Metamorphoses Calendar and Fee Reminder!

 Hey Team!

I wanted to post the finalized Meta calendar for the cast and parents.  To the parents, I will be emailing out after the 25th about needs for the show, but for now my only reminder is that fees ($40) for the show are due by Friday.  Please contact me ASAP if there is an issue!

I am already SO excited about this show and for all you will get to see. A few dates if you ARE available to help are build set as needed will be emailed out after the 25th as well.  Two I know are January 7th from 2:45-5:15pm and January 10th from 1:30-5pm.  I know the times aren't as convenient, so just IF you are available to help build, those are some days that the students would appreciate the extra hands.

Metamorphoses Final Cat List!

 Metamorphoses Cast List 

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to audition for Metamorphoses!  As I said, casting this show was really tough as you all did an incredible job with auditions and callbacks.  If you are on the final casting list for Metamorphoses, please meet in the Little Theatre on Monday, December 9th at 2:45pm for our first meeting.  Thank you and again, thank you to all who auditioned!  

 

A note before you check out parts listed below - due to this ALSO being a piece for region/state in addition to the community, some parts have been cut down or condensed for time.  Everyone will be a part of the region/state team with a role we use for the show, but not each scene we do for the community will stay in the competition version.  Regardless, all community performances will have ALL parts listed below, some are just condensed from the get-go and I will provide those cuts to you on Monday when you get your scripts. I so wish we could take everything, but we have to cut things down to 50 minutes for competition.

 

A few examples are Eurydice and Orpheus is condensed, Vertumnus and Pomona have a page removed, Q&A/Eros and Psyche will only be in the community version, lines throughout will be cut ahead for time and memorization, and Myrrah/Phaeton will not be used for an Alta produced versions. Thank you for support and understanding, and please know that I will strive to not cut any additional things unless time is of the essence when we get to region/state time!
