Costume fitting schedule April 7
Part 1: need parent help for fitting day- please reply to Ileane Olson, ifolson@comcast.net if you can help
Dear WOZ Parents,
Our costume fitting day will be Saturday, April 7th from 9:00am to 4:00pm. Please come to the Flex Room at CSTC Studios at Koko Plaza.
This is a large undertaking with many costume changes for most of the actors. We are counting on several of the WOZ mom’s whom will be able to work one of the 2 shifts (or both if you are so inclined) that day. It is a lot of fun, the actors are always excited to see their costumes, and you get to be there to share in their excitement and joy.
We will need 2 moms from 9-12:30pm
to help with labeling the costumes, hanging them up behind a divider with the actor’s name, keeping the fitting room somewhat tidy, help pin costumes for simple adjustments such as hems, and helping at 12:15 to teach the next shift of mom’s what you have been doing so they are ready to go at 12:30pm.
We will need 2 moms from 12:15-4pm
to help with labeling the costumes, hanging them up behind a divider with the actor’s name, keeping the fitting room somewhat tidy, help pin costumes for simple adjustments such as hems, and help our costumer Chris carry the costumes back to her car.
We will need 1 mom from9-12;30pm
who can help sew simple alterations ( please bring a sewing machine if you have one)

Final schedule sent by email
Hi Wozians! Hope you are refreshed from Spring Break!
Below and attached is our schedule for our final few weeks. This depends on you working at home to brush up on music, dancing and lines! Otherwise we may need to squeeze in some more rehearsal time. This is the fun part, though, where we add costumes, set pieces and really start seeing the show come to life!
Clarification - For Tuesday 4/3 - Kathe (choreographer) requested that our Ruby cast dancers in Merry Old Land of Oz ( just the 8 girls in the dance break) come to the Emerald Cast rehearsal so that she can work with both pairs of dancers together. If there is any confusion about who this pertains to - please contact Jeanie.
Please check the schedule carefully as times have been added for our tech rehearsal days on Saturday, April 14 and Sunday April 15.
Thanks for everyone’s hard work!

Dear Wozians and Families:
Oh spring is in the air, and we’re all ready for a break, but still some opportunities to get together this weekend and next week!

Dear WoZ parents and Cast,
Hope you had a lovely Valentine’s Day!

A reminder that tomorrow 2/16 (Friday) night’s rehearsal is for Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tinman, All Apple Trees and All Crows.
Sunday’s rehearsal has been fine tuned slightly so that some actors don’t need to stay through all of the “All” section.
2/18: 2p - 330 Poppies. Optimistic Voices, Snow, Glinda, Witch
330-430 ALL OZIANS (this includes most of the cast), Dorothy, Lion, Scarecrow, Tinman, Guard
430-6p ALL Jitterbugs, Ghosts, Dorothy, Lion, Scarecrow, Tinman, Guard
The change is that actors who are NOT in the Jitterbug number will be able to leave at 430pm.
Please email me if you have questions about this.
Speaking of Jitterbug, here are some new reference videos from last week’s rehearsal. If your actor is in this number please have them review before Sunday’s rehearsal.

Dear WoZ parents and Cast,
Hope you had a lovely Valentine’s Day!
A contact list was sent via email so that you will have other parents’ emails for either carpooling or “opposite” coverage.
A reminder that tomorrow 2/16 (Friday) night’s rehearsal is for Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tinman, All Apple Trees and All Crows.
Sunday’s rehearsal has been fine tuned slightly so that some actors don’t need to stay through all of the “All” section.
2/18: 2p - 330 Poppies. Optimistic Voices, Snow, Glinda, Witch
330-430 ALL OZIANS (this includes most of the cast), Dorothy, Lion, Scarecrow, Tinman, Guard
430-6p ALL Jitterbugs, Ghosts, Dorothy, Lion, Scarecrow, Tinman, Guard
The change is that actors who are NOT in the Jitterbug number will be able to leave at 430pm.

Hello everyone!
Just a reminder that Monday's rehearsal is for ALL Ruby Cast members and Tuesday's rehearsal is for ALL Emerald Cast members. We will be starting to string scenes in Act 1 together. This will help to build continuity for the show and its dramatic action. Thanks for all the hard work and support so far!

Choreography is in motion!
To help your actor practice at home, we are taking videos of choreography and posting to Youtube.
Please take a moment to check out the links here and facilitate a way for your actor to practice. A little practice and review before Sunday's rehearsal would be good!
Stay warm!

Greetings WoZ parents,
We have gotten a lot done already. Lots of good work to build from.
Monday’s rehearsal (430-630) is only for Ruby cast members who are Munchkins (any kind), Glinda, Dorothy and the Witch
Tuesday’s rehearsal (430-630) is only for Emerald cast members who are Munchkins (any kind), Glinda, Dorothy and the Witch.
Actors will only be attending either Monday’s or Tuesday’s rehearsal and some parts aren’t called at all. We will be starting the Munchkinland sequence and only want to work with one cast at a time.
Get to know your actor’s “Opposite”. We talked a little at rehearsal that each cast member has an exact opposite in the other cast who has the same role and generally should have the same blocking. These are built in “understudys” in case your actor is sick or has a conflict. As we begin to work at some rehearsals with only one cast - if you know your actor will be unavailable for that rehearsal we ask that you reach out to your child’s opposite and see if they can fill in. We realize they may not always be free to fill in, but when it works this really is a big help because then we have a complete cast to rehearse with. I will start sending out emails to each actor’s parent and the parent of the “opposite” so that you’ll have contact info. As always if you know your actor will unexpectedly not be at rehearsal please email or text me (jeanie_balch@comcast.net 720-320-6692) and try to reach out to the “opposite.”.
Don’t hesitate to email if you have questions.
This email will also be on the blog: https://wozcenterstage.blogspot.com/
Thanks!
