Rehearsal absences...

Hi everybody~

Rehearsal-missing has been somewhat of a problem lately, and it's gotten to the point that I think it needs addressing.

As you know, we do not have a lot of rehearsals for shows at Kaleidoscope - 12 to 18 hours is the norm, and that's probably a QUARTER of what you find anywhere else. Couple this brief rehearsal period with the many other significant struggles we encounter (not getting to work in the venue until the morning of a performance, changing blocking for proscenium versus in-the-round performances, including audience participation in the show, etc.), and it is a wonder our shows consistently come out as wonderful as they do! No doubt, this is due a great deal to the tremendous talents of our performers, and their continued attempts to strive towards excellence in all of our endeavors together.

No matter HOW talented individual performers might be, however, our work can only come so far with such little time together. A great deal of work can be done at home (memorizing lines and blocking, learning your songs and coming up with amazing ideas on how to better your performance), but an even greater amount of work can only be done in a rehearsal environment with other people. You will get ideas from your scene partners, and develop a deeper understanding of your inter-relationships. You will pick up on the subtleties of each other's performance, and begin to fine-tune your own in relation to the others around you. Furthermore (and perhaps most importantly), you will continue to develop your skills as an actor, and your sensitivity to the performances of others.

I have put forward a tremendous effort to schedule rehearsals around people's availability. I recognize that Kaleidoscope's season occurs when many people take vacations, go to the beach, and enjoy a relaxing break from school or work. However, once you have given me your conflicts and I create a rehearsal schedule around your (and others') availability, I expect a commitment to these rehearsals. I understand that things come up, and I have no issue with people missing rehearsals due to illness, deaths of loved ones, etc. These are certainly valid reasons to miss rehearsals. However, it is not valid to miss rehearsal because something else came up AFTER you already committed to us. This includes things like going to the beach and other summertime recreation (I don't care HOW nice a day it is), being tired and just not feeling like it, and (especially) having rehearsals for other shows.

Please don't think for a second that I am discouraging anybody from working with other theatre companies - I of all people would be the LAST person to do that! But it is extremely unprofessional to audition for a second show when you've already committed to Kaleidoscope, and then expect us to work around your newly limited availability! If you are in "Show A" and you audition for "Show B", then the professional approach is to tell Show B that you have certain conflicts due to Show A. I am happy to work around another show's schedule when you are upfront with me. However, once you have made a commitment to Kaleidoscope, I expect you to be just as upfront with other directors/theatre companies. This also applies to any added soccer practices, clarinet lessons, or rehearsals at your dance studio - if your teacher/coach tries to add an extra rehearsal when you are supposed to be here, then professional protocol dictates that you simply say, "I'm sorry, I have another obligation that night," and propose another date/time that is not in conflict.

You've probably heard me (or David, or Nicki) say that each rehearsal you have with Kaleidoscope is like an audition for the NEXT show that we're doing. We always want to bring back people who are hard workers, or who are easy to get along with, or who help out, or are fun to have around, etc. Well, the same goes for reliability. Be assured that the next time we are casting a role that you're right for, we will pick somebody whose reliability we can count on. Whether or not you're that person is up to you. :)

I'm very proud of the work that we've been getting done in rehearsals lately, and I do want to thank those of you who continue do your absolute best and are always here on time, rip-roarin' and ready to go!

Greetings, Cards...

To my Two, Five, and Seven of Hearts~
I just wanted to let the three of you know that you're doing a really great job in rehearsals. You're all paying attention beautifully, taking direction superbly, and bringing so much to the table - you have exceeded my expectations for rehearsal after rehearsal (and my expectations were not low to begin with!).
Thanks for all of the hard work that you're doing, and keep up the great work!

Come to the Cabaret!

Kaleidoscope will be performing “A Killer Cabaret” on Friday the 13th of July at Homestead Gardens!

What good is sitting alone in your room? Life is a cabaret, and so is death in this entertaining song- and dance-filled night of merriment where audience members become stars, and danger lurks around every table. The Cabaret's producer, Agrava Krispie (Sandy Cerel), famous author of such mystery novels as Ten Little Indecisions and Death on Denial, presents her first Cabaret. Her all-star cast includes Lucky Charms (John Britto) as the Master of Ceremonies, Agrava's niece and nephew Coco Krispie (Jamie Dellorco) and Rhyce Krispie (Tommy Iafrate), her ex-sister-in-law Sugar Smax (Gina Wesley) and last but not least (and he will certainly tell you!) former child star Razen Bran (Bill Whitehead). They combine their talents to make for an evening of sweet entertainment. But someone is trying to murder the Queen of Murder Mysteries! Audiences help track down the 'cereal' killer in time to remind us that there is truly 'no business like show business'.

Tickets, which include dinner and the show, cost $35.00.

To reserve your seat, call Angela at (401) 309-1882!

Kaleidoscope is now on MYSPACE

Kaleidoscope is happy to announce that it now has its very own myspace page. It can be found at www.myspace.com/kaleidoscopetheatre!

Like the blogs, we hope that myspace will be another way for all Kaleidoscopians to keep in touch with each other. It's also a very efficient way to share photos. Right now, all the photos we have on record since the summer of 2002 are up on the page. Feel free to leave us comments, picture comments, and messages - and if you have any photos that we don't, send them on over to us and we'll put them up!

Here's one photo we do have, it's of Graham just a couple of years ago - then a mouse, now the Prince in Cinderella! Time sure goes by fast! The photo also features: Anne Harsch as Cinderella, Chris Schultz as the King, and Justin Robinson as the Prince. (Summer 2002).

