Prepare a monologue to perform.  It is best if the monologue is memorized, but you may read from a prompt sheet if necessary.  Be sure to rehearse the monologue by speaking it out-loud and reading through it many times before performing it.

Dress comfortably in loose fitting clothing that will allow you to move easily.  If you have long hair, please have it tied back so that it does not cover your face.

Arrive on time and be prepared to stay until the late-bus.

There will be a meeting of the LHS Drama Tech & Stage Crew this Friday 10/8 after school.  The meeting will take about 30 minutes - and then we will be doing some clean-up work backstage.  Plan to stay and help.  We will adjourn in time for the late-bus.  Bring a pair of work gloves and wear comfortable clothing that will allow for toting set pieces around.

If you cannot make this meeting let me know at least ONE day in advance because we will have to set a separate time for you to meet with us.  If I do not hear from you and you do not come to the meeting I will assume that you are no longer interested or available to be on the crew for the fall show.

Also - if you have friends that did not sign-up at auditions, but might like to come check it out, tell them to come meet with us too.

See you Friday!
