Character Arc Check-ins

  • Natalie

    • Summer show rehearsals continue to be delightful. We met for the first time in about a month last Tuesday, and the cast is doing really well with memorization and their acting as a whole. We discussed the FYSOP performance, and as of right now, three out of four actors are confirmed to be there on August 26th, and our last actor will be either confirming or denying in the next few days. We’ll go about finding an understudy if they’re unable to be there. I also spoke with the cast regarding cancelling our August 20th virtual performance in favor of allowing actors to pack and enjoy their last week of summer; the cast seemed relatively neutral about either option, and I believe Emma was leaning towards cancelling. Finally, I talked with Emma about having an in-person Revival show on September 4th, considering we will have the in-person FYSOP show as a precedent. Please let me know if y’all think this is possible, and how I can help make it a reality. (email)

  • Jack

    • We had our first two rehearsals since the hiatus and they both went very well. We’re still waiting on one cast member’s availability for FYSOP. Things are just generally going well and I’m looking forward to hopefully having that FYSOP performance assuming everything is cleared. (email)

  • Chris

    • I reached out to Ella and confirmed she’ll be there for the show on the 6th to do sound. Just a heads up in advance, I’ll be out of town from the morning of the 6th to the 9th with pretty limited wifi so if something comes up I won’t be able to fill in, but I doubt something will and I know directors have helped in the past. Unfortunately Ella won’t be in Boston for the in person performance on the 26th, but I can absolutely do sound and lights or find someone if needed. Everyone else on the tech team is in FYSOP so I don’t think it should be too much of an issue, but I’ll reach out to see if there’ll be any conflicts. I’m also going to see if I can meet with directors this week or next about ironing out the in-person tech details. I’ll reach out to the creative team with a when2meet link later tonight or tomorrow to arrange that! (email)

  • Stella

    •  Scheduling rehearsals for next week

    • 2-3 rehearsals this week to get things back in motion

  • Angel

    • I think graphics/posts for the remaining shows are ready to go once the FYSOP date is confirmed. I can also ask the Character Arc chat about that soon. (email)


Revival show/student showcase performance(s)

  •  FYSOP performance: August 26th

    • Should find a time to rehearse beforehand, make things work in person

    • Ask Aidan and Neha for rehearsal space???

  • Student Showcase: September 4th

    • Do we want to do our revival show at the same time?

      • We could do it on the 3rd?

        • But then we lose Splash promo

      • Just do the show earlier in the evening?

        • Like 6 or 7 - Showcase is at 8

  • Do we want to be a part of Student Showcase?

    • It feels like more of a singing/dancing sort of show

      • nah

Project Empathy

  •  Performance project

    • Actors paired up, perform monologues about each other

      • Empathy connection and such, sorta similar to Theater in Action

  • Would we be interested in adding this to our season this year?

    • Sounds interesting, but it’s more of a workshop than a show

      • Might consider it as a special project thing in the spring? But probably not
