PACKET FORMS DUE!

I am missing a few contact and release forms.  It is important that you turn them in this week.  Karin has agreed to accept them at the SOBT desk, or bring them on Saturday.  Thank you.

INFORMATIONAL PARENT MEETINGS

I will hold parent meetings tomorrow, Saturday, September 22nd at 12:15, 2:30, and 3:30 - during Angel, Battle and Party Scene rehearsals. This is NOT a mandatory meeting.  I will give a brief overview of the year and then answer any questions you may have.  Come in through the "drop-off" doors and you will be directed to the meeting room.

I look forward to meeting you!

Roles-to-Learn 2012

Thank you all for coming to auditions; it was wonderful seeing everyone! 

I am posting The Nutcracker cast-to-learn roles.  I will be at the studio on Tuesday and Wednesday to hand out the paperwork.  Rehearsals will begin this Saturday, September 15th.  I will post a schedule as soon as one is available.  If you have any questions, you can email me at:  shari.goss@obt.org

Please read before auditioning for The Nutcracker

            The Nutcracker is a professional production by Oregon Ballet Theatre.  By coming to auditions, you are committing to the entire rehearsal and performance period.  Once cast, you will be expected to attend ALL rehearsals, fittings, and performances for your role.  Therefore, it is imperative that you check and double check your calendar prior to attending auditions.  

                Rehearsals will begin Saturday, September 15, 2012 and continue every Saturday through November.  (With the exception of Saturday, November 24^th, instead we will rehearse Sunday, November 25^th.)  Weekday afternoon rehearsals may begin in November.  After the Thanksgiving Day weekend, you can expect to rehearse every day until we open on December 8^th.  Performances for the Nutcracker run December 8 – 23, 2012.

                School, job, vacation, family, or other (vocal, acting, dance) performance commitments are not excuses for missing rehearsals or performances.  If you anticipate an absence for a very special circumstance you must submit a request well in advance. 

                Thank you for your understanding, I look forward to working with you on this exciting production.
