Fiddler Crew

Hi all -

Correction on my email yesterday, move in on Sunday starts at 9AM.  The truck will get there as close to then as possible and we can't keep it parked in the alley so please come and help unload/organize/build for a couple of hours and then you have your day back!

Please go to this link and enter your name where you can volunteer.

Microphones - 1 person from 530PM to end of show/tech rehearsal.  Don't be afraid to sign up for this.  We will have a list of mic changes and this person is responsible for ensuring the correct mic is on the correct cast member (and doesn't run off with the previous one) before they go on stage.  This means keeping track of them throughout the entire show and returning them to the sound booth afterward.

Set Crew AKA PIB (People in Black) - 5 people needed from 530PM to end of show/tech rehearsal.  These people need to be dressed in black from head (well neck) to toe so you cannot been seen when changing sets during blackouts. 

Greenroom Moms - 5 women needed from 530PM to end of show/tech rehearsal.  Spend the show in the greenroom helping kids with costume changes, hair and makeup fixes, making sure the kids are not hanging out in the dressing rooms, make their queues to be on stage and entertaining the little ones.

Hair/Makeup - As many as possible from 530PM to 730PM.  It's exactly what it sounds like - helping the kids with hair and makeup.
What to expect:

We have quite a few new cast members this show so hopefully I can provide some clarity on what to expect during tech week and performance nights. 

Tech week is the 3 evenings prior to opening night.  It is equally as important as our shows and therefore we have very high expectations. 

• The first night (August 11th) we are working on sound and lighting in addition to running a full dress rehearsal so there may be pausing and waiting for things to come together.  We need all cast members on time (5PM) and paying close attention to learn their queues and the full flow of the show. 
• The second two nights (August 12th & 13th) we run the show. Period.  We may as well have an audience because this is full show, cast, crew, etc. doing at least two full runs prior to opening night.  Again the entire cast must be there at 5PM, crew at 530PM.

We understand this is a busy and exhausting week for everyone, parents, cast and crew alike, however if you are new you will find that the energy of the cast (and Jill) is contagious and more than anything it's an incredibly exciting time! 

Performance nights are exactly the same as August 12th & 13th.  We need the entire cast to arrive no later than 5PM, crew at your designated times and stay through the end of the show. For the matinee these times are 12 noon for cast and crew.

Thanks as always for all of your support.  We wouldn't be successful without the wonderful family, friends and parents of our amazing cast members!  Please reach out with any questions.

Thanks,
Beth
