WATCH Weekly Report 12-11-24

 ** WATCH Weekly Report 12-11-24 **
------------------------------------------------------------
To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:

Reminder: the final date for accepting ballots will be December 24th


TIP OF THE WEEK:  Try to fill out your ballot right after you see the show.  I don’t close balloting for 30 days from show closing, but memories fade, and your ballot is most accurate when done immediately.  And this is especially important at this time of year since you will not have 30 days to submit for shows closing in December.


******************************************
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.

Note: The turn on Sylvan Drive can be difficult if there is heavy south-bound traffic, so you are better off continuing past Sylvan Drive to the light at Route 450, where you can make a U-turn, then proceed south. Make a right turn into White Marsh Recreation Area. Proceed past the ball fields to the parking lot on the left at the end of the driveway. Follow the signs to the Bowie Playhouse.
