Tech Assignments!

TWO notes from Josh:

1. There is a new position to Stage Troupe tech known as "Will Wheeler". Originating from it's 6-foot plus tall namesake, this position is for a techie who may not have time to commit to a particular job, but still wants to help out with the show. The TD will put his/her "Will Wheeler(s)" on the email list and that person(s) may come when they have time and can lend a hand. They are not bound to any particular department and Strike is optional for this position. If you have any further questions, contact Josh...or Will Wheeler, I guess.

2. Wandering Minds is looking for a Producer for "Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-Long Blog" (Feb 25-27, same as W;t) and an Assistant Producer for "On The Razzle" (April 15-17). Contact Ted Atkinson if you are interesTed (get it? Interest-Ted?) at ted366@bu.edu.

*FIRST GENERAL MEETING: This Sunday, September 6th at 7 pm in CAS 224 (2nd floor). Come meet the executive board and learn about auditions, tech opportunities, and all the awesome upcoming events. The room might get a little crowded, so try to be there on time.

OTHER OPPORTUNITIES:

*CFA FALL 2009 AUDITION WORKSHOP: Please join School of Theatre professors Mark Cohen and Ilana Brownstein for an audition workshop -- open to all non-Theatre-majors -- on Friday, Sept 4, at 5p in the CFA 102.

Come prepared with a 60-second contemporary monologue if you want the chance to receive one-on-one guidance during the workshop (this is not a requirement).

"Almost, Maine"

Our annual summer production premieres tonight! "Almost, Maine" is directed by Adam Lebowitz-Lockard and Ian Cohen, and will be performed for incoming freshmen during Orientation sessions. "What's it about?" you might ask. A brief synopsis taken from http://www.almostmaine.com/:

On a cold, clear, moonless Friday night in deepest winter, the northern lights hover over the remote, mythical town of Almost, Maine. All is not what it seems as Almost's residents find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected, unusual, and often hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. And ache is all around as love is--literally--lost, found, and realized. An enchanting midwinter night's dream, Almost, Maine inventively explores the mysteries of the human heart, touching audiences with laughter, heartbreak, and hope.

The show is FREE and there will be 7 performances on Wednesday nights at 8 pm in the Agganis Student Theater:

June 10th, 17th, 24th and July 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th

So if you're in Boston or planning on visiting, come see this show!