A note to the vertically challenged (and their taller counterparts...)

Happy 50th Post!!!

(The rest of this message is just for the cast of SNOW WHITE.)

Hello, hello, hello!

Thank you everyone, for a great first rehearsal last night! At first, it was very daunting that out of a cast of 11 people, 9 are brand new to the show, and the other 2 are in different roles than last time -- that leaves a lot of work to do in only 8 rehearsals! But after getting together last night, I am confident that this cast will be absolutely wonderful.

Below is our specific rehearsal breakdown for the rest of the rehearsal process. After we work a scene, please be off-book (lines, lyrics, blocking, and choreography) for the next rehearsal, even if it is not on that day's agenda. Being off-book at the next rehearsal will allow us to begin working in-character instead of off-the-page.

The rehearsal schedule is:

Monday 6/11, 5-7
Agenda: Meet-and-Greet, Teach sign, Dwarves' entrance dance
Called: Dwarves and Snow (5-7); Huntsman, Prince and Queen (5-5:30)

Monday 6/18, 5-7
Agenda: Review sign and entrance dance, teach Laugh and all Dwarf/Snow scenes
Called: Dwarves and Snow

Wednesday 6/20, 5-7
Agenda: Block all Snow/Queen scenes (or as much as possible!)
Called: Snow, Queen

Monday 6/25, 5-7
Please come prepared to take pictures!
(Tentative schedule - this day's breakdown may change)
Agenda: Block Dwarf/Queen scene, Dwarf/Prince scene, and any remaining Dwarf stuff. Run through all of Dwarves' scenes, assign dwarf costumes.
Called: Dwarves, Snow, Queen, and Prince

Wednesday 6/27, 5-7
Agenda: Block Snow/Prince stuff (5-6), solo Snow stuff (6-6:30), and Snow/Huntsman stuff (6:30-7)
Called: Snow (5-7), Prince (5-6), and Huntsman (6:30-7)

Monday 7/2, 5-7
Agenda: Stumble-through of the show (filling in any gaps), assign Dwarves their costumes
Called: All

Friday 7/6, 5-7
Agenda: Run-through the show (in costume)
Called: All (Alyce and Nikki unavailable)

Monday 7/9, 7-9
Agenda: Dress Rehearsal!
Called: All

And, for your first homework assignment...

Dwarves: on Monday 6/18, come in prepared to tell us a story about a time that YOU felt the way your DWARF is characterized.
DOC, tell us about a time that you felt really, really SMART.
GRUMPY, tell us about a time that you felt GRUMPY.
BASHFUL, tell us about a time that you were extremely SHY or SELF-CONSCIOUS.
SNEEZY, tell us about a time that you either couldn't stop SNEEZING, or were extremely SICK.
HAPPY, tell us about a time that you felt simply OVERJOYED WITH HAPPINESS!
SLEEPY, tell us about a time that you were SO TIRED, but just couldn't go to bed for some reason.
And DOPEY, tell us about a time that you felt really DUMB.

Snow White, Queen, Huntsman, and Prince: for Monday 6/25, come up with 10-15 words that you would use to describe your character. Be prepared to explain why you view your character as such... and feel free to look for evidence in the script (things the character says/does, or things that other characters say about them, etc.). Also, determine what your character's Life Goal is - what is his/her ultimate objective? How would he/she see him/herself in 5 years? 10 years? 25 years? Again, evidence from the script is a plus!

Again, great job last night everybody. I hope that you're all as excited about mounting this show as I am! As always, if you have any questions or would like to talk to me about anything, please feel free to call or e-mail :)

Attention creatures of Wonderland...

(This message is just for the cast of ALICE IN WONDERLAND.)

Hi everybody!

Our first rehearsal for ALICE is just one week away - hooray! I wanted a chance to talk about a few things before we all get together.

Be prepared for a rehearsal process that's a little bit different than what you might be used to. I will be giving you homework assignments (little simple things... for example, researching where the phrase "mad as a hatter" comes from... nothing gargantuan and involved like a research paper on the life of Lewis Caroll!) for you to present to the rest of us at the next rehearsal. I will be looking for input from you to help to create this show together! We might play games to help reach beyond our boundaries, and further develop our characters. We will be exploring a lot of ways to think "outside the box" in order to help create a world in which the "box" itself doesn't even exist.

Alice is a little girl who has been told her entire life what is "proper". She has been denied the freedom and bliss of childhood for so long, that her subconscious eventually embarks upon a revolution, and throws her into a world where literally anything can happen. Although this revolution takes place in the form of a dream, Alice doesn't realize this - to her, it is reality. We want the audience to join her on this journey to a sillier, wackier, zanier reality, and to experience the cornucopia of emotions that arrive with it. It will be scary at times, and thrilling at times, and hopefully will be not only funny, but also very fun! I hope that you are all as excited as I am to discover the places that the mind can take us when unfettered by restrictions, and free to fall into its own Wonderland!

At our first rehearsal, I plan on jumping right into blocking the opening number of the show. We don't have a lot of time to get the show mounted, since I only have our leading lady for the first three rehearsals! After we work a scene, please be off-book (this means lines, lyrics, blocking, and choreography!) for the next rehearsal, even if we are not planning on running it. (For example, if we have extra time on 6/26 we might run the Tea Party scene.) Being off-book at the next rehearsal will allow us to begin working in-character instead of off-the-page.

A tentative rehearsal schedule is as follows:

Thursday, June 14, 5-7
Meet/greet, discussion about the show/charaters, blocking of "Alice"
Unavailable: Connie
Called: All but Connie

Tuesday, June 19, 4-7
