Director Assignments

Hi Kids!
I'm so excited! Just two days till your first rehearsal at the United Methodist Church in Skaneateles at 12:30! Woo Hoo!

Krystal Scott katmarie211(at)gmail(dot)com is our Youth Wrangler and will be taking care of our youths! She is performing in the show Bat Boy at the Redhouse in Syracuse on Saturday! Brian Goldblatt will cover her for this paperwork Saturday. Please remember to bring in your agreement/consent sheets filled out and signed by your parents.

Brian Goldblatt goldbrian05(at)gmail(dot)com If you cannot be at a rehearsal or performance please direct that info to Brian who will be our attendance/absence wrangler! There will be sign-in sheets everyday for attendance!

Kristen Baskewicz nygirl_22(at)hotmail(dot)com is our caroler wrangler. She will be organizing you into the caroling groups and making the schedule and setlists. She also oversees the Revels so if you want to lead a particular song let Kristen know!

Tracey Greene tracey(at)kyndergarb(dot)com wrangles our costumes. If you have costume wishes or issues please let her know. You might not realize that material and color choices are not random, so if you wish to build your own costume, which is awesome, please check in with Tracey regarding patterns and color choices first! We can't have the Master dressed the same as the apprentice!

Maria Wechsler warriorgirlprincess13108(at)yahoo(dot)com is our Artistic Director. It is her vision that forms our Dickens 1842 world! She will help you build your character into a fully formed entity that fits in with all the other entities that make up Dickens' Christmas! Talk to her about character choices.

Jim Greene jimgreene(at)scarlettrat(dot)com is your Producing Director. That gives me final veto privilege over everything. My job really is to surround myself with very talented people, let them do their jobs, then take all the credit! I love my job!

We are in the process of forming a professional caroling group within our Dickens family. These carolers will be available for hire independently of Dickens. They will have additional rehearsals and will be required to learn a separate songbook but will have the opportunity to book some gigs. We are still working out the logistics of this whole thing, but if you are interested in singing professionally please let Kristen know.

There you go! I will post this on our blogspot, http://dickenscastcentral.blogspot.com/ as I do all of the Director Notes. Please remember if you are posting something there to alter email addresses and phone numbers by spelling out some of the info so web crawlers cannot collect that info and send spam. Like this: jimgreene(at)scarlettrat(dot)com, (six)07-423-1(four)77 is how to put my email address and phone in the blog.

Go out there and have a blast! Remember, today is a gift! That's why we call it the present!
xoxo
Jim
