** WATCH Weekly Report 06-03-26 **
------------------------------------------------------------
To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:
TIP OF THE WEEK: Please make sure you are using the information for the show you are adjudicating that is provided in the weekly report. While you hopefully were given a copy of the Just the Facts (JTF) document at the beginning of this year which includes information on all the theaters, there are so many changes across the year (e.g. start times, venues, dates of the run, how to make reservations, etc.) that we cannot update the JTF every time one of these changes come in. Instead, I mark these changes in my master copy, and this is what I use to create the entry for each show in the report. So, if you are only using your copy, you may be woefully misinformed. This is just another reason it is imperative for you to review this report on a regular basis.
*****************************************
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:
1. 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
2. DO email me your reservation dates. Really, I want to know!
3. DO search this entire report for your name, including in the “Closed” section to see if you owe any ballots.
4. 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.
