** WATCH Weekly Report 01-21-26 **
------------------------------------------------------------
To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:
Since I get this question from new judges every year, if you were
assigned a show, but your name disappears from the weekly report, this
is probably because I have removed your name from the report after
receiving the ballot confirmation from Margaret.
Conversely, if your name still appears, but you sent in your ballot, it
probably means I have not received the conformation from Margaret (which
is the only way I know it has been received). If you received that
confirmation email, just forward it to me and I will take you off the
list. If you did not receive it, it probably means that Margaret did
not receive it. Check in with us, but you may need to resubmit, which
is one of several reasons we always suggest you keep a copy of your
scores once you’ve submitted them. Please also note that this is a
manual system which requires Margaret to check for ballots, so it may be
several days between when you submit and when you receive her
confirmation.
TIP OF THE WEEK: Think twice before you give a
score of “10”. If you give it a “10”, you should be thinking along the
lines of “OMG/that blew me away/that is professional quality/should be
headed to Broadway.” You don’t need to give a 10 to show your
appreciation; somewhere in the 8 to 9 range is still a great score.
Save your 10’s for if/when they are truly deserved. And since the one
highest score and the one lowest score for each element are removed
before the average is calculated using the remaining 8 scores, when you
give a 10 when none of the other judges did, your score ends up being
removed and not counted for that element anyway.
*****************************************
NOTE: Balloting for a show closes 30 days after the show closes. If you owe us a ballot, please get it in as soon as possible.
Friendly Reminders:
- DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL.It’s very long, and the reply will include the entire thing.Please send a new email to watchadjudication@gmail.com
- DO email me your reservation dates.Really, I want to know!
- DO search this entire report for your name, including in the “Closed” section to see if you owe any ballots.
- If you go see a show that you were not assigned to see, please let me know in case we need an alternate.Try to keep the playbills for all shows you see at WATCH company theaters, at least until you see that it has closed with all ballots received.Similarly, if you see a note that an alternate is needed and you are available to see that show, please let me know.

Directions to performance space(s): From the GW Parkway South: the Parkway becomes Washington Street as you enter the city of Alexandria. Cross King Street and take the third left after King onto Wolfe Street. You will find LTA on the right-hand side of the street, at the corner of Wolfe and St. Asaph streets.
From The Capital Beltway: take the exit for Route 1 North. As you exit on the ramp, you'll drive onto Route 1 and get in the right lane immediately. Take the first right, onto Franklin St. At the light, make a left onto Washington Street. Pass two lights and make a right onto Wolfe St. LTA is at the corner of Wolfe and St. Asaph streets.
Parking is on the street. Watch posted signs, as some areas have two hour parking limitations and some require payment. The Capital One Bank on the corner of Wilkes and Washington streets lets our patrons park in their lot when the bank is closed. Please note The Capital One Bank has extended their hours to include evening and weekend hours. Please make sure not to use their parking lot when they are open.
There are several garages within walking distance - one is on Washington Street, near King, and there are several on Pitt, near King. Look for the "Public Parking" signs.
One handicap accessible parking space is located on St Asaph Street next to LTA’s courtyard.
