Hello Ready, Steady, ACT! team. I understand from the messages I have received and blogs I have read that most of you have had an active and valuable rehearsal time during the break. This is great! It is also nice to read comments from team members like Kim who is not on the acting team expressing such strong support for the actors - I encourage you all to keep on top of your blogs and to read each other’s work as there is a wealth of valuable information and feedback there.

This is an important week as we are practically mid-way through the “Production Planning” stage and it is time for another important FOLIO AUDIT! However, in light of the need to use our class time well, we will do it differently this time. I would like you all to make appointments with me in your own time to have your audit meeting. It would be a good idea to use the scheduled tutorial times as a starting point.

I have deliberately left you alone over the holidays (which was not easy!), partly due to my need to take a break after the musical, but also, to let you guys run the show without me looking over your shoulder for a little while. However, that time is now over. My intention this week is to see all that you have done, and I promise you - I will make changes if I think they are necessary. While I am sure our energetic director Scott has done an outstanding job, you all are reminded that, as your teacher and producer, I hold the right to have the final say on any and all issues regarding this production. I’m sure this will not present any problems - as you know, I am here to help and to enable you all to do your very best work.

So, prepare yourselves, prepare your folio materials (which should, by now, be quite substantial) and I will see you soon. Oh… thanks to the TWO students who managed to send me a trial play analysis - well done!
