A new version of the script was sent out last night, as well as two rehearsal tracks.

There will be at least one more rehearsal track sent by the end of the week. It is important to note that only the people who are actually singing solos in the tracks are getting them at this point as the chorus parts are too complicated for me to sing on my own until I hammer them out completely. However, I do have a list of the numbers the chorus will not be in:

Introduction
Orpheus's Song (Act 1 & 2)
Star-Crossed
Lampost Song

This list is subject to change.

You should all get at least one more script rewrite (with minor changes) by the end of the break.

Merry Day After December 25th!

The script work is going well, I've already made changes to the version the cast currently has. So, if you're in the cast and you haven't read the old version, or you don't have the old version, please, please, please email me as soon as possible in order to get it. It is imperative that you read the script before winter break is over so that you can be as familiar with it as possible by the time we start music.

As for the backing tracks: I have three of the major ones finished. (Finished enough for the soloists involved)

Edits continue, writing continues, Happy Holidays!

The script has finished and I am now taking a second pass at it after sending the first draft to the cast and some of the crew. If you haven't gotten your copy yet, please email me immediately. The updated version will be going out in about a week once I've finished making edits to the number of appearences of Penny, Polly, and Peggy (increased), and many of Megara and Persephone's scenes (also increased). Cassandra and Tireseus will (hopefully) have more interludes. Also, I'll be adding and deleting any lines that I dislike or I feel like don't fit the current plot (as there are many. Those of you who have read through it know what I'm talking about.)

We are still looking for a Set Designer and Master Electrician. If you can serve in either of these capacities, please notify me at once via comments.

The backing tracks are not coming along as well as I would have hoped. I will most likely not be able to send out but 3 of them over winter break. Sorry, guys! I will do my best to get more headway done, but there just isn't the right equipment here at home to record what I need to be recorded. I may try to make a poor-man's rehearsal tape using a tapedeck and then slaving it to a cd burner, but that's only if I have the time.

On a side note, we have a date for the show: mark your calendars for May 10th, 11th, and 12th at the '92 Theater at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticuit!
