COSTUME INFO SAMPLE PROGRAM BIOS ANNIE PRACTICE TRACKS TECH REHEARSALS Questions? We have produced many, many shows and know what you need and want to know. We will be creating a group email list and sending information out as fast as we can get to it. Please be patient and remember that in addition to continuous work to finish our new theatre we also are all professional actors with agents, and we also have “day jobs”. Good thing we love what we do!!!!
Email at gloria@musicandtheatre.com E-mail will be responded to. PLEASE DO NOT CALL (except as noted below)!! We simply will not have time to return your call.
EVERYONE
CAST LIST If you are using a Mac and you don't see any names below, click here to e-mail us and let us know.
Congratulations on being cast!!
DOWNLOAD MISSING FIRST FOUR PAGES
We are renting scripts to comply with the MTI contract, but this download will be the script you will use. Print the whole script, or only print the scenes you are in. Any copies you make should be discarded or destroyed at the end of the production.
Check carefully that you print every scene you are in, because even if you don't have a line, you may still be in the scene. Click here to go to a page we found that has a pretty good character description for most every character.
Please email Gloria at gloria@musicandtheatre.com to confirm that you are accepting your role. Once she has received everyone's confirmation, she will contact you via email about our first rehearsal.
Practice Tracks The tracks are all in a zipped folder, which just means you can download the whole folder at once, instead of one track at a time. The tracks are all in MP3 format. You should be able to sync them to a portable device or burn them to a CD to practice with. The accompaniments are the ones we are using for performances.

If you have any problems getting these tracks, let me know at jack@musicandtheatre.com
Annie Warbucks 2004 DVD - $10 This is a DVD of a production we did in 2004 (all youth) that some of you have expressed an interest in getting to watch the choreography (movement with the songs), which will be much the same. DO NOT use for blocking, as this WILL NOT be the same. This will be just a plain DVD without packaging. I will try to get it to you by the next rehearsal after your order.
REHEARSAL INFO ALL REHEARSALS WILL BE AT 12716 Sherman Way, North Hollywood CA, 91605, the BRAND NEW permanent home for YOUNG STARS THEATRE!!
At our theatre there is no waiting room, as the lobby doubles as backstage, so parents please be prepared to drop off your children a few minutes before rehearsal and come back and wait outside to get them. There are several restaurants and even a big 99 cent store very nearby if you need a place to spend your time.
We will have our snacks and bottled water for sale ($1), but they are more than welcome to bring whatever they want from home. Every cast member needs to print the entire script or at least the parts they are in, whether they have lines or not, and bind it and bring it to every rehearsal with a pencil.

Missed
Rehearsals:
If you have to miss a rehearsal please contact the other actor playing your role to see if you can switch rehearsals with them. If you miss a rehearsal and can not switch with someone else, you can still sit in on another casts rehearsal to get your blocking or at the very least, go to the cast list on the website, see the other actor playing your role, and contact them PRIOR to your next rehearsal to get the blocking, notes, choreography, and memorization goals so that you are not behind at the next rehearsal. You are required to keep up on your own as we do not have time to teach the same material multiple times. Everyone is in this same situation and we always find that the kids are very helpful with each other when they make the effort to get together!!
Once you are given blocking for a scene you are expected to have the lines and blocking memorized at your next rehearsal. The first time you run your scenes off book you will be allowed to call for your line…. but at the following rehearsal you will be expected to get through the scenes without calling line. Please do not be late for rehearsals!! In most cases we cannot start until every cast member is there so when you are late you are holding up everyone who was on time. If you MUST be late, please call my cell phone and leave a message BEFORE your call time. Gloria Bennett 818-808-6714. You only need to call once. Once I call roll, if someone is missing I first check my messages, then if I have not heard from them then I call them to make sure they are on their way and what time they expect to be there. Everyone who is called needs to be there before we can start rehearsal, so please do everything you can (without breaking the law) to be on time. Make sure that you bring your scripts and a pencil to EVERY rehearsal.

Dress Rehearsal*
*This is the final dress rehearsal and is open to INDUSTRY GUESTS ONLY! There is no charge for them to come to this performance. You can invite one agent, one manager, and one other guest in the industry (director, casting director, producer, etc.) Seats are limited so you must email me their names to be put on the guest list and they must show their business card for entry. Once regular performances start there are no comp. tickets for anyone so please take advantage of this if you have industry guests that you would like to see you in this show!
DO NOT BE LATE! Plan to be early to be on time.
ALL SHOWS WILL BE AT 12716 Sherman Way, North Hollywood CA, 91605, the BRAND NEW permanent home for YOUNG STARS THEATRE!!
CHEAT SHEET:
This is a helpful tool for an actor that anyone can use. Very simply, it is a list of cues (what lines you enter and exit on), any costume changes and where they go, and any props that are needed. This can be posted up backstage for the actor to refer to when they are offstage, and helps them keep everything straight without having to carry a script around everywhere. For this show, everything should easily fit on one page. Keep it as short as possible. For each entrance -
FIRST: put the ACT number and the scene number, and maybe a short helpful description of the scene (i.e., "First clubhouse scene") SECOND: under that put the cue line or sound or whatever the cue is and where you enter from THIRD: under that put any props that you need Between these, put any costume changes at the places you would need to change.
Repeat for all entrances.

GALA NIGHT This performance (each Friday night for that cast) is followed by a party with free food and sodas for the cast and ticket holding audience members (tickets for this performance are $5 more to help defray the cost of food). If your family members do not attend this performance please plan to leave your cast member so they can enjoy the party.
