Hey Team!
First, THANK YOU to all the parents who have been helping behind the scenes with dinners, concessions, picking up materials, costumes, headshots, break-a-legs, tickets, etc. Your efforts are not unseen and greatly appreciated. Also THANK YOU to the cast and crew starting out - you guys are making this show work and you're working hard - I see that and I appreciate you. Know that I am so excited with all of the choices you're making on stage and the kindness you are showing one another - I really love working with you and am excited about tech weeks coming up.
Next a HUGE THANK YOU today for your hard work on the Chant number... Today was a lot of repetitive movement and waiting around, but it looked super cool. Also, it was NOT a five minute song... with the intro and extro is it A SEVEN MINUTE SONG we did today... high five to us!
Musical Tickets go on sale October 27th for the Opening Night Gala and then on November 3rd for all other shows and other seats on opening night.

If you are unfamiliar with the Alta tradition, we do an Opening Night Gala in the West Lobby of the PAC at 6pm our opening night of show. That means November 19th this year at 6pm. With the price of your ticket it includes some fun Hors d'oeuvres and drinks before the show, a preview performance from some of the cast, introductions of all of the characters and mingling with actors pre-show IN character, and your entry ticket. Plus, you get to choose your seats ahead of the other patrons if purchased before November 3rd. It's a great way to have fun on opening night, celebrate the cast and crew, and give back to Alta Theatre, so think about grabbing a Gala ticket for $17 (fees included). There are only 150 spots for the Gala!
CAST - remember to get your shoes this weekend for next week's rehearsals and look at the last blog entry for info and dates on hair and makeup needs!
Last, a reminder that we have a big build and cleaning dance day on Saturday the 1st of November and if there are any great builder parents out there who want to come screw in walls and get finished some set, please let me know. No pressure on this one, but it may help to have a few solid hands with the one big wall to get set. It shouldn't take long and I will send out another message the week before with specifics on time, but we will likely begin at 8am.
Thank you guys and excited to open this show in just FIVE WEEKS!
