Car Pool Notification for Dress and Beyond!

Our Green Room chair is getting ready to put together the cleaning schedule for move-in, dress rehearsals and shows.  Cast and crew members will be assigned cleaning duties at least once during this time.  Kids need to stay after move-in/dress/shows to fulfill cleaning responsibilities.  Cleaning takes about 20 minutes after kids are out of costume.

If you are planning to car pool and your kids need to be on the same cleaning day as those they are riding with, you must put in that request to Noelle Martinez (dramamama.cyt@gmail.com) by Wednesday, 2/6.

Crew Not Called Friday

On your rehearsal schedule Friday is a Full Company call, however, at our first parent meeting Jeff McHenry specified that crew was only called to our Run Through rehearsals.  So, Friday 2/1, crew is not required at rehearsal!

Cast and Crew Photos

We will be taking formal cast and crew photos on Saturday, February 23rd, before our 7:00 show.  Call time for photos will be 4:00 PM.  

This is a change from the call time of 6:00 on the rehearsal schedule!  Please make this change on your calendar.

Auction Request!

AUCTION REQUEST: 

The auction committee has decided on a theme for the raffle basket ~ EASTER. 

We need your help.  If you’re able to donate any appropriate EASTER BASKET items, it would be greatly appreciated.  Please bring your donation to the second parent meeting (Feb 9).  We’re hoping to have the biggest Easter Basket ever as our raffle basket!

Please email us at auction@journeytheater.org if you have any questions.

Thanks!

Costume Fitting this Friday ~

We will be doing costume fitting during rehearsal this Friday, 2/1.  Cast members must wear shorts and a tank top under their clothing so they can comfortably change and be fitted with their show costume.

Kids will not be changing in the bathrooms.  They will be changing with costume parents and other cast members.  Please make sure their "under garments" are modest and appropriate for this setting.

We will be discussing under garments that are to be worn during the show in more detail at our 2nd parent meeting!

Program Ad Update!

Journey show programs can be very striking!  Parents have successfully built programs that have had bios and photos for every Vancouver East show.  In fact, we have had a color cover for every show but one.

To have a great program we have ad sales goals to meet.  The numbers are:
$2000 - black and white program, cast and crew listed, no photos or bios.

$2500 - black and white cover, all cast and crew listed with photos, bios and head shots.

$3000 - color cover, all cast and crew listed with photos, bios and head shots

Right now we have $1320.00 in ad sales.  The program committee is making contacts and working on ads sales.

I am sending this email so that you are aware of where we are and what is needed and to let you know we can use your help!  If you own a business and would like to place and ad, please do so!  If you know someone who has a business and might like to place an ad, please ask!

New program advertising forms are in the Magic Box for you to take and share with potential advertisers!  

Cast and Crew Photos, 4:00 PM, 2/23

Please make a note on your calendar ~ cast and crew photos will be taken the first Saturday of our show run, 2/23.  Cast and crew call time is changed to 4:00 PM to allow time for photos.  This is the only day of formal cast and crew photos.

Friday Rehearsal Notes

We will be selling pizza for $1.50 a slice at our rehearsal tomorrow evening.  If you are ordering, arrive a few minutes early and place your order with Levi (Stage Manager).  This helps us get through the ordering in time to start rehearsal right at 5:00.  Pizza will be delivered at our dinner break.

We will have Secret Pal forms for kids to complete Friday night.  As it is an all cast and crew call, it is a great opportunity to do so!  Please take time before rehearsal to talk over secret pals and give your student permission to participate if you choose.  Remember, Secret Pals is optional!

Annie Warbucks Press Release

The Annie Warbucks press release is done and ready to be shared with your friends, family and teachers!  Go to the link below to view, download and share!


Annie Warbucks Press Release

Rehearsal Attendance Reminder!

As a cast or crew member of Annie Warbucks (or any Journey show) you are expected to attend every rehearsal you are called.  Absences listed on your audition form were cleared and are listed on the rehearsal schedule.  These absences are excused.

If you are ill or have a family emergency and are unable to attend a rehearsal please contact me (Fredia, 360-713-7020).  These absences are also excused.

Other absences from rehearsal are not excused.  The Artistic Team will acknowledge your need to be absent, however it is not excused.  Unexcused absences are considered during the casting process and may effect your participation in future shows.

Parent Pass Note

Parents with children in the show are entitled to purchase a Parent Pass.  The pass itself is a badge with a picture of your child(ren) and the show logo.  It's a fun keepsake, helps support Journey Theater, and will allow the holder to see multiple performances of the show (subject to seating availability) for a flat fee of $25 per pass.  

Parent Passes may be purchased for the cast or crew member's parents, siblings and/or grandparents only, and each pass comes with a reserved seat in the parent pass section on Opening Night.   For all other performances, the Parent Pass holder may sign up to use an available, unsold seat.  These seats will be assigned by the box office committee just before the performance starts, by giving each pass holder on the list a ticket for an open seat, as available, in the order sign-ups were received.  In the event of a sold out performance, seats will not be available for Parent Passes.

If the Pass holder is working for his or her committee on Opening Night and will be unable to see that performance, they may reserve the seat for another performance.  Please contact the office as early as possible to make these arrangements - by email at b.maxwell@journeytheater.org, or by phone at
360-750-8550. 

Parent passes are not guaranteed specific seats, therefore, they may not be used to sit with paid ticket holders.  Parent Pass holders wanting to sit with family or friends attending a performance will need to purchase a ticket with that group. 

Please make a note of the deadline for Parent Pass orders, as late orders won't be accepted. 

Thank you for your participation and support for this Journey Theater show!

Encouragment from HYPE

Hey Everyone!!!

HYPE would love to give some encouragement this weekend, the audition process can feel very long. We all know how hard it is to wait for that dreaded list, and now that it is up, soaking in all that has happened, so here are some verses that will hopefully help you put your eyes on the Lord. Congratulations to everyone this weekend :) 

Proverbs 3:5-6 

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

Isaiah 41:10

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

1 Peter 5:7

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
