WATCH Weekly Report 07-03-19


** WATCH Weekly Report 07-03-19 ** 
------------------------------------------------------------
To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:

TIP OF THE WEEK:  I have officially run out of tips for the time being.  Which means that on the whole, most of you are doing everything right.  Yay for you guys!  I will bring this back if I start seeing problems regularly occurring again, or if anyone requests I include a specific tip.  But for now, just enjoy the lack of lectures (lovingly given, of course). 

As an FYI, I will have less computer access than usual for the next week and a half.  I will still be checking email and will send the report out on time next Wednesday, but don’t expect to hear back from me as quickly as you might normally.  Which also means that you need to line up any alternates you might need as early as possible, as I might not be around to help find one.

On that note, I hope everyone has a lovely holiday, and is getting a long weekend from work.



*****************************************
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.
