Pictures




I had a couple of moms take some pictures with my camera last night, and I thought I'd share.  You can click on the slideshow to be taken to a web album where you are welcome to download any picture you like.  I won't claim that they're super high quality, but hey - they're pictures.



If you also took pictures and would like to share, let me know!  One of the easiest ways is by uploading to a Picasa* web album and then emailing me the link.  If you do go that route, please be sure to upload at the original size so we can all enjoy the pictures in their best quality.

*Picasa is a free program by Google, and it's great for organizing and editing photos and has super easy features for blogging, printing, uploading, and sharing.  If you're a picture person and you aren't using it, you should be!

Rehearsal Video

Warning: watching these clips may cause dizziness or headaches, since I apparently do not have a steady hand!  The sound isn't great (the camera just hears what I hear, and since the accoustics of the room are awful... well, you get the picture), but hopefully you'll be able to watch your faces and bodies to see how much you either are or aren't acting.  Enjoy watching these clips, and try to pick out one or two things you can improve on (plus at least 8 or 9 you're awesome at).

By the way, they are in alphabetical order (still missing Sing a Christmas Carol... check back for that one):

Costumes: Looking Ahead

Looking ahead to costume day (Monday), here's what you will need to bring for yourself:

Shoes: You will need to provide your own shoes which should be something along the lines of a dress shoe or boot, keeping in mind whether you are playing a child or an adult, a boy or a girl, etc.  No tennis shoes and nothing too modern.








Socks: Please plan to wear socks or hosiery which will not distract from your costume.  Blacks and browns will generally work best.

Coats: If you want to wear a coat between buildings, it will have to be a dress coat or an overcoat (not a parka, jacket, hoodie, etc) and it will need to be in Dickens-appropriate neutral colors.  Please plan accordingly.

Specific questions and items will be addressed at your costume meeting on Monday.
