As always, QUIET BACKSTAGE AND IN THE GREEN ROOM. Noise travels very far in this theatre so please practice quiet.

NO CELL PHONES IN THE WINGS OR ON STAGE! One of the producers heard a cell phone going off in the wings during the rehearsal last night. Please leave them in the dressing rooms or they will go over the rail into the icy Atlantic waters!

Please don't leave things on the PROP TABLES or SET PIECES. The stage manager will dispose of them.

Please change out of costume before entering into the house and lobby after the show. Let's keep the magic of the show on stage. If someone is picking you up after the show, please have them meet you in the lobby or green room.

TITANIC Week Eight Review

Greetings everyone,

We are beginning Week Eight of TITANIC rehearsals and it is ACTS WEEK.

Monday 26-Act One
Tuesday 27-Act Two
Wednesday 28-Act One/Paper Tech
Thursday 29-Act Two/Paper Tech
Each night we start at 7pm.

Cutaway ad of the
TITANIC

**Tuesday the 27th, the costumers have asked for the men in the show to make an appearance at the warehouse between 6pm and 7pm for costume fittings.

**Wed and Thur we will be paper teching the show-so we will probably have stops and starts for the tech crew to write cues.

**This week, the producers have asked to take some additional publicity photos.  Please come prepared to be put in costume if we ask so we can take some additional photos.  

**We have NINE more rehearsals before opening night.  All the pieces are there and just waiting to be stitched together.   Rehearsals may get slightly longer this week as we put everything in place.  How much longer each night depends on our ability as a cast to focus and stay focused.

Lord Pirre (Harland & Wolff) and
Captain E.J. Smith

**For the youth/children in the show - this is an adult show with a lot of people and a lot of props, set pieces and more. Please be aware that the stage and backstage is not a playground.  Please do not pick up and play with items; please pay attention to your cues; if you are asked to move out of the way, please do so.   This is your chance to show the older actors you have the maturity to be part of a large, ensemble production.   We are happy you are here.

**The school shows are Thursday April 12th at 9:00am and 12:30pm.   We will have a rehearsal on Wed. April 11th to go over the school show program.   Please see our stage manager Breanne if you CANNOT do the school shows.   If you do not see Bre, we will be assuming you are available for the school shows!

**Everyone has done a fantastic job over the last seven weeks.   I am extremely pleased and happy with our progress as a cast/crew.   It can only get better through our continued hard work and commitment.


See you Monday at rehearsal

A message from the Composer/Lyricist of TITANIC

Received today, a message from Maury Yeston, the Composer/Lyricist of TITANIC, to share with our cast and crew!

 

Dear Barrow Civic Theatre,

 

How fantastic that you are willing to take on as challenging and daunting a presentation as Titanic!  I want to thank all of the cast, crew, musicians, stagehands, lighting and sound-people, director, choreographer, and designers for what I know will be a massive undertaking and a superb performance due to all of your efforts and talents. I am so grateful that you have chosen to invest your combined energy in the performance of my work, and I am quite sure you will be more than up to the task. I know that the beauty and love of music within each of you will radiate from your stage.

 

I wish you a thrilling and successful production.

 

SAIL ON!

TITANIC UPDATES

Hello cast,
We have a schedule update for Tue. Feb 14.   We will NOT be scheduling Andrews, Ismay and Captain at 7pm.   We will be scheduling Etches from 7pm-7:25pm instead.

Welcome to Natt Licht who joins our cast as Frederick Fleet, the lookout.

Don't forget your bios are DUE March 15 to Davin.  Email is preferred.   Let me just say (from experience) DON'T WAIT TO THE LAST MINUTE please.   Your producer will be much happier and you can save yourself a lot of hounding.

Video here is a little gem from YouTube showing some historical footage of TITANIC in the outfitting docks at Harland & Wolff Shipyards in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
