REHEARSALS
Sunday, 1/24, 8-10, fitness center
Wednesday, 1/27, 10-12, fitness center
Friday, 1/29, 7-???, BBOX
Got it? Be there.
Bring your costumes, props, anything you need to practice your act. The rehearsal on Friday is a FULL DRESS REHEARSAL. I would suggest coming in a little earlier than 7PM so that we can be ready to start ASAP.
ALSO! On Sunday, please bring your music on a flash drive or CD so I can compile them on my computer into one playlist for Kel.
Also, if you have any SPECIFIC lighting cues you need (ie, a black out or spotlight), be prepared to specify those cues to Kel on Friday.

Gold Diggers of 1933
Gold Diggers of 1933 is playing tonight at 7:00pm and Thursday at 9:00pm at the Charles.
If anyone would like to go on Thursday, let me know!
A synopsis from the Charles Theater website: Second of the archetypal backstage musicals from Warners (it followed hard on the success of 42nd Street) which established the idiosyncratic geometrics of Busby Berkeley. Some semblance of a plot (songwriter Powell turns against his wealthy parents in wishing to marry chorus girl Keeler), and much Depression wisecracking from Blondell, MacMahon and Rogers; but most notable is the vulgar, absurd and wonderfully surreal Berkeley choreography. Great numbers: Ginger Rogers adorned in dollars singing 'We're in the Money'; young lovers interrupted by rain while 'Pettin' in the Park'; and on a strangely bleak note, the files of unemployed ex-servicemen during 'Remember My Forgotten Man'. Delirious and delightful.

orchid mei
A really great example of neo burlesque in the classic style. I loved how she used her clothing as props like Trixie suggested, extending what could be a very boring and clichéd evening gown strip to something very titallating. Just wanted to share with y'all.

YAY A SOUND PERSON
We got our fabulous old military burlesque friend Ingrid Schindall to run our sound for us!! Yay!! Now we just need someone to run spotlight!
Which reminds me -- if you have any special stage needs for your act, make sure you have that figured out by dress rehearsal so we can submit a list of cues for Kel. Spotlights, dimmed lights, blackouts (tiff's constellation act?), placement of curtains, etc.
