Rehearsal Schedule Clarification

We've had a couple people asking for some clarification regarding who is called for certain rehearsals, so we just wanted to clear a few things up for everyone.
  • When "Fairytale Characters" are called, it refers to Pinocchio, Wolf, Witch, 3 Bears, 3 Pigs, Ugly Duckling, Sugar Plum Fairy, Humpty Dumpty, Elf, Peter Pan, Fairy Godmother, White Rabbit, and Mad Hatter.
  • Gingy is also included among the Fairytale Characters in every scene they are in, except Act 1, Scene 2.
  • Young Shrek/Grumpy will also be in the Fairytale Character scenes and should plan on coming to any rehearsals when that group is called.
  • We're working on finalizing the dance roles and will share the list with you ASAP so that you know if/when you are called for that portion of Sunday's rehearsal.
Looking forward to seeing many of you on Friday—remember, we are back at St. Ambrose for that rehearsal.

Great Start!

What a great read thru!  And our choreographer, Kathe Carande, had the whole cast up and dancing to I'm A Believer and Freak Flag as well as trying out a tap combination.  Great job everyone!    Did anyone leave a book, "Chasing the Falconers" behind at rehearsal?  I have it and will bring it to Tuesday's rehearsal.  We continue with music for the full cast so everyone is called for Tuesday 1/20 from 430pm to 630pm back at the Louisville Arts Center.

Greetings - first email to parents and cast

Greetings!
It was so nice to see so many of you last Thursday.  We are really excited about working with such a great cast!  I am attaching the rehearsal schedule that was handed out as well as the information sheet.  You'll notice that the rehearsal schedule has Jan 17 date on it.  If we make updates to the schedule and send it out again we will be sure to put a new date on it so you'll know which is the most current version.  Please remember that we start tomorrow - January 18 and our location is St. Ambrose Episcopal Church, 7520 South Boulder Road (but in Spanish Hills off of Barcelona.  You'll see the church from So, Boulder Road if you are driving west.  Turn left onto Barcelona in Spanish Hills.  If you are driving East on So. Boulder Rd you will need to turn right onto Barcelona before you get to the church.  Please note there is another big church on South Boulder Road around 63rd avenue and that is NOT St. Ambrose).  We will be doing dance auditions for our little rats, big rats, and skeleton ensembles as well as a full cast dance warmup, so be sure to wear clothes you can move in.  If you happen to have tap shoes, please bring those.  We will initially be in the Classrom in the main Church structure, then will move to the Church hall which is a little farther north.  Be sure to bring your own water bottle and a non-messy snack to eat outside if you need one!
See you soon,
Jeanie and Taylor

P.S - the notation "1-2 cr-4" just designates that we will be in a classroom at St. Ambrose.  It doesn't affect who is called for rehearsal.
