Notes for Friday May 13 Rehearsal + Chester Playhouse Performance!

Hi everyone!

What an incredible weekend!! Thank you so much for your beautiful energy, expressivity, and dedication. We are so grateful to get to make art with you each week and we were so thrilled with both performances in Halifax. Now we get to hit the road!

We have a tour rehearsal this Friday evening for everyone who is doing the show in Chester this weekend (the only people we have confirmed who will not be doing the Chester show are Paige, Rachael, Carolyn, and Grace). Here's our plan:

Friday May 13 - The Bus Stop Theatre, 2203 Gottingen St.

6:00 Choreo Rehearsal - Servant & Poncia Only
6:30 Physical & Vocal Warmup - FULL COMPANY
6:45 Music
7:15 Transitions
7:45 Running in Sections

Rather than do a full run, we are going to run sections where blocking/music will be affected by the changes in personnel.

Saturday May 14 - Chester Playhouse, 22 Pleasant St., Chester

2:45 pm Call for Singers
3:00 pm Rehearsal - full mark through
5:00 pm Dinner
6:30 pm Call
7:30 pm Show

To Bring:
  • music and script
  • costume (including footwear)
  • all hair/makeup items
  • any props you are responsible for (fans, picture, etc)
  • gas money for your driver
  • snacks for yourself
We will have 1.5 hours for dinner but it would be best to call ahead to a restaurant in the area to book, or bring your own dinner.

We will post a drives spreadsheet on the blog within 24 hours for you to organize drives. Note that it's just under an hour drive from downtown Halifax.

Any questions, please let us know! Looking forward to sharing the show with a whole new audience in Chester!
