** WATCH Weekly Report 06-18-25 **
------------------------------------------------------------
To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:
We need 2 alternate ballots for “Disaster” at ASGT due to rained out
performances. Please let me know if you saw this production and can
fill out a ballot.
TIP OF THE WEEK: Shows at many theaters do
sell out, especially musicals and shows that include/are aimed at
children. This is why it is crucial that you make your reservation as
early as possible, and definitely before the show is closing, especially
for these types of shows. If you wait to reserve, box offices workers
are left scrambling to try to fit you in, which is not fair to them.
Plus they are not required to do so, and if they simply cannot find you a
ticket, I will be left scrambling trying to find someone who already
saw the show to fill out a ballot. So please make everyone’s life
easier (including your own) and just reserve as soon as humanly
possible.
******************************************
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.
