Actors    Sorry, the hymnals were in Justin’s car, didn’t get out with all that was going on, they are on the shelf now. Make sure your hats are pushed back so we can see your faces.  Mission band, can you all exit, through the red or wait for Logan to enter before you exit after the first scene. KEEP GOING, if you are exiting in the wings, don’t stop,  keep going til you are in the alley, you are creating a BOTTLENECK! Please have a sense of urgency when doing the scene changes.  Can you take your glasses with you when you leave the hotbox? Audience, don’t want to break them during change. I apologize that we didn’t warn you before we used the fogger/hazer.  I’d like to assure you that is hypo allergenic, AND it will be placed up in the fly not right in front of the stage so you should have a much easier time with it from now on.  Those of you who take benches off if you are able and there aren’t two of you REMEMBER to lift them up vertically. Please don’t take someone’s prop that has been preset, if you didn’t preset it, it’s not yours.

Crew Call is 6:00, or as close as possible. Ninja couture tomorrow please and thank you! You rock my socks!

No worries. I was surprised and disappointed to only receive 4,800, though. I understood that I was supposed to receive 5,200. There were 101 costumes in this show. That makes the rental only $47. 52 per costume. At 5,200, it was already at only $51. 49 per costume. Please relay this to Mary Ellen, and I will, also. Thanks again, and do not worry everyone makes mistakes. You are already forgiven! Ramona

Jessie, I do not know if you received my message, but costumes will be ready for pick-up on Saturday, so please schedule the pick-ups and request the check. You probably have already taken care of this, since you are so efficient; my e-mail has not been responding lately, so I was not sure if you received this, so I am trying, again. Thanks so much!!!-Ramona

Directions to A cut Above Costumes

From Austin

Drive North on I-35

Take Exit 254

Take a right on 3406/Old Settlers Road

Take 2^nd right on Lamar Drive

Got through 2 way intersection

It’s the last building on the right before East Texas Ave. 

150 Texas Ave, Round Rock, TX 78664
(512) 452-5576

General Costume sign up sheet is attached.  Be sure to sign up for a slot to pick up your costumes!  I will send that to Ramona this evening so she has the schedule!  On Saturday when you arrive, A label MUST be put on your costume.  If you are here before someone to help, please take your labels and pin/gun them into your stuff. The label MUST remain on your costume.  If you get it mixed up with your cast mates when it’s washed, we can’t help you…. When you go on Saturday, just get your stuff, nod smile and leave, we will fix any mistakes, and you will look wonderful.  You can try your costumes on-on Saturday, don’t ask to do it at Ramona’s.   Newbies will need to make a deposit, either on card, or via check, you will need to show her your drivers license.  Being specific in ones movements not only ensures the quality of the piece but it also ensures you won’t grab something you weren’t meant to grab.  If you bring it in, take it out, there are a lot of starbucks, golden chick and water bottles in the theatre that aren’t walking themselves out.

Next Performance/Schedule Saturday, May 10 10:30 to 12:30 Costume pick-up go at your appointed time! Ramona has the schedule 1:00pm Start Tech; Called: full band and cast Run act two just for band and actors Small break Start tech NO COSTUMES 5:00pm dinner break 6:30 back from Break, start second run WITH costumes Hard stop at 11 Sunday, May 11 1:00pm Scene Work afternoon / pianist only Dinner break at 5 pm 6:30 call for dress rehearsal run all cast all band

Set Before the run, we need to look at the platformage SR in the pit, something is not right, and I won’t let actors on it until it’s fixed.  Kinda nervous about the wings, are we sure that’s the only compromise?  Need a phone to put in the booth If we take 18 inches off of benches two OR three we might JUST squeeze in front of the baton, AND fit all of the actors… When loading in, look at the ladder rails, the horizontal cross bracing impedes crossing over underneath

Props Tamar/Jayson, can you discuss the prop shelves please I need them organized and labeled tomorrow, Jayson, do you want to do it? Need a closed sign for the newsstand, handmade please.
