Like musical theatre, but don't have the time to commit to a fully-fledged production?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sign up for the next "Hey, Let's Make Musicals...in the summer!" Cabaret!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the Spring, the Harlequins began the "Hey, Let's Make Musicals" Cabarets.  The objective: to allow Dartmouth students to gain experience acting in, directing, and seeing musical theatre in a non-traditional way and with an extremely low time commitment.

The only stipulations are that I would like to see as much variety as possible (i.e. not all solos, or not all songs from Wicked) and everything that is performed must be from a musical or written by a musical theatre composer.

Our next cabaret will be the weekend of Friday, August 13th, but it may be Thursday, Friday, or Saturday depending on scheduling.

There are no official auditions, but if I (Amber Dewey '12) haven't heard you sing, I might ask you to sing a song informally so I can be more helpful in giving song suggestions.

THE PLAN:
----------------

Reply to this blitz to sign up as either an ACTOR, a DIRECTOR, or a PIANIST.

ACTORS:
- You may sign up either alone or with others.  You can either decide on your own what song to sing or you can let me choose for you.
- If you sign up as an actor you may also direct another scene/song
- If you want to direct your own song you can, though it is discouraged.
- Please indicate in your blitz whether you would only like to be in one song or whether you have time to be in more.

DIRECTORS:
- You may sign up either with a song/scene in mind or let me help you find one.
- You may do either a short scene leading into a song or just a song
- You may sign up either with actors in mind or I can help you find actors to do the song/scene you have in mind.
- You may direct more than one song in each show if your schedule will allow it.

PIANISTS:
- You may play (or be asked to play) as many songs as you can. I hope to have more than one pianist for each show so no one has to learn all the music.
- You should be able to rehearse at least once with each group that you are playing for.
