From: John McC<br />
<br />
There is no question in my mind that one of the top highlights of the 2009 holiday season will be the joy of watching your "A Christmas Carol" grow from a timid, rough read-through in the BCT Lobby to the five beautiful, polished performances on the BCT main stage. You had a classic story to tell and tell it you did - wonderfully. Dickens would have been proud.<br />
<br />
Thank you again for the beautiful book. It is so special. And thank you for including me in your holiday season. May your holidays be blessed and bright. "God Bless Us, Every One!" Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!Barrow-Civic Theatrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14946853070320708258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3948005696268917619.post-72403281153405476922009-12-12T17:20:00.001-05:002009-12-12T17:22:06.492-05:00Photos, etc...To: "Carol" Cast and Crew<br />

<br />
May I share a couple of thoughts.....<br />
Please be sure you all let people know you are in the show <strong>AND be sure you let them know you would really appreciate them being there</strong>...sometimes we forget that part...sometimes we may casually mention that we are doing a show and we stop there...don't forget to tell our family, friends, and coworkers that you would like them to be in attendence to enjoy your project...that it is a good show...lots of talent...it's very "holiday"...it's not long...you have spent a lot of time on this...you want to share this experience...it is a classic...it is family friendly (although have them remind young kids that the spirits/ghosts are only pretend)...it is LIVE - ON STAGE...it is good to support Franklin Civic Operetta Association and their Barrow-Civic Theatre...ticket prices are very reasonable...neat costumes...cute kids...beautiful adults --- whatever it takes to drum up ticket sales and to get yourself a well deserved audience...maybe this is your first show - maybe your last...share your excitement over having line(s) for the first time --- again, <strong>you</strong> deserve a good audience - work at it - get it...some people just come to the theater - that's nice - but the fact remains that <strong>most </strong>people come because they know someone in the production...(we'll talk later)Barrow-Civic Theatrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14946853070320708258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3948005696268917619.post-44724934791831599702009-12-02T05:03:00.000-05:002009-12-02T05:03:31.590-05:00Final Rehearsals...To: "Carol" Cast and Crew<br />
From: John McC<br />
<br />
Here we are with only two more rehearsals...show is looking great...Bravo! to Cathy and her costume crew...Judy's props are looking good...Ed is working his magic...and how about our first time stage manager, Linda - Bravo!...Ted's program looks super...EVERYONE is stepping up to the plate and doing a super job...Bravo! to all...<br />
<br />
Tonight (Wednesday) we will again try to start as close to 7:00pm as possible...yes, costumes...no, makeup...I understand they will be playing with hair...Everyone bring your holiday smiles and big projection...Steve West will be taking a lot of pictures tonight...he does the WestPA Magazine...<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is the final rehearsal...treat it like an all-out performance...we will have a few people in the audience - the volunteer crew that usher, etc...here at the Barrow...(more later)<br />
<br />
I am very pleased - very pleased...there's a ways to go yet, but I am so confident that you all will get us there...Barrow-Civic Theatrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14946853070320708258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3948005696268917619.post-41248766447050197532009-11-24T23:19:00.000-05:002009-11-24T23:19:38.725-05:00Happy ThanksgivingTo: Cast and Crew<br />

Enjoyed rehearsal tonight...so much just seemed to fall in place tonight...it allowed me to make some nice changes/improvements/tweeking...a big thank you to everyone for your time and hard work...Barrow-Civic Theatrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14946853070320708258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3948005696268917619.post-78514508004022333292009-11-22T16:58:00.000-05:002009-11-22T16:58:58.582-05:00Two Rehearsals This WeekTo: "Carol" Cast and Crew<br />
From: John McC<br />
<br />
Well, first of all, a huge "thank you" to all who were able to ride the float last night...when the flot went past our judges platform I was very proud...I was very proud of you all and of the Theatre and of the show...the float looked great!!!...but most importantly, it did exactly what it needed to do - it served as super advertising...thousands of people saw and heard of the upcoming performances of "A Christmas Carol"...hopefully the phone will ring of the hook tomorrow...<br />
<br />
As you are talking up the show, try to push the first weekend...the theory behind doing two weekends of shows is to get people there the first weekend so they go out and tell people about it and then those people come see the show the second weekend...it is a theory - sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't...tell folks that there are special activities in the Little Theatre on opening night - music by Allegheny Sounds, a Wassail Bowl, and "munchies"...<br />
<br />
TWO rehearsals this week - Monday and Tuesday...if all goes well, we might just run the show twice each night...NO BOOKS ON STAGE, please...if you have costume business, etc...please come a few minutes early to take care of those duties so we can get a start on time...Barrow-Civic Theatrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14946853070320708258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3948005696268917619.post-36775556419779088572009-11-20T10:02:00.001-05:002009-11-20T10:04:40.734-05:00Just Announced:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />

From: John<br />
<br />
There are lots of things to do tonight...first and foremost, we need to run the show in sequence...by doing so we get a sense of "a show" - a sense of "a story"...sequence is especially important to our Scrooge...he has a lot of lines and a lot of time on stage (never off)...he needs to feel the "flow"...<br />
<br />
We should be adding the narrator tonight...aka - Charles Dickens...this will be fun...<br />
<br />
I will need a few minutes to talk to the "crowd"...we need to find our little groups again...use more of the stage...be creative with "business"...<br />
<br />
We will want to have the Cratchits use a real table and chairs...I think that will help make a little more sense of what is going on there...<br />
<br />
Everyone needs to be out-of-book as much a possible (did everyone notice Scrooge did a wonderful job off-book on Monday - yeah, Al!!!)...also, lots and lots of projection of voices and faces - out to the audience...(by the way, everybody selling tickets?)<br />
<br />
I could go on and on...the important thing here is that there is a rehearsal tonight...see you then...<br />
<br />
PS...have you noticed a little excitement brewing in town?...I think a holiday is in the brew and I think there is a show being produced about this holiday...come, stir the brew...Barrow-Civic Theatrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14946853070320708258noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3948005696268917619.post-30442312046098811752009-11-17T23:10:00.000-05:002009-11-17T23:10:31.754-05:00Fine Arts Council RaffleTo: Cast and Crew<br />

1. You are right...no rehearsal tonight (Monday - 11/9)...Go Steelers!!!!...tomorrow night (Tuesday - 11/10) is all the scenes with the Ghost of Christmas Present...this includes everyone in those scenes but NOT the London "crowd"<br />
<br />
2. I went to see Disney's "A Christmas Carol"...very Disney...over all, not bad...can't say that it is my favorite...really liked: the costumes, "crowd" pieces of business, music, Marley's ghost, and ghost of Christmas Future...would have liked it better in 3-D...I thought it was too scary for kids...<br />

Thank you to the "crowd" folks last night...we went through their scenes...the costume people were able to talk to and measure all those they needed...a lot of little stuff got taken care of in addition to their scenes...<br />
<br />
The production meeting was "productive" - as it should be...again, a lot of little stuff got taken care of...<br />
<br />
There are only two rehearsals next week! (Monday is off for the benefit of all the Steeler fans...specifically Scrooge and me)<br />
<br />
