon-3) we need ALL CAST members to learn Super letters because of the finale (including Winifred, Robertson Ay, and George).
We will update you about Saturday from 9-noon tomorrow. Thank you for being flexible! Hello, Please check over this press release for your name to be in the right crew and spelled correctly. Please do this by Friday 2/26. Email Riddell with changes. Thank you, Mrs. Riddell & Ms. Colgan

Mrs. Riddell & Ms. Colgan Directors Hello Cast, Crew, and Pit,
Thank you for coming to our first read through on Tuesday. Next week everything starts into full gear. The first week we took it easy, but now we are starting the full crew schedule and cast rehearsals. Please see the attached crew and cast schedule. Each crew will meet twice a week. Set crew will meet at the Almond campus. All other crews will meet at O'Plaine. The schedule is fluid and may vary week to week, but we will send out a text if it does.

In April, it is all hands on decks especially for crews like running crew, lights, and sound. Crew leads need to make every rehearsal possible to lead their crews. Please email your crew lead if you can not make a rehearsal. Cast/Crew Leads- Our absence policy is much more strict for cast members. Absences students mentioned on their conflict sheet will be excused. Missing for reasons other than illness could result in removal from the show. Please be aware that we can not rehearse properly without all cast members. Musical is the priority after homework and family. Jobs are not easily done while being a cast or crew lead. Please email Ms. Colgan and Mrs. Riddell if you can not make a rehearsal. Pit We would love to start right away, but the company has not sent us the music yet. Once the music arrives, Ms. Colgan will contact you to pick up your part. You will need to learn/rehearse the music on your own. Our first rehearsal will be Monday March 14th from 4-6. Ms. Colgan will email a pit only schedule, but the plan is Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays after school. Starting April 11th, we will be meeting every day with the cast. Our pit band director is Mrs. Birmingham. If you are anxious to be involved right away, we can have you join crew. Just email Mrs. Riddell and we will make it happen.Bios Students, please fill out a bio in third person to place in the program.

Since blocking has not begun, let's dive into our characters!
First of all, you need to watch as many versions of the show as you can find on youtube. Here are the links to one. It's not bad, but we can do better :) Act I Act 2 Stage Agent- Provides a video for most of the leading characters at the bottom of the page when you click on the role. http://stageagent.com/shows/musical/897/mary-poppins/characters MTI- Provides character descriptions of main lead characters. Click on the roles (on the right) and descriptions will pop up. http://www.mtishows.com/disney-and-cameron-mackintoshs-mary-poppins Character Questions (You should be able to answer all of these): What is the characters intention (broken down by scene)? What does the character want in the play? Does it change? What is the character's physical appearance? Age? Occupation? Habits? Hobbies? How does your character walk, enter a room, sit, wait, listen, eat? How is it different from you? Who are the character's friends? Enemies? Family? Social status? What is the character's best traits? Worst traits? What makes the character unique? Does your character have a physical habit (biting nails, twirling hair, etc.) What object would you associate with your character and why? What animal do you associate with your character and why? How is your character like you? Different from you? What does your character want from life (not just the play)? What are your character's fears? |
