Feb. 28th, 2011 08:12 pmJust a reminder to everyone that we hope to finish blocking Act II Scene 3 tomorrow - that means everyone is expected to be there.
We appreciate your patience on these big scenes. I know they're complicated but they'll really look amazing once it's all done.
If everyone remembers their parts, that is. And please respect each other and don't upstage when it's not your action.
And the sooner you can all memorise your lines, the better.

Scheduling
Jan. 30th, 2011 06:35 pmJust a reminder to everyone in the play: You don't need to come to rehearsal if we're not working on a scene that you're in. That means this coming Tuesday, we only require the portraits, the owl, and Pearson.
Thursday's rehearsal will be Scene 4. We'll need everyone on Sunday, of course, as you're all in the final scene of Act I.
I'm still looking for a willing volunteer to be ASM. But we were glad to welcome a few more young wizards into our company on Sunday. I guess we owe Master Gibbon our gratitude for helping there and encouraging the Sons of Wizardry to come forward as a group.

A Few Changes to the Cast
Jan. 26th, 2011 11:24 amHello, again!
I really only want to update the cast of Liberation, but this is the quickest way to get a message to all of you.
First up, again, thanks and my apologies for leaving out Dean Thomas (Y3) from the original cast list. As you all learned on Sunday, he's agreed to undertake the role of Mr Dolohov.
Next, I think we've approached everyone we had on our list to act as an understudy. Please remember, if you've agreed to understudy, it's your responsibility to keep track of the blocking (i.e., movement) for that character (as well as your own), and to be working on the lines in case you're needed. We certainly don't want to lose our fine cast members, but we don't want you to be caught out short, either, if you're called to serve. For those of you who have been assigned understudies, we expect you to help them out. It's not a comment on your ability or our confidence in you; it's merely a precaution since your roles are so pivotal that they can't be replaced at a moment's notice.
Which brings me to my next announcement. As I said, we don't want to lose people, but it's bound to happen: a few students have already left the cast. Vesta Chambers, Elizabeth Stevens and Octavia Anderson have all decided to drop out for personal reasons. As there are so few boys already participating, we really wanted to bring up one of the lads from the Wizengamot chorus to play Vesta's part, so I hope you'll all welcome and congratulate Mr Linus Moon, who will now be our Mr Selwyn!
Finally, as I mentioned on Sunday, we really could use a few more wizards in the Wizengamot - especially with Moon moving up. First- through third-year YPL boys, I'm looking at you in particular! I know you've heard the rumours about wearing makeup, but it's not like that at all. All actors wear some to be seen under the lights. There's no truth whatsoever to the idea that men who are theatrical are all, erm, effeminate. Please consider joining this effort and supporting your fellow YPL members in the project!
On a Prefect note: Whoever jinxed Mr Corner yesterday, you're not helping.
