CREW
​

A big giant thank you and congratulations to everyone who auditioned and applied for positions for Emma, A Pop Musical!!

Please remember that we couldn't take everyone, but that your hard work and willingness to put yourself out there does not go unnoticed at all.  Not everyone was as brave as you were to get out there and try.

For those of you not cast or chosen for a tech position...don't be disheartened.  It can be disappointing, but this is not a measurement of your worth or ability.

For those of you who were cast or chosen for a tech position, you have a lot of work ahead of you, and it is NOT going to be easy.  You will loaded into Google Classroom tonight, and tomorrow an update will happen on VSM.

We will have a full company meeting through Zoom very soon, and as soon as Leadership meets (director, SM, and ASM's) we will coordinate that and post the info on Classroom.

Congratulations.

Hello Everyone!
Thank you so much for submitting an audition for Emma, A Pop Musical!  This is a new and weird way of casting a show, so just bear with us.

First of all, PLEASE understand that we cannot cast everyone.  It is no slight on you, but it may just not be the show for you, and that's ok.

Second, also understand that if you didn't get a callback, that doesn't necessarily mean that you are not getting a role.  So, check the casting tomorrow night for the final results.

If you are a BOY...guess what?  There ARE NO CALLBACKS!! What does that mean?  It means that you should just check the cast list tomorrow night.

That leads us to the girls.  Here is how this is going to work.  If your name is listed below, you will need to submit a second song.  You will have 3 to choose from.  Choose the one that you feel you can WAIL!  Then, play the song on an earbud of some sort (listening to the track listed below) and film yourself singing it.  Each video has lyrics, so that will help you sing along with it.  Submit the video through the link at the very bottom of this page by 4pm tomorrow (Thursday, January 7th)

People who need to sing again:
Isnerys Carrisquillo
Madison Gulmatico
Kaylin Hurley
Lizzy Legere
Sophie Littig
Alex Magana
Alyssa Manzanares
Tori Peterson
Brooke Singleton
Kendal Villa

Here are your song choices (click on the title for video):
How Will I Know - sing from the beginning to 1:04
​Brave - sing from 0:17-0:57
​Turn the Beat Around - sing from 0:22-1:08
PICK ONE OF THESE!!  Don't forget to SELL it!  
Once you've recorded this, submit it HERE
​

Thank you to everyone who auditioned and applied to work on our two One-Acts (Help Desk and Homeschooled) that will be creating our Behind the Computer Curtain livestream!  Please check your VSM account to see your rehearsal schedules.  Crew, I will be in touch with you about your schedules.

Also, please check the cast lists.  Your name may be listed more than once.

CONGRATULATIONS!! I can't wait to start working on this show!

“Behind the Computer Curtain” Callback Breakdown
Hi Everyone!
Thank you so much for your time and effort today.  I’ve never done Zoom auditions like this, and other than some technical hiccups, you all showed such professionalism and grace, and I’m so honored that you came out to audition.

Before you read on, please understand the following:
-I may not be able to cast everyone.  If you are not cast, PLEASE don’t be disheartened.  We had a really large turnout.
-Please also understand that I do not answer parent/guardian emails about casting choices.  I would rather have the conversation with you (the student) in person, since this is about YOUR audition.
-Starting next week, I am happy to give you your feedback notes on your audition performance. Since this is educational theatre, it’s important for you to take advantage of this opportunity to learn what other people see when you are auditioning.

Now….for callbacks.  READ CAREFULLY.  
Below, you will find your name if you are being called back, who you are being paired with, the script, character and page numbers you will be reading.  You will see the time you are going to be working with me on Zoom.  Below is the Zoom link (it’s our regular class Zoom link).

​Join Zoom Meeting
https://losal-org.zoom.us/j/92910879602?pwd=OUUzZFV0ZEFUS2lZNzc4Q3AxcU1LQT09


Meeting ID: 929 1087 9602
Passcode: 474243


​Look in Google Classroom and find the script for your callback.  Either print those pages, or make sure that you have access to it on a device for the callback.  You are not necessarily being looked at for the exact role you’re reading for in the callback, but I want to see what you can do.


You are NOT expected to have memorized these lines for tomorrow.

I am looking for BIG, BOLD character choices.  These plays are both farces, so the characters are big and broad.  I want to see you have so much fun.  Bring your energy, your volume, and your enthusiasm. And, if you are assigned to read a character in the opposite gender, feel free to change the pronouns and other markers.
