** WATCH Weekly Report 02-02-22 **
------------------------------------------------------------
To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:
As ballots have started coming in, Margaret has been seeing a number of
these with the same errors, so has asked me to remind everyone of the
following:
- EVERY show with 4 or more performers should receive a score for Outstanding Ensemble. This is NOT about the chorus of a musical. This is about the WHOLE CAST performing as one cohesive unit, performing the show with the same vision and energy, with no weak links. It's a full cast award, not a chorus award. If you see at least 4 actors on stage, the show (either play or musical) needs a score for ensemble.
- Non-human creatures are never included in the ballot, even if they are listed in the playbill. They are too cute, and no one can compete with that.
*****************************************
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.
- DO check each theater’s COVID policies before attending any show, even if you think you already know what they are, and make sure you are comfortable attending
