ALL TOGETHER NOW!
Katy Bridges, Director

WELCOME! I am so excited to have you in our first production of the year. ALL TOGETHER NOW! is a musical review that will consist of 15 musical numbers from various Broadway musicals.
We have a month to put the show together - that is very little time, so we will be moving fast in rehearsals. It is important for you to write down all notes that will help you practice at home, outside of rehearsals. Once blocking or choreography has been taught, it will be expected for you to know when and where to be on stage and what you should be doing. Bring several pencils, your score, clothing, and shoes that are appropriate for your role, to every rehearsal. Bring a water bottle to every rehearsal. We will be dancing and you will need water.
When you are given individual direction or feedback, the correct response is “thank you”. Do not talk back to the director. We do not have time. Should you have any questions, write them down and we will have a notes session at the end of each rehearsal. Do not talk during rehearsal. Again, we have to use our time wisely to prepare for the production.
Please download the app, Talking Points. I will mainly communicate with you through Talking Points and the Drama Website on the East Cary Magnet Middle School webpage. www.wcpss.net/eastcaryms Any communication that is sent home will be uploaded to the website.
