Fall "Bastrop Showcase" space still available.
Remember comfortable clothing, a pencil,
and a bottle of water with the actor's name on it at every rehearsal.
I'm looking forward to wonderful shows this
season. We start Wednesday, Sept. 10 and rehearsals are held in The Studio
at the Bastrop Opera House. That is the yellow building behind the
theater. Look at these fun youth
show cast pics on the following page or EASY Theatre's Past

Because of the number
of actors registered. I will not be able to offer a separate "Acting
Skills through Games" in the Fall, but will instead incorporate
the them into the rehearsal times.
-
Director/Instructor: Engela Edwards
-
Musicals and Plays: On August 26, I chose
the material being performed based on who had committed by July
1, 2008.
-
Weekly Wednesday Rehearsals Sept. 10
- Nov. 19. + show block in January.
-
Holiday Break: No rehearsals Nov.
21, 2008 - Jan. 3, 2009
-
Rehearsal location: Bastrop Opera
House Studio, the yellow building immediately behind the theater.
711 Spring Street, Bastrop, Texas.
-
Performance location: Bastrop Opera
House, 711 Spring Street, Bastrop, Texas.
-
Absences:
-
While being at all rehearsals and performances
is mandatory, we know illness and emergencies happen. We expect
that if and actor is sick that they stay home, but call the director.
Actors must be fever, diarrhea, and vomiting free for 24 hours before coming
to a rehearsal.
-
Director will consider each case individually
to determine if missed rehearsal will keep a actor from performing his
role.
-
Director must be informed at registration
if there are any rehearsal or performance conflicts.
-
Weekly Rehearsal Times: You've
committed to a rehearsal slot. I determined in which show you were
cast and therefore your exact rehearsal time. Your rehearsal choices were:
-
Wednesdays before 3 p.m. This has now been divided
into three groups:
9-11 Musical group
11-1 Musical group
1-3 Play group
-
Wednesday after 4 p.m. but before 6 p.m.
This is now the 4 to 6 p.m. Musical group.
-
Dress Rehearsal and Performance week/s: In
January we will rehearse daily for one week and then perform at the end
of that week. See possible show block dates below. This is
an intense week of daily rehearsals. These rehearsals will be longer
than your normal weekly rehearsal.
-
I try
to keep the rehearsal times in line with your regular rehearsal times when
possible.
-
Meaning
if you signed up for before 3 p.m. Your final week rehearsals will end
before 3 p.m.
-
If you
signed up for an after 4 p.m. rehearsal slot then we'll try not to start
before 4 p.m.
-
Performances:
Minimum of two performances. Maximum
of six performances. Performances: Saturday and Sunday matinees
at the Bastrop Opera House. Your show will fall into one of these
show blocks. I won't be able to tell until I see how well your group
is progressing. You will know by Nov. 19 your January schedule.

MONEY:
-
Enrolling:
-
Pay the $30 non-refundable deposit due at registration
by clicking the deposit button. This will hold your place in the cast/class/rehearsal
slot.
-
A registration form will be emailed to you for
you to complete and return after you have paid your deposit. When
you pay, or if you've asked for special dispensation, when you return you
registration form, then you will be considered registered.
-
Full payment of the balance is due by
the first day of rehearsals, unless a payment plan has been arranged.
$25 late fee for if not paid by the first day of rehearsals or an arrangement
made by the first day of rehearsals.
-
The remaining $100 will be due on the first
day of rehearsals unless other arrangements have been made. This
includes a $10 non-refundable script fee.
-
You will provide your costume which must
be completely ready and worn on Nov. 19, 2008 for the publicity
pictures. Come in costume to class.
-
Work scholarships and payment plans can
be arranged, but must be done by the registration deadline. Contact
Engela at 303-5516 for more information.
-
Cancellations:
When you register for a rehearsal slot,
you are committing to the whole fee. Cancellations must be submitted
in writing and must be received 14 days prior to the start of rehearsals,
(in this case AUGUST 27). Cancellations will be refunded the amount
paid/or owed less a $50 processing/registration fee. Of course should a
class be canceled due to insufficient enrollment (almost never), any fees
paid will be fully refunded.
-
In our attempt to make this experience affordable,
we keep optional expense like video, tickets, and costumes, separate from
registration fees. These fees do not cover the cost of the project,
so we will expect you to sell tickets and program ads for the show.
-
Parents or Caregivers: May quietly
observe during rehearsals. They may also participate for free with
their registered child (there is a $10 non-refundable script fee).
Register above. If you are a participant, you are expected to attend
all rehearsals and performances.
