A Note From Mrs. Pollnow

Mr. Hummel, Mrs. Hensler, and Micaela Weils have been working hard to create our beautiful poster as well as the reminder cards all the cast and crew will be distributing.  The cards and poster should be ready by next Monday, April fourth.

Please take reminder cards with you wherever you go (in your car, your purse, etc.) so that they are available to share with everyone you meet.  Remember, anyone you invite to our performances is being offered a gift.  Don't be afraid to invite friends and strangers alike.  In the past I have had many strangers I invited (the phlebotomist that drew Jacob's blood, the nurse practitioner, the cashier at the bookstore, the barrista at Starbucks and others) show up at our HIS Players performances.  They have always been very grateful and eager to attend the next year's production.

So as soon as the reminder cards are available, grab a handful and share, share, share!  In today's chaotic world a smile alone goes a long way.  Imagine what a smile and a warm invitation to a free theatrical performance can do!

Thank you for your help,
Val Pollnow

Outlaw homework

Outlaws - I meant to give this to you last week to work on, but there is always this week.

Some ad libbing parts for all of you

At the end of the play you will be talking excitedly about the first thing you are going to do when you get back to town. Plan that out.

Also when you are pardoned by the Duke there will be a little ceremony - so come up with the offence that you are being pardoned for. Make up a little story for it.

Great job withbeing patient guys - we will assign your weaponry this week.

Mr. Landers coming April 4

Some of you may remember Mr. Landers from Oliver Twist. He is a wonderful christian actor, director and stunt man. He will be working with part of the cast on April 4th at the Refinery from 12:00 - 2:00 He is in the middle of tech week in his show and needed to come earlier.

Actors needed at noon (or slightly before!) - scene 11 - all 6 outlaws, Speed, Valentine

Additional actors needed at 12:30 for scene 16 Proteus, Julia with a hat, Sarah McCulloch could you fill in for Johannah?

Everyone else in that scene 16 should be fine coming at the normal 1:00 and report to wherever we are working.

OK - so outlaws remember April 4th is your big day - we need guns on at that point and rifles assigned, etc.

Johannah, I am sorry I couldn't work it out for Mr. Landers to come when you were there - schedules didn't connect.

Refinery - everyone

Hey everyone,

Don't forget that we meet at the Refinery beginning on Monday, March 28. The address is 919 N. River Road. It is in a warehouse - 3rd one down - on the east side of the road between a fire station and daycare building. See you at 1:00.
