** WATCH Weekly Report 08-16-17 ** 

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

To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:

Margaret is back from vacation and is all caught up.  So if you are still seeing your name listed below, but have sent in your ballot, please let both Margaret and me know.  (And yes, “me” is correct there for anyone tempted to correct my grammar.) 

I have also been getting a lot of emails about shows judges thought they were assigned to see that are not showing up in the report.  A number of shows have been cancelled or moved since the matrix came out in January.  If you don’t see a show or your name in this report, don’t worry.  I keep a master schedule of shows and judges, and will include all shows opening within two weeks in every report.  So just keep reading this report each week and you should be ok.

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

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.
