September Tuition

Hi, All,
This is just a reminder to all of you who haven't paid your September tuition. I am going to put JAKS envelopes on the table at Performance Dance.  You can put your check in the envelope and place it in the payment box above the table in the lobby.  Thanks.  Jill

9.16.13 thru 11.9.13 ~ Les Miserables Rehearsal Schedule

Hello, Cast,
I am attaching (below) the Les Miserables schedule through November 9. I have decided to spend most of the Tuesday and Saturday morning rehearsals working out the vocal parts.  We will work on the characterizations and acting as well, but do most of the blocking on Saturday afternoons.  I will also, in the next week, get a cd to you with the entire show on it so you can learn the recititive parts.  The recititive's are all of the parts in between the songs that tell the story.  All of those parts are sung and need to be coordinated with the accompaniment.  I didn't schedule any other scene work, except on one Thursday.  If we are unable to get the vocals learned at the Tuesday or Saturday morning rehearsals I will schedule a scene work rehearsal on Thursday evening or Friday afternoon.  We'll see how it goes.  I may find that we can't move this quickly and need to change the schedule, but I'm counting on you to do your homework, learn your parts as much as you can before you come to rehearsal.  Please let me know if you have a conflict with any of these rehearsals.  Please try not to miss the Tuesday evening or Saturday morning rehearsals if possible.

Les Miserables Audition and Rehearsal Update

Hi, Everyone.  I want to let everyone know that the auditions went really well, and you all did great!  I hope you are excited about doing this show, and whether you get a lead part or not there are a lot of other parts and ensemble numbers that will keep you busy and having fun.  My big concern, regarding call backs, are the boys parts and I hope all of you boys will be able to make it back here at 7:00 tonight.  There are so many boy parts and I need to hear all of you so I can tell which parts you will sing best. 

Girls, I only called a couple of girls back.  As usual, there are a lot of girls trying for the same roles.  I do have to make some hard decisions but I think I have the information I need. 

I hope to have this show cast by late tonight. 

Vocal rehearsal tomorrow 10:30-12:00 will be for "Prologue" (chain gang) through "What have I done" I will need the following characters:
Chain gang
3 constibles
Farmer
Labourer
Bishop
Jean Valjean
Javert

Full Cast rehearsal:  1:00-4:00
Prologue and end of the Day

I will get the schedule through October to you before Monday.

Thanks.  Jill

Audition Details

Hi, All, The auditions for Les Miserables are this week.  The sign-up information is below.  Everyone needs to audition, and I will expect everyone to sing a song (or part of a song) from the show.  If you are auditioning for a specific role you need to sing a song by that character.  I am keeping Friday open for call-backs, unless it's the only day you can schedule an auditon.  There will be no rehearsal this Tuesday (tomorrow).  I will have the show cast Friday night and we will be ready to go on Saturday.  The full-cast rehearsal on Saturday will be 1:00-4:00
Saturday 10:30-12:00 will require Jean Valjean, Javert, the Farmer, the laborer and the Bishop and we will do the Prologue.
Thanks.  See you at the auditions.
