** WATCH Weekly Report 06-26-19 ** 

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

To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:

TIP OF THE WEEK:  In the spirit of last week’s tip, please make sure you stay for the entire performance.  Sometimes things happen later in the show that can impact your scoring, including (but not limited to) a pivotal scene for a character or even a character that does not show up until late in the show.  Plus, it is really important to see a character’s entire development before scoring them, not to mention that technical elements change throughout the show.  If you have an emergency and have to leave, by all means, do.  But you will be required to go back and see the rest of the show, or find an alternate to see it before a ballot can be submitted.  And yes, the theaters are fully aware of who the WATCH judges are, they do notice when a judge leaves early, and they are not shy about contacting me to let me know.

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

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.
