** WATCH Weekly Report 10-29-25 **
------------------------------------------------------------
To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:
We need an alternate ballot for a
show that has closed. Please take a look at the Closed section of this
report and let me know if you saw the show and can cover the ballot.
TIP OF THE WEEK: Please make sure you enter your email address on the ballot and
double check that it is entered correctly. This is what Margaret uses
to send you the confirmation of ballot receipt, and thus prevents a lot
of bouncebacks, and ensures you know that your ballot has been received.
******************************************
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.
