If you want to go on Tues (first day back) please email us right away.
If skits are not ready they can and will still be cut...keep working on your own...think of it as a friendly competition between skits for which one will be considered the best!

2) Most of you are probably concerned with the Full cast on the 13th. This is a potential date only, depending upon how much work we accomplish this upcoming saturday.

Theatre Revue 2007

Congratulations to everyone who auditioned a skit for Theatre Revue. All of the auditions were wonderful and you each deserve praise. Nonetheless, the exec board has spent 6 grueling hours filled with arguing, fisticuffs, and one or two broken knuckles creating what we feel is the best show. Below are the skits that we chose. Remember: no one is cut from Theatre Revue. There are still 4 full cast numbers (and 42nd Street) that anyone can be a part of. Again, thank you all for auditioning and Congratulations.

Act I
Opening: A New World
My New Philosophy
King of the World **
In Whatever Time We Have
Spelling Bee **
Easy as Life
42nd Street
Remorse
Rent
Someone Like You
Cathcart Tower
Something Just Broke
Purpose
City of Angels

Act II
Come on Everybody
Graduation Speech
Stomp
Last Dance
For Good **
The Interrogation
Shiksa Goddess (Ben)
Have it your way
Blues Brothers
Michael Does a Commercial
Heart & Music

**Skits with this sign must see one of us tomorrow. While your skit is in the show, there may be a issue we must address.

REMEMBER: just because your skit got in DOES NOT MEAN that you don't have to practice. No skit that was auditioned was even close to perfection. Practice Practice Practice!!!! If you have any questions or concerns, see one of us or email us (alchemists_theatre@yahoo.com) as soon as possible.
