2023: Fiddler on the Roof 

Hi everyone, welcome to tech week! We are loaded into Overlake Christian Church and will be working out of their theatre for the remainder of the week. The address is 900 Willows Rd NE, Redmond, WA 98052.   

Please remember to bring all self-provided costume pieces with you on Wednesday so they are ready for the dress rehearsal on Thursday. Everyone is responsible for their own shoes and black, gray, or beige socks; nude tights are an optional alternative. 

No food or drink on stage or while in costume. Please have beverages covered in the theatre. Plan to eat in the lobby or outside during breaks. 

For theatre makeup, we are looking for eyeliner, mascara, blush, and natural lips and lids for everyone. Foundation is optional. Nothing sparkly. Hair for women should be in low ponytail or bun, young girls may have half ponytails or low pigtails. Please use neutral-colored hair ties. 

Here is a link for Russian Dancers moves we discuss: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvlbV7RKc18 

The rehearsal schedule and call times are below; we go until we are done. 

Thanks everyone! - Kristen

CALL FOR SATURDAY July 1 and SUNDAY July 2.  I anticipate needing the following actors: Thomas, Shannon, Shriya, Shruti, Austen, and Mandy.  Aviya and Averit are welcome and might be able to fill in for some extra bodies & voices. We'll be working the basics of Act One, scenes 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, and 9, as much as we can without some key players. Notes will be taken for people who are in the scenes but not called for rehearsal. I look forward to sharing that blocking when we're all together again on Thursday.  So, unless already noted, please do plan to be at KAMP on July 6, Thurs evening, for a sing-through of the music from Act 1 and notes about blocking.

Please remember that the Google Production Site (linked in Kristen's note below) the Cast List/Contact Sheet has a vacation calendar connection. Do take a moment to review that spreadsheet to add any updated (or missed) anticipated absences. Thank you very much.

Everyone--have a great weekend. It's going to be a beautiful one to celebrate our amazing country and the fabulous people in it. (insert firework excitement here)    

Let me know if you have questions.

Looking forward to seeing you all at rehearsal tonight! Jim will be out of town for a couple of weeks so it's really important for us to have as many folks as possible tonight while he is here. He may ask soloists to stay a little long (9:30).  

All cast are called this weekend for choreography and dance rehearsals. Wear something comfortable and bring water/ a snack. Please refer to the Rehearsal Calendar if you want to know which songs we are doing.

If you are scheduled to miss rehearsal please be sure to connect with scene partners to catch up on what you missed. Please text me if you are running late or will miss unexpectedly. 

We are starting to pull costumes today so may be taking measurements or asking you to try things on at rehearsals. 

If you are interested in helping to build a set piece, please let me know.  

Have a wonderful week! 

-Kristen

Hope everyone's week is off to a great start! I have created a vacation calendar, please fill in the dates which you will be unavailable for rehearsal by the end of the week so can send out a full production rehearsal calendar asap. This is the best way for me to keep track, I just have too many emails.
