CAST LISTS!

Good evening, and thank you for coming out this week! We know this is a new way of auditioning for pretty much everyone, and we learned a lot ourselves. Firstly, we are so proud of all of you. It has been incredible to watch you support each other through this process. Secondly, we want to issue a few reminders about casting:

1. If your name does not appear on the Once Upon a Mattress list, it means that as of now you are in the Ensemble. That said, several roles are still to be cast. They are marked as TBD on the cast list. We will provide more information on those roles in the coming days. In addition, we will be casting Understudy roles at the pickup auditions in November. Stay tuned for how to prepare if you are interested in an Understudy role.

   1. If you know anyone who missed auditions altogether and would be interested in participating in Once Upon a Mattress, please let them know that they can also participate in pickup auditions!

2. Please complete the Participation Agreement Google Form. There are opportunities to accept your role for each show. Please be sure to read the actual Participation Agreement, which is also linked in the Google Form.

3. Once you have accepted your role(s), we will add you to the Drama Company Canvas classroom. This is where we will post schedules, rehearsal materials, general updates and announcements, etc. Please make sure you adjust your notifications so that you receive the updates in a timely manner. If you need help with this, please see a director.

4. You will not receive a script until you have completed the agreement. Do it ASAP!

5. The full rehearsal schedule for Treasure Island will be posted by the end of the week. Rehearsals for this week are posted below. Please complete the Absence Form for any conflicts you have, including regular ones such as Apex. This is to make sure we know where you are and to help us plan.

6. There are several knights and ladies that have a few lines in Once Upon a Mattress. We will be casting these as well after pickup auditions.
