Performance Information

JUNE: 23rd , 24th , 25th
This is a copy of the production schedule for all cast and crew. Please ensure that you read the calendar very carefully and notify the director with any issues about the dates.
Actors:
Actors are expected to attend all rehearsals. We want to create an exciting and entertaining piece of theatre and in order to do this we must be organised. We need professional people who will be committed and dedicated to this show; if an actor misses three rehearsals, we will give their part to another student.
Please ensure that you sign the CONTRACT stating that you understand about the Activities cycle and weekend rehearsal schedule.
All actors with speaking lines will be given a script and are expected to keep this safe.
Actors will have learnt their lines by Friday JUNE 11th.
Crew:
Crew are only asked to attend rehearsals when specifically stated ‘Tech Rehearsals’ (in blue) on the calendar.
There will be a weekly production meeting on Wednesday lunchtimes in the Auditorium 13:00-13:30.

Your child has attended an audition and has subsequently been offered a part within the Summer production of The Cabinet of Dr Caligari. The show was originally a German silent horror movie and has been adapted for the stage by Gary Earl Ross.
Please take some time to read through the following rehearsal schedule. This is also available in colour on the school website under the Drama section. The majority of rehearsals will be taking place in Wednesday ‘Drama and Theatre’ Activities, with some full day rehearsals in school time and some weekends.
If you are happy with your child being in the 2010 production, permit their attendance at the weekend rehearsals and will arrange transport, please sign and return the slip attached.
May I request that you also make a note of the performance dates and ensure that, having attended these rehearsals and put in a lot of effort and time, your child is available for these dates in June?
Many thanks in advance for all of your support with this project.
Best Regards,
Miss H. Goodman
