** WATCH Weekly Report 08-06-25 **
------------------------------------------------------------
To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:
I have heard from several people that they did not see my note in last week's report about the ballot being down. Please make sure that you read this upper section of the report every time something is included, because chances are it is crucial information for you to know.
Please note:
Our balloting system is still on the fritz - you can still submit
ballots, but they are not getting transmitted to Margaret. So if your
name appears in this report for a show for which you’ve submitted a
ballot, it means it has not been received. Please send Margaret a copy
of your confirmation screen which includes all the scores for the show.
She can work with this in the meantime, and once I hear she has
received it, I will take you off my list. Her email address is in the
“Useful Links” section, as it is in every report. And if you did not
save those scores, you will need to resubmit the ballot and then send
her the scores. Please continue to use this system until you hear from
me that balloting has been fixed.
Which is a nice segue into our tip of the week …
TIP OF THE WEEK: Make sure you keep a copy of
your ballot for every show. On the screen after you submit you should
see a confirmation screen that summarizes all of your entries for that
show. Take a screenshot or make a copy of this confirmation screen.
This will help in situations (like our current one) where Margaret does
not receive your ballot. We also recommend you keep a copy for all
shows at least until the ceremony the following year in case there are
any questions about the balloting. (As far as we know we have never had
to check these, but that’s probably because we had them available;
Murphy’s Law states that once judges stop saving them, we will need
them.)
******************************************
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.
