** WATCH Weekly Report 01-17-24 **
------------------------------------------------------------
To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:
TIP OF THE WEEK: When completing your ballot,
if you find yourself typing a plural word in the role name field (e.g.
"nuns" or “orphans”) and then several names in the performer name field,
PLEASE STOP! Only give individual scores to the leads, the featured
characters, and any true cameos. The hard-working folks in the chorus
should be considered in the ENSEMBLE score, but should not all receive
individual scores. In summary, one should never list a group of actors
in the individual scores section.
******************************************
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.
