Schedule Changes and Costumes *Please Read*

Cast and family, here is some important information regarding schedule changes within TrueVoice and the Princess Pages. Please let me know if you have any questions.


Theatre Workshop has been cancelled due to lack of participation/scheduling conflicts. We can hold them in the future is 10 or more people sign up Please contact me if you'd like to be "signed up," for future classes.

Rehearsal schedule for this coming Tuesday 3/8 is changed due to scheduling conflicts with many of our participants. Instead of running the show full cast top to bottom we will only call Principal Parts. *If you have already advised of a schedule conflict and you are a principal please do not worry about missing* The following roles please come to rehearsal next Tuesday if possible: Mother Nancy, Sarah, FGM, Young Prince "Charming," Magic Mirror Megan, Witch Lucy, Cindi, Pocho, Aurora, Belle, Ariel, Rapunzel, Giselle, Tiana, Jasmine, Aladdin, and Esmeralda.We apologize for any inconvenience these changes may have caused.

This Sunday we will start giving props and costumes for the chorus scenes. We will also be taking a collection of any and all fancy/prom type dresses any could loan to our Princess Pack.

My Princess Pack girls, if you already have the perfect dress you want to wear... please let me know as soon as possible, so I'll know how many dresses we will need over all. Thanks everyone!

The Princess Pack *Costumes* (Everyone please read)

The Princess Pack has unanimously decided to wear fancy/prom dresses as their costumes for "It's All About The Shoes." So... if any cast members have a dress they wouldn't mind letting someone in our Princess Pack borrow we would greatly, greatly appreciate it. (The dress will be returned to you after the show.)


In the next few days, please start bringing your fancy/prom dresses to rehearsal so that Rebecca can collect them. Then on Sunday 3/6, we will hold a costuming session where each girl can pick out her dress/try it on and take it home with her. (For those lending dresses, don't worry I will keep up with which dress went to whom.)

Princess Pack please come to rehearsal @ 3:30 instead of 4:30 on Sunday 3/6 for costuming. Thanks!

Music!

I know this is late, so sorry for that but as they say... better late than never! If you click on the links or post then into your internet browser you should be able to access and print the music that we ran out of on our first read through. Please send us an email if you have any problems. Thanks!

Updates on our first cast rehearsal

Last night's read through went so smoothly. Every one was focused and expressed a high level of enthusiasm for their role for which the production team was totally blown away. The Muses and The Princess Pack, got into their roles very quickly and were just delightful. We are so thankful to have talented cast members like you in our midst!


Last night we were able to cast for, "Little Town-Belle," "Poor Unfortunate Souls," and "Down in New Orleans." If you were absent please send us an email and let us know if you are interested in being in these scenes. Down in New Orleans requires prior dance experience but any one can join the other two. *Please note* If you commit yourself to these scenes it means you must show up to those rehearsals.

*Parents* I have added many of your emails to our distro. If you do not want to get updates please email me and let me know.

Theatre Workshop If at all possible, I highly recommend signing up for our Theatre Workshop Every Saturday afternoon from 2-4 PM starting March 5 and ending April 30th. This will give you a little bit of an edge on perfecting your vocals, line delivery and theatre movement. Tuition is $125 for 8 sessions. Please contact Rebecca Housley 720-205-2954 to sign up or email us.

*Reminder* Several of you forgot to print and bring your contract and production fee. You can choose the payment plan but we need at least $25 as soon as possible so we can put our deposits down on the sound equipment, venue space and band. You can either bring your payment to your next rehearsal or, just send it in the mail to TrueVoice Studio Attn: Scott Merchant 2150 S. Bellaire Ave. Denver CO 80210. If you mail it please be sure and send us an email to let us know to expect it through the mail.

*Scripts* Yikes, some of our scripts went missing. If you borrowed one and didn't turn it in... please bring it to us on your next rehearsal date. You are welcome to purchase one for $5, if you so desire.

*Music* We're so sorry we ran out of music last night. Please know we will get you the music you are missing as soon as possible.

*Blog* Please don't forget to join the blog... the address is: http://www.truevoicestudio.blogspot.com/

Again, you guys are the BEST cast ever. It is thrilling to think in a couple of months we'll be sharing this fabulous story with our community. Thank you all for your hard work and commitment!

Letter from Scott

Hello My Amazing Cast and Artist Community!!!!






Rehearsals are well underway and we are SO excited to be working with such a talented group of people! I am truly blessed to have you all join us on this journey (remember the Journey is the Key!)





Im writing to all of our Moms and Dads (and grandparents) out there to let you know that we are looking for some help in some specific areas.





The first thing Im desperate for is some folks to help us with our costumes. I have 100 costumes to complete in 90 days and I only have 2 costumers. So if there are parents out there who are good around a sewing machine and can actually make some costumes for us we would be ELATED! :)





The second thing Im looking for is a couple of folks who know how to build sets who can help us to make some platforms for our stage. If you have build experience please let me know!! :)





Finally there will be, in a month or so, a "build day" when we paint and build and make things for our space. My goal is to transform the space into a beautiful venue. The white walls will be covered with leaves and things to make it look amazing. We want to make the audience feel that they have entered into a magical space! I'll need everyones help in this.





Also, I will be sending out fundraising/ticket sale info in the next week or so!





So for any of you who are interested in any of this?? Please let me know my friends!!! :)





Lets keep moving towards our Happily Ever After!





Warmest Regards,





Scott Merchant
