Hi Eleanor and Cathleen. Local pharmacy: Brookshire's Food Stores, 1010 AVenue E 76437, 254-442-1126. Wal-mart 10 miles from here: 254-629-3347. Yes bring character shoes.

character shoes?

Things to wear under costumes I've got (I'm assuming that means tights and dance-ish attire of that nature). I wanted to know if I needed to bring character shoes for performances. The ones I have are fine for rehearsal purposes but they're old and kind of a hot mess. I'll bring them if I need them as rehearsal shoes though. I assumed on stage we'd be wearing real people shoes. Just let me know!
Thanks
Cathleen

And yet another question

Billy,
Is there a Pharmacy close by? I have medicine that I have to take, it is all filled up, but in case I run out, do I have access to a Pharmacy?
Eleanor

Hi Cathleen, I am happy to answer your questions. I understand that you are about to ship off to the "Unknown" and I appreciate your feelings. The furniture is stationary. The bathroom adjoins the two rooms. And more new info: Personnel said that you can have a copy of your social security card or have it faxed to you that way. All of you don't hesitate to ask your questions. We want to make you as comfortable as possible. Thanks. Billy.

sick of questions yet?

Billy is probably ready to kill the next person who asks a question, but I like to live on the edge. Does anyone know if the furniture inside the dorm rooms is stationary? Or will we be able to move things around? And I'm assuming from the photos that the toilet/shower part of the bathroom just connects the two bedrooms, correct? I think that was it...for now at least.
Thanks,
Cathleen

Hi Veronica. The address is your name, SUMMER THEATRE, 101 College Heights, Cisco, TX 76437. You folks just need to wait till you get here to understand how the eating thing will works. You are all following in the footsteps of over 30 years of professional summer theatre in this town. It has always been handled like this, and I believe that we had an over 55% survival rate. Those that starved to death were buried with full SUMMER THEATRE HONORS. Billy. Please find the gowns we want you to bring attached.

Life is crazy, go with it

Hello everyone!
Billy I have only two questions for you and #1 is, what is our address? (I love mail from grandma!). #2- is there a grill outside or could I buy one and put it outside?
For those of you who have never lived in a dorm before, we'll make it! Based on the answers to all these questions, it sounds like it will be quite an adventure this summer. Looking forward to it! See you sunday.
Veronica

Hi Neil. Since it is a dorm, the only cooking allowed is in a microwave.
Heating elements are not allowed because they can cause a fire.
There is no stove and oven. As you can see in the pictures that I placed
on the web for you, there is a sink in your room.
There is a Dairy Queen, Sonic, Subway Sandwiches, and a Pizza Heaven.
You can also get fried chicken at the grocery store.
When you get tired of that, you can cook cup of noodles and Ramin at the dorm.
Also, Everyone, be sure to bring 2 forms of picture ID and your social security card in order to be placed on payroll.

once again with the food thing

sooo...there is a community space with a fridge and a microwave? we have to provide our own dishes. is there a stove/oven and a sink to wash our dishes? can i bring a george foreman grill if i want to cook? i've never lived in a dorm in my life so i'm gonna need a little help from anybody who is used to living in a dorm. i have no idea what to bring, plus the stuff i know i need i don't know how they are going to fit on the plane. help!
-neil

More Questions

Mr. Smith-
What time would you like the people driving to arrive on Sunday???

Those driving should arrive at 8 PM on Sunday.
Find map at: http://www.cjctheatre.com/images/map.jpgAlso, I know we should be bringing a refrigerator if we can, but does there happen to be a cafeteria or are we buying/cooking all our food? There is no cafeteria. You will need to either eat at sonic, dairy queen, subway, pizza heaven, etc. or microwave dinner in the dorms. We have some tricks like discount nights or 2 for 1 burgers, etc. to help make it a little better.

Hi Folks,

I need you to email me with your flight information: Airline, flight #, arrival time, and also your cell phone number. I need this ASAP. I will put together a "hook up" plan. Once you get off the airplane, you will turn your cell phone on.
I will probably have you get your luggage and then take the "skylink" to a prescribed terminal where we will pick all of you up. Please email me soon. Thanks. Billy

Answering Casi's question: You will have 6 small drawers in your room. Three under each bed. You will also have two study carols that can act as tables, shelves, etc. There is also a TV shelf with cable. YOu will have two locking closets. You can see rooms at: http://www.cjctheatre.com/dormroom.htm Thanks. Billy

Anyone flying in or traveling in by train needs to email me with their travel information.

Airport, station, airline, flight number, arrival time, etc.

I am providing transportation from Dallas Ft. Worth to Cisco.

Thanks,

Billy

Temperature for the first month will be an average of about: Low: 68 High 92.
For the girls playing girls: You will probably unload your suitcases at the dorm and use them for your props in the first act when you arrive at Santa Rosa -so they will be at the theatre. If you like to fish, bring a fishing pole. If you want to learn guitar, bring that. Other musical instruments are welcome to for when we "jam" at the lake.

There may be times when you just hang out, waiting for the next rehearsal, so have something like a good book, knitting, hacky sack, etc. If you have trouble learning vocal parts, something like an MP3 player might be useful. A sleeping bag is also good, but only if there is room. Anything that you can bring to wear under costumes that is cool to help protect costumes is good, since it is sometimes hot, and we only wash and clean costumes once per week. You will get out of this summer what you put into it, so coming with a good attitude and a desire to meet and enjoy the virtues of your company members is a good thing.

