WATCH Weekly Report 06-15-22

 ** WATCH Weekly Report 06-15-22 ** 
------------------------------------------------------------
To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:

We need a couple of alternates for shows closing this weekend.  Information on both shows can be found below.  If you can serve as an alternate for either show, please let me know as soon as possible.
 
Also, please remember to make your reservation for shows (and let me know about it) as early as possible.  Shows do sell out, and it you wait too long, the theater is left scrambling trying to get you tickets, if they even can.  And reps, if your show starts selling out, please let me know so I can light a fire under the judges who have not reserved before it is too late.


*****************************************
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. Please send a new email to watchadjudication@gmail.com
  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.
  5. 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
