** WATCH Weekly Report 09-11-24 **
------------------------------------------------------------
To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:
I have seen a recent uptick in missing Ensemble scores from ballots, so I
thought it was time the bring back the below tip for review.
TIP OF THE WEEK: Did 4 or more actors appear on stage at any time during the show? If so, there should be a score for Ensemble on your ballot. It does not
matter how many actors were on stage at one time, whether there is an
Ensemble listed in the Playbill, or whether it is a Play or Musical.
Basically, Ensemble = Full Cast. This is the first
category in the Overall Elements section, and the default is “N/A”, so
be sure to select a score. I have also heard from some people that
sometimes this score is entered, but reverts to an “N/A” if you miss
scoring another element and the form refreshes so you can add this
score. In which case, please double check to make sure the Ensemble
score is included before you submit.
******************************************
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.

Directions to performance space(s): From Points North - "How would you get to Reagan National Airport?" That's the first question to answer. Once you've gotten onto the GW Parkway and passed the airport on your left, continue heading south. The Parkway becomes Washington Street as you enter the city of Alexandria. Cross King Street and take the third left after King onto Wolfe Street. You will find LTA on the right hand side of the street, at the corner of Wolfe and St. Asaph streets.
From The Capital Beltway - take the exit for Route 1 North. As you exit on the ramp, you'll drive onto Route 1 and get in the right lane immediately. Take the first right, onto Franklin St. At the light, make a 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 Street, near King, and there are several on Pitt, near King. Look for the "Public Parking" signs.

- Please note that The Arlington Players does not control the garage and we have been warned that the garage will lock when we are to be out of the building (11PM for evening shows).