I just recently had an equity actor that I had directed in summer theatre in 1983 call me from Houston. I had not heard from him since then. He is working at the Alley Theatre, and now he may come up and direct for me in the near future - Just an example of the type of relationships you may make this summer. There will be great value in this experience for you, if you do your best in all aspects. We are looking forward to working you. Billy

Questions for "Mr." Billy

I have just a few more questions...
1. How many people to a room?
Answer: One

2. How many people to a bathroom (you said bring a shower curtain)?
Answer: Two. Yes, you will need a shower curtain. We will provide transportation for you to go to the dollar store and Walmart on Monday to get things that you don't have.

3. Can I bring a coffee maker too? (I'll wake up much easier!!)
Answer: Yes, you can bring a coffee maker.

4. Will we be working through July 4th holiday?
Answer: Yes we will probably have a pick up rehearsal that day.

from Casi

Adding on is Veronica
1. Do we have internet access in our rooms/should i bring my laptop?
Answer: No internet access in the room, you have to walk up to the Library.
I discourage expensive accessories. We don't want anything expensive to disappear while you are here.

2. You mentioned that we do promotional bits of the show for different groups, would those be in costume or do we need to bring nice dress clothes?
Answer: You probably need one set of nice clothes, but the promos will be in costume. Bring lots of good deoderant.


3. How about dishes?
Good Question!!!!!! Answer: Dishes are not provided.

Adding on is Victoria:
1. Are there computers in the library with internet access?
Answer: Yes. They don't have Office Professional 2003, but they do have internet access.

5/20/2006 Adding on is Casi:
In the dorm: Is there dressers to "unload" into? Shelving? Desk?
Why don't you just tell us what's in your typical dorm room. :)
Reminder to all: Bring hangers unless you want to pick them up at the dollar store.

OK. I just bought a 20" TV with VHS and DVD players built in, so you can watch movies. There will also be a fridge, microwave, and freezer. All of this will be in the "Community Room". Again, if you have a mini fridge - bring it. Thanks, Billy.

Billy here. OK, I am going to start a list of things to bring: this list will increase as I think of things.

1) If you are driving and have a mini fridge and/or microwave: Bring it/them.

2) sunscreen, water shoes, something to swim in with something to throw over it, the beginnings of a suntan would help keep you from burning in the sun.

3) You will need twin sheets, towels, shower curtain, throw rugs, dorm stuff, etc. all of which you can purchase cheaply on Monday at the "Dollar Store".

4) A pencil, a small fan (dorms are airconditioned, but it still might be a little warm.)

5) There will be a TV, one fridge, a microwave, and a freezer. Those who use them will have
a schedule of cleaning them. Community fridges microwaves, and freezers tend to digress in condition over time.

6) If you like to hike in the back country, leather hiking boots are needed. There is a place to hike, get hot and sweaty and then jump in the lake to cool off. A hat to protect your face from the sun is also good. Bug repellent is a good thing. Also Lotion and stuff for bug bites for those times you forget bug repellent - Sometimes we get skeeters here.

7) If you are a person that needs vocal parts to take home, I can probably provide them in the form of wav. files or mp3. files that you can access via USB or an 1/8" cable to your personal sound device.

the question of food

Hey guys,
I was wondering if any of you were bringing your own mini-fridge? How exactly is the food thing working this summer...

Hey there!

Hey everybody! It seems like I'm one of the last ones to write on here. I've been busy with a show and finals. Now that I have some free time, I thought I'd write something. I'm Lindsay Williams. I was born and raised in CT for the first 14 years of my life, then moved to Florida for 8 years, and now I go to the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss). Go Rebels! I'll graduate next year with a BFA in musical theater. I've never been to Texas, so I'm looking forward to seeing it. Are we near Six Flags at all? I love theme parks and would love to go to one if we had some free time. Anyway, that's all I'll say for now. I'm going to see all of you in a few weeks, so you'll get to know me then. Fow now, everyone take care! I can't wait to meet all of you!

~Lindsay Williams~

Tofukillah is here.

Hey ya'll. My name is Eric Barton. Where to begin? Well, I'm 19 and i'm from Big Spring, TX. I only got into theatre my freshman year of high school, so please don't hate when I don't know alot of the shows ya'll talk about. "Ya'll"? Anyway, my hobbies include yoga, meditation, cooking (vegetarian), books (Harry Potter Rulz!!!), and I love heavy rock music. Looking back on this list, I guess I'm an angry hippie. I play guitar, bass, tuba, and a little piano. I'm the guitarist in a southern hardcore band that has yet to get a name (any suggestions?). My favorite bands are Lamb of God, Fall Out Boy, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Dead Can Dance, Jack's Mannequin, and Red Hot Chili Peppers. I love acting and hope to do well in the future.

PS....I STILL can't get the lyrics from High School Musical out of my head. THANX ALOT VICTORIA!!!

Give Three Cheers!!!

Hip-Hip Hooray!!!
So, tonight I was officially declared the Valedictorian of the Class of 2006!
My best friend is number 3, and I could not be more happy. I now have less than three weeks to write a speech while trying to keep my sanity through four AP exams and attending banquets every other day. Our prom is on Saturday and my friends are going to have an awesome night of dancing, laughter, and food!
Oh, and who knows when I am going to pack for Cisco? I have never had to move anywhere before, so that will be a first. These last few weeks are going to fly by.

Until next time,
Brenda

What to bring?

Does anyone know if we need to bring anything like a TV/DVD if we want to have movie nights, or if it will be available there? Just wondering what to bring and what to put in storage...

Three weeks!
