...but don't have time to commit to a fully-fledged production?

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

Last 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 on the weekend of Friday, January 28th, most likely on that Friday.

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.  The set list will go out on Sunday and rehearsals will begin this coming week!

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.
