C&S MEMBERS ONLY: Tentative Rehearsal Schedule Until Spring Break

 Hello, Church & State cast and management! 

I will be working to get some dialect work scheduled for the coming weeks, for one or two dates. In the meantime, here is a tentative rehearsal schedule for now until the start of spring break: 


Thursday, 3/12 (4-6pm): Table Work/Character Work - ALL CALLED EXCEPT MARSHALL

Friday, 3/13: NO REHEARSAL :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Monday, 3/16 (4-6pm): Begin blocking, pgs. 9-28 - CHARLIE, SARA, and ALEX called

Tuesday, 3/17 (4-5:30pm): Dialect work w/ Josh - ALL CAST

Wednesday, 3/18 (4-6pm): Continue blocking, plug TOM and MARSHALL in, pgs. 29-46 (possible dialect coaching - may be rescheduled to later) - ALL CAST

Thursday, 3/19 (4-6pm): Block the rest of show and start work if time - CHARLIE, SARA, and ALEX called. 

Friday, 3/20: NO REHEARSAL, SPRING BREAK!!!!!!! :) 


Coming back from spring break, I may elect to continue the schedule of having four days for rehearsal, one day off - especially the first week back of 4/6-4/10, which is the state thespian festival. Ideally, I want to have the show blocked before spring break so we can start getting to the "nitty gritty" when we come back.

Generally until tech and performance time (5/3 and onwards), both TOM and MARSHALL will only be called ~1-2 times a week, while ALEX, SARAH, and CHARLIE will be called for every rehearsal. All rehearsals after spring break will be from 4pm-6:30pm. 


If you have any questions, please let me know via a direct message on sportsYou in our group. Once again, thank you all for a wonderful read-through today and I am so excited to be undertaking this journey with you all!

Cast and Management Lists

I've few words, friends, as Chris mentions below, this is truly a moment where the best and brightest in our community stepped forward to tell some amazing stories.  Thank you.
- jm

Thank you all so much for your tremendous amount of talent! Truthfully, I could have cast this show two or three times over, but casting is - as I was told by my high school theatre teachers as well - ultimately a puzzle in which every piece has to fit. All of you did an amazing job with this wonderful script, but there can only be so many of you cast and at this point in time, these are the few for this specific production. Please do not be discouraged if you do not see your name here, remember that "Shut Up, You Can't Tell Me What To Do, You're Not My Real Dad!" (hope I got that title right) auditions are in a week's time! I look forward to seeing what you all bring to this department in the coming years! 
- Chris

Cast and management are called to Rehearsal at 400pm, on 3/11, for onboarding and 1st rehearsal

Crew...is yet to be fully determined.  After an evening of diligent organization, I've yet to be able to fully build out our teams.  I will post the full Crew List here by 1000pm on 3/11.  Please check back here on this blog for full instructions and schedules over the next couple of weeks.  Please know that I value your passion and contributions...I just ran out of time to fully put things together tonight (3/10).

Thank you!...
