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
