** WATCH Weekly Report 05-14-25 **
------------------------------------------------------------
To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:
TIP OF THE WEEK: Many shows do sell out,
especially musicals and shows with children in the cast. So while it is
a good idea to make your reservation for every show very early in the
run (or even better, when your name first appears on the report), it is
especially crucial when it is one of these types of shows, particularly
when it is a well-known show to boot. I have had to reach out to a lot
of judges recently after hearing from reps that they are in danger of
being shut out of tickets. Please don’t let this happen – reserve early.
******************************************
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.
