Rehearsal and Set Building

Everyone take a look at the calendar for November which is coming up. Make sure you check it frequently for changes. Basically, we are going to be starting to run the show in earnest, putting it all together and having everyone listening for their cues, etc. We will also continue to work on set building throughout so that we can get everything under control. I need all of you to work on finding your costumes and to bring them to the school. Also, if there are people who volunteered to bring props or furniture, we need them to be brought in. For the rest of the time we will need everyone to be at the rehearsals so that we can have the flexibility to work whatever scenes we need to as we go on. It's going to be awesome!

The Cast List is Posted! Come check it out in the Little Theatre, just outside my office! I'm very excited. Remember to come tomorrow to the first cast meeting. You may bring food to share if you like.

Audition Update!!!

Okay, here's the deal.

• The Monday auditions will continue as planned with everyone coming and singing during the time for which they signed up. These will take place in the Little Theatre. Just FYI, similarly to Riverton (and especially since we have no costumes or anything to start with) we will be requiring that you bring with you to the audition a check for $40. This will not be cashed or used unless you are cast in the play. If you are not cast, the check will be returned to you.
  
• Tuesday will consist of people coming and reading for us in the Little Theatre. On Tuesday, everyone will come and grab some sides (small bits of script) to work with and cold read, so we can get a sense of your acting ability. This will begin immediately after school in the auditorium. If you have a plus schedule, simply come right after that, and we will still be there.
  
• On Wednesday, we will have the dance auditions at 3:15in the Auditorium. Everyone must come. Miss. Holland will teach you a dance and then you will perform it for us. Again, if you have a plus day or another activity, you may show up right after that so that you can still audition.
  

Please let me know if you have any questions and spread the word to your friends to check the blog for this new information. Thank you.

My Fair Lady Auditions!

Hey there, I have posted flyers all around the school and I have posted a sign up sheet on my door for the singing auditions for the first ever Herriman High School Musical. Come to my classroom (the Little Theatre) and sign up for a time to come and show off your singing.

All you have to do is choose a song that shows off your voice and sing 17 bars/measures of it for us. You will need to either sing a cappella or bring your own accompaniment (whether that means a CD or pianist).

The singing auditions will be Monday, September 13th right after school and going into the evening. The dance auditions will be the next day (I will let you know how they will be run when I find out from the dance teacher), and then Wednesday the 15th will be a day for reading and callbacks.

I look forward to kicking this year off right with an awesome musical and I'm excited to see you guys perform. Let me know if you have any questions.

Ms. Brugger

P.S. I don't always get a chance to check the blog everyday, so if your question is urgent, you can come find me in my classroom sometime or email me at kaycee.brugger@herrimanhigh.org.

Shakespeare Competition

Just F.Y.I., the Shakespeare Competition is on hold for the moment. There were some issues with paperwork, so I'm not sure yet if we get to go. I'll let you know when I know more, but for now everything is up in the air. Still prepare a monologue for the auditions so you'll be ready, but they are on hold for now.

Thanks.

Also, in answer to a couple questions I received a bit ago: the musical will be open to anyone in any year of school. Limitations will be based on academics, i.e. you must retain a good GPA and continue to go to your classes and do your homework while you are in the musical. Also, there is no MDT class. Not this year at least. Possibly in the future, but who knows?

Stage Crew Training

Hey there, I know this is super short notice, but I thought I'd get the word out even if it doesn't reach anyone in time. Tomorrow (as in Wednesday the 18th of August) there will be a training for all of the equipment in the Auditorium. If you are planning on taking my tech class, this would be beneficial for you. Basically, if you are interested in coming, please do. If not, I will see you next week in class.
