That's a fifteen-person show. Not bad at all.
Here are the cast members who were at rehearsal on 5-25-06:
Krislyn

Reanna
Tina
Adam
Antonio
Chris
Kevin
Zach
That's a nine-person rehearsal. Bad. Real bad. The only upside is that I managed to learn a little bit of the dance. Of course, while dancing it the best I could one thing that kept going around in my mind was that since I was kind of learning it, Krislyn was going to have to teach the part again, to the missing girl. One of them anyway.
Now, I had been informed (ahead of time) that Tia, Lenora and Gary would not be at rehearsal.
So, the nine people who bothered to show up, plus the three excused absence people makes a total of twelve people.
Fifteen minus twelve is three. So tell me, Ross, Sheila and Carla, exactly why did you not have enough respect for the Guild to AT THE VERY LEAST give me a call or send me an email?????
I understand the irony with saying this to Sheila and Carla online since they don't have a computer. But I'll be calling them and telling them the same thing I'm about to tell you know.
If you miss rehearsals, I don't like it; however, if you must miss then please let me know ahead of time. That way, I’ll at least know where you are, instead of worrying that you’ve been in a car crash or something.
Here's a new rule (not really a new rule since we've done it before but it's been a while since I said it and so it’s “new to some of us”). If we are blocking a new scene or teaching a new dance, and the numbers won't require the whole cast then, if you're not at rehearsal when we do learn something new, then you can just go ahead and consider yourself out of that scene. Those who call or email me and at least let me know they aren’t going to be at rehearsal might be able to have a part if we can save something but even that's not guaranteed.
The number one best way to be in a lot of the group numbers or special parts is to be at rehearsal. Makes since, don't you think?
Okay, see you guys at rehearsal on Thursday (6-1-06). DRESS LIGHTLY and bring SUN BLOCK. Also, you might want to switch over to tennis shoes. I know that flip-flops are impossible to dance in. So you take them off and then dance barefoot. Then (after you step on glass, or on a rusted nail or something) you get to go get stitches and/or a tetanus shot. Wear shoes that protect your feet while you dance. While you dance outside most specifically.
Okay, see you Thursday 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm.
