WATCH Weekly Report 06-28-17

** WATCH Weekly Report 06-28-17 ** 

------------------------------------------------------------

To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:

Please keep in mind that many shows do sell out, particularly musicals and those with kids in the cast and/or that appeal to kids.  So while you should always try to make your reservations early, if you see you have an assignment that meets any of the qualifications just mentioned (and there are several in the current report), it is of particular importance that you reserve early.

And WATCH Board reps, if your show is selling really well and it looks like it might sell out, please let me know so I can contact the judges who have not yet made a reservation and encourage them to reserve ASAP.

*****************************************

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:

1.      DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL.  It’s very long, and the reply will include the entire thing, clogging my inbox.  Please send a new email to adjudication@washingtontheater.org

2.      DO email me your reservation dates.  Really, I want to know!

3.      DO search this entire report for your name, including in the “Closed” section to see if you owe any ballots.

4.      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.
