** WATCH Weekly Report 12-10-25 **
------------------------------------------------------------
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: For the technical elements, if
you see it on stage, you should score it, regardless of whether it is
listed in the playbill. For example, if there is no Costumer Designer
listed, but the actors were (hopefully) wearing clothes, you would check
the “Not Listed” box, but still give Costume Designer a score.
The most overlooked elements are usually Special Effects and Combat
Choreography, because theaters often forget to list these in their
programs and not every show has them. But you’d be surprised by how
many missing scores we see for things like set painting or makeup as
well. So, to reiterate, if it is present in the production, score it.
******************************************
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.
