Show Shoe and Sock List

For those of you who still need boots, I hear Kohl's has women's cowboy boots. 

 

Below is the list of shoes and socks for the show. If it says AND, it means you need both; (moccasins) means we are providing your moccasins; and OR means either will work. 

Everyone wearing cowboy boots needs to have socks that are comfortable with their boots. 

Please, do not purchase nude tights from Payless Shoe Source because they have a green cast and look bad on stage. 

Here is the link to the complete list.  Please direct any questions to Sabrina Hansen.  There will be printed copies at rehearsal this Friday for you as well.

Annie Get Your Gun Press Release

Below is the press release going out to media in our area.  I have attached a link to this press release below so that you can download and share with friends.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Journey Theater Arts Group Presents Irving Berlin’s Annie Get Your Gun

Vancouver, Washington.  April 23, 2013 –  Annie Oakley is the best shot around, and she manages to support her little brother and sisters by selling the game she hunts. When she's discovered by Col. Buffalo Bill, he persuades this novel sharpshooter to join his Wild West Show. It only takes one glance for her to fall head over heels for dashing shooting ace Frank Butler, who headlines the show. She soon eclipses Butler as the main attraction, which, while good for business, is bad for romance. Butler hightails it off to join a rival show, his bruised male ego leading the way, but is ultimately pitted against Annie in a final shoot-out. The rousing, sure-fire finale hits the mark every time in a testament to the power of female ingenuity.

Running time is 2 hours for public performances, 1 hour & 30 minutes for school day performances.

Performances at The Washburn Performing Arts Center, Washougal High School.  May 24 – June 2.   Fridays at 7 p.m., Saturday, May 25th at 7 p.m., Saturday, June 1st at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m.  Pre-sale Adult tickets are $12.  Youth, Senior and Group tickets are $9.  All tickets for the Saturday, May 25th performance are $9. All tickets $2 more at the door. Tickets are on sale now at wwwjourneytheater.org. 

Special performances for School Groups on Thursday, May 30th at 9:30 and 11:45 a.m. To reserve seats for your classroom or home school group, call 360.750.8550.

Seeing other Journey Shows

With lots of show overlap this session, those of us involved in Annie Get Your Gun have one Saturday, 5/18, open to us to see The Little Princess and Little Women.  It will be a full day with rehearsal that morning and a full day on Sunday as well as we move into our theater on 5/19.

I have booked my family tickets for both shows.  We are going to:
Little Women            5/18     3:00 PM
The Little Princess    5/18     7:00 PM

Little Women is in Portland and we will be booking it to get back to Vancouver for the 7:00 show of The Little Princess!

Book your tickets early as these are family day shows, which means reduced price tickets and which also means the shows will fill up!

I hope lots of you can come.  It will be great to be there together supporting our other Journey friends!

(Unfortunately, we will not be able to see Beaverton's production of Pocahontas as it runs one weekend and overlaps with our show.)

Opening Night Party Change

Instead of having people pre-order for Opening Night, families will be able to attend the party at Orchard Hills Golf Club and order off a Happy-Hour-type menu.  There is no charge to attend the party - please plan to join us and feel free to order food if you'd like!   If you've already paid for your family to attend Opening Night, you will receive a refund check from Journey."

T-Shirt Information

Our t-shirt shop let us know Friday that the brand that carries the "Sand" t-shirts in ladies sizes is not the same brand as the Youth and Adult "Sand" t-shirts - and that the "Sand" is darker in the ladies shirts.  FYI!

New Congrat Ad Due Date

The Congratulatory Ad payment due date has exteneded to our 2nd parent meeting on May 10th.  You may turn your ad and payment into the Magic Box ANY TIME between now and then.  Early is good!

Parents also can place a display ad for a special occasion, first show, last show, etc. at a discount from the prices on the program ad form.  You can contact our program chair for more information, Stuart and Nancy Vincent, ncsvincent@comcast.net. 

Make Up Training This Weekend

Cast members will have make up training this Saturday so they must bring the following items with them to rehearsal:

Stand-up mirror

Eyeliner and mascara (either brown or black is fine)

Sponge wedges (to apply makeup)

Make-up remover wipes

Headband – or something to pull hair back with

Please label all of your items items. 

This is a valuable refresher for all students, however if you have been in previous Journey shows and are experienced with make up, you do not need to participate in make up training.   

There will be some down time during this rehearsal so please bring quiet activities can help you fill this time.

Memorial Service

There will be a memorial service for Nancy Bisphop on Saturday at 1:30pm at St Joseph Catholic Church in Vancouver.  There should be an obituary which will have more information in Friday’s Columbian newspaper.

Bishop Family Update

Journey Theater Family Urgent Prayer Request:

It is with a heavy heart that I post this; we are asking you to uphold the Bishop family in prayer.
Abby Bishop is a cast member in Journey's upcoming production of A Little Princess.  Friday the Bishop family learned that Abby's mom Nancy, has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, stage 4.  The doctors are predicting a few weeks of time remaining for her.

Please pray for peace and the touch of God's spirit for the Bishop family; Richard, Nancy, and their kids Abby and Jordan. 

Meals are being organized by their neighbor,  mtghswan@hotmail.com.  Contact her via email if you would like to be a part of ministering to them.

Rehearsal Absence

The only planned absences that we can consider "excused" are those listed on the audition form.  Illness or family emergency after rehearsals begin, are also considered excused.  

Our general guidelines is, if a cast member misses a rehearsal, they will not be included in the material they missed.  With our rehearsal time constraints, re-teaching a scene or number is very difficult.

Please do let me know if unexpected opportunities/requirements come up and your child does have a conflict with rehearsal.  

Improv Show!

Improv teams from Vancouver, Vancouver East and Portland will be performing at the Improv Show Saturday, April 20th. 

 "Click here to get your tickets today!"

All cast member parents are required to attend the first parent meeting, which is also at Lifepoint Church, from 6:30 - 9:00.  Crew member parents are invited to attend, if this is your first show you will find the information very valuable!  Crew parents who do not plan on attending should check in with me (Fredia Thompson) and pick up a parent packet and coupon book.
