We need at least 12 shirts ordered to ensure the price does not go up. Deadline to order a t-shirt is Friday, June 24th. The sign-up sheet will be at rehearsals. Cash or check please (checks made out to Georgetown Palace) and give that moola to Maria since she is the collector of t-shirt money.

CAST:

Definitely a busy night for sure with both vocals and choreography!! Men - you all are working hard and doing a great job!! Make sure and watch those practice videos and reinforce the choreography Vincent has spent so much time preparing for you all! All that practice will pay off.

Reminder: Delee needs to bond with "Hula" as much as possible to keep the shimmy shining! Remember to lift up, don't sink.

Vocals - Although I was not with you all the whole time, what I heard sounded good!! Keep reviewing and research the notes provided by Lannie and Austin to help you make it event better!!

The practice videos are also now uploaded in the cast folder on Box. We will not see these numbers again for Choreography until June 18th so please make sure and review, practice and solidify the sequence of your numbers learned to date.

BIOS/HEADSHOTS WILL BE DUE NO LATER THAN WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22nd. Please send those to Jessie via email at jessie@georgetownpalace.com. If you do not get these in by the due date, we will be forced to make up something about you similar to the one for Ron below. Don't be a Captain Underpants! :-)

SET:

Modifications to set needed:

Would it be possible to create braces for the Shimmy table so looks more like pedestal bottom but braces flare out to table edges rather than column-like? Kind of like the rudimentary figure below but with another "X" added and more curve with the bottom portion of those braces. Stefanie does not jump on the table, she will be standing and shimmy-ing mostly.
