GREASE Cast List


GREASE Cast List

(All persons listed are equal parts in the "company" for this show.)

Company members, 

Congratulations to everyone! That's right, congratulate yourself AND your fellow cast members. Now the hard, but rewarding work will begin as we bring this story to the stage. It will take ALL of us working together to make it happen.

So first...

The directors assume that as you view this list, you are accepting your role. All cast members are expected to attend MANDATORY REHEARSAL on MONDAY, DECEMBER 14 at 4:00-7:00 P.M. at Lincoln HS, unless already noted on your audition sheet that you have a conflict. If so, you will be responsible for contacting the SMs with any information missed that you need to know prior to regular rehearsals starting Mon. Jan. 4.  

Second...

2. Sign up.
3. Download the app.
4. On your phone, enter this number: (503) 343-9188...

Reminders will be sent out to all "subscribers" of this "class" via remind.com for Grease announcements that are immediate. Reminders include rehearsal information, tech deadlines, call times, and more, such as school closures due to weather that may affect rehearsals or work days. Students, parents/guardians, and teachers will be a part of this group. You may not reply, only receive messages via remind.com.

READ ME 12.12.15

Based on the number of "hits", we'll know how many auditioners have checked this blog, and by implication, have read and understood the following information:

* The Lincoln policy has been that without a contract, you will not be cast. However, with so many auditioners, we will need additional time to collect actor contracts. Thus, we are moving forward with the assumption that if your contract is still missing (see separate blog post; if your name is missing, your contract is missing), the casting will be temporary with full belief that parent/guardian/important adult permission has been granted until such time that it's not.

* Contracts will be collected at the MANDATORY rehearsal on MON. DEC. 14, 2015. Get them signed now. Bring them Monday.

* All students MUST be passing all classes. If you are not passing, you will email your respective site's theatre teacher (Jim--Lincoln; Jo--Roosevelt) with your plan by Monday, December 14.

* Many individuals will be cast, but some will not for a variety of reasons. Also, we may make some casting adjustments during the rehearsal process as needed for a variety of reasons. No, you will not be privy to those reasons for someone else nor do guessing/rumors make for "saving the drama for the stage". Understand that as the directors, it is part of our professional work to make the best choices we can.

* Understand that with two different schools and directors, we are doing our best to merge two sets of policies about productions into one co-production. Sometimes we will make mistakes, too, and will do our best to correct them.

* We all need patience and understanding as we come together for the love of theatre and being with "our people" in a safe space where we take risks, challenge ourselves to be our best, and get out of our comfort zones.

Thank you for auditioning! Casting is almost complete and will be posted Sunday. We are ALL excited about this co-production coming together in the next several months of hard work and dedication. That said, it will take both hard work and dedication, as well as concentrated cooperation on all of our parts to make it happen. We look forward to working on this show together!
