** WATCH Weekly Report 12-03-25 **
------------------------------------------------------------
To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:
We still need an alternate ballot for an already closed show.
Please check the Closed section and let me know if you can fill out a
ballot.
Reminder: The final date for accepting ballots for shows closing in late November or December will be December 22nd
TIP OF THE WEEK: When completing your ballot, if
you find yourself typing a plural word in the role name field (e.g.
"nuns" or “orphans”) and then several names in the performer name field,
PLEASE STOP! Also, even if the theater gives the Ensemble members
individual character names, if they are listed under the “Ensemble”
heading, PLEASE STOP! Only give individual scores to the leads, the
featured characters, and any true cameos. The hard-working folks in the
chorus should be considered in the ENSEMBLE score, but should not all
receive individual scores. In summary, one should never list a group of
actors or true ensemble members in the individual scores section.
******************************************
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.
