Various Fairy make up ideas.....

I've been thinking over different ideas for makeup. I want everyone to have fun with there costumes and makeup, and I encourage everyone to develop their own ideas for their characters. I looked over some sites online ans was able to find several I really liked. The Clockwork Orange pic is only because I like the eye makeup idea. :o)

The.....(DRUMROOOOOLLLL)...CAST LIST!

We had an amazing turn out for our show. I was happy and bit sad that we had sooo many kids show up. Happy to have so many eager young folk, but sad that I couldn't cast them all. However, everyone who auditioned should feel proud of their performances as everyone did so well.
Our first read through is this Tuesday at 6:30 pm. It's going to be really great to get the cast together for the first time and get to know each other. I'm really excited to start this new adventure with all of these great actors.

Okay, now for the cast list......

today's auditions...

... Went so well! Every one of the 15 actors rocked and should be so proud of themselves. There was a good mix of characters and personalities. We're really pumped to see who shows up tomorrow's auditons. This is going to be a great show.
We decided our first read through will be this Tuesday at 6:30 pm. The cast will get their scripts and schedules then. I decided we'd have a second rehearsal on the following Tuesday, the 15th. This way the cast gets a chance to get to the script and their characters, and can come back with a better idea of what's going on.
Ooh, I can't wait for tomorrow!

music update (four days away!)

We are four days away! I am so excited!
I met with two young ladies today who may be two great additions to our orchestra. Hannah, who recently played the White Rabbit in Dorothy Meets Alice, plays both clarinet and bass clarinet. Miss Winter plays the flute. I gave the some copies of the music to study over. They'll be coming to auditions this weekend to show off their mad skills with our music.
After talking with Junia, our assistant director, we're overflowing with ideas for choreography for the songs. Not too worry for those who can't really dance. It'll be easy, fun stuff. We're really excited to get started with this show!
Tomorrow's to do list: copying music so our musicians and us directors can scribble all over, figuring out blocking, and finishing the schedule. I have decided rehearsals will be Mondays thru Thursdays, 6:30-8:30. Since it's a musical, we need the extra time.
It's going to be awesome!
