** WATCH Weekly Report 05-15-24 **
------------------------------------------------------------
To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:
I am still looking for a couple of alternates – one for a show closing
this week and one for a closed show. Please let me know if you have
seen or can see these shows so I can close out these ballots. Few
things make me sadder than having to close out a show with less than 10
ballots. (OK, that was overly dramatic. Lots of things make me sadder. But you get the drift.)
TIP OF THE WEEK: Was there live music
and/or dancing in the show? If so, please include a score for Music
Direction and Choreography (respectively), even if it is a play
and/or the theater neglected to list them in the program. If they are
not listed but were present, simply click the “Not Listed” box and leave
the name blank, but do include a score.
******************************************
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.

left onto Washington Street. Pass two lights and make a right onto
Wolfe St. LTA is at the corner of Wolfe and St. Asaph streets.
Parking - Parking is on the street. Watch posted signs, as some areas
have two hour parking limitations and some require payment. The Capital
One Bank on the corner of Wilkes and Washington streets lets our patrons
park in their lot when the bank is closed. Please note The Capital One
Bank has extended their hours to include evening and weekend hours.
Please make sure not to use their parking lot when they are open.
There are several garages within walking distance - one is on Washington
