What Huckleberry will provide: A main dish and drinks similar to what we did for the Saturday potlucks

Cast Potluck:

We are planning to have a cast potluck in between both of our Saturday performances. The only stipulation from BSU is that all food needs to be store-bought (not homemade…so sad!) so we can abide by their food and drink policy. Huckleberry will be providing the main dishes and drinks on both Saturdays but please sign up to bring sides and desserts. Or just bring what you’d like to share.

Here is the link to sign up: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0F4CABA72FA5FFCF8-50570745-anastasia

Volunteers needed:

Hi cast, we need some help with kid wranglers and also front of house during all performances and tech rehearsals. Please ask your friends and family members to sign up to help with these tasks! Have them sign up on our sign-up genius here.

Kid wranglers will need to stay backstage the entire show to monitor the child ensemble. Front of house volunteers need to arrive an hour before doors open to help with tickets and ushering. They will then help set up concessions and at intermission, they will help sell concessions and clean up afterward.

Anyone who volunteers with any of these slots will be allowed to watch another performance for free. It’s a great way for your friends and family to get to see the show without paying money. Thanks for your help with this!

T-shirt ordering:

The deadline for ordering t-shirts has now passed. If you would still like to order a shirt, please contact our t-shirt company directly at this email address: info@alchemistpromo.com

We finally have our cast t-shirts ready to order! Here is the link to the Google form.

https://forms.gle/Ho6V3anrduHGSCW36

Please fill out a separate order form for each t-shirt ordered. Orders and payment need to be completed by Saturday, July 13th. Payment can be made by Venmo or exact cash at rehearsal. Our Venmo account is @thehuckleberrystar

Cast Comp Ticket Codes:
We sent out emails about your specialized codes that can be used for your comp tickets for Anastasia. This is a gift from us to you to thank you for being a part of our cast! Please check your email for the codes. If you have a family member in the cast with you, we only emailed one member of the family. Check with Kate if you have questions about who was emailed.

A couple of notes about the comp ticket codes.

– Your code is good for 4 tickets per individual, or 6 tickets per family

– Your code will only work on the orange or blue seats, not the red ones (keep in mind, in this particular theater, there are no bad seats. All seats have a great view).

– Codes can be used for any of the performances and can be split to use on multiple nights

– Once your code has been used for the specified number of seats (4 or 6) the code will stop working

– If you forget your code or can’t find your email, we do have a list of all the codes. Please contact Kate Ward (stage manager), Rebecca Tolman (who is helping with box office customer service) or Laura if you need help finding your code.

Thank you for being a part of our cast! We’ve loved working with you so far and are excited to perform this show together.

Music Rehearsals: Great job at music rehearsal last night everyone! It’s sounding great so far. Lindsay (music director) would like everyone to know that when you learn a song during music rehearsal you need to then be practicing and memorizing your part at home.

The goal would be for you to be more or less “off book” for that song by the time that we come back to that song during a music review. Please be practicing your part at home and reach out to Lindsay if you need additional help!

Bios: Please click the following links to complete your bio. Bios are due by June 28th.

Headshot photos: We will be having headshot photos taken. The dates for these have been added to the rehearsal schedule. June 17th for last names A-L and June 19th for last names M-Z.
On your assigned photo day, please come with your hair done (and makeup for women), wear a solid colored shirt and no hats.
If you are not available on your scheduled photo day, please communicate with Laura to get your photo taken.

General expectations: We thought we’d outline some expectations for rehearsal etiquette. While this is not an exhaustive list, here are some general things to keep in mind during rehearsals.
– the director, choreographer, music director is in charge. Please listen and don’t talk over them.
– be on time and ready to work when you arrive
– bring your script, a pencil, and a water bottle
– save questions for an appropriate time (i.e. after rehearsal or through email) whenever possible to help us streamline the rehearsal process.
– communicate all conflicts with Kate Ward, stage manager, and communicate if you are running late to rehearsal

Costumes: See the costume page in the menu at the top of this page for costume details.

Postcards are available to share with your friends and family. The biggest thing you can do to have a successful show is to invite people to come see it. Please take as many postcards as you’d like and share them with people you know!

T-shirts: We will be offering (optional) cast t-shirts. Details on how to order will be coming soon.

Comp tickets: We will be offering some comp tickets to you as a cast member rather than offering an invited dress rehearsal day due to the tight tech week we have. Details on comp tickets will be available soon.

Our first full cast rehearsal will be on June 10th! Can’t wait to see you all there!! Please note, there are two rehearsals before this date for a few lead roles. Check the schedule tab for details.
