** WATCH Weekly Report 02-25-26 **
------------------------------------------------------------
To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:
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.
*****************************************

From Virginia: Once across the Wilson Bridge take Exit # 3A, Route 210 South towards Indian Head. Travel South on Route 210 for about 10 miles and take a left on Route 228, Berry Road, going towards Waldorf. Continue on 228 for about 7 miles until you reach the intersection of Route 301. Turn right (headed South again) on Route 301 for about 10 miles until you reach Maryland Route 6 in La Plata. Turn left on Route 6 (Charles Street) and PTP will be about a half mile on the left, just after the railroad tracks. It is a very tall conspicuous building in its surroundings and you should find it easily. Do not park in the urgent care center parking lot; if you do, your car will be towed.
