** WATCH Weekly Report 05-18-22 **
------------------------------------------------------------
To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:

Dominion Stage had to cancel their final performances of [title of show]. If you saw this show and can submit an alternate ballot, please let me know.

Also, this is a good example of why we encourage judges to see shows as early in the run as possible. We say this every year, but it is particularly pertinent in COVID times as shows can be forced to cancel performances at any time. Reserving early in the run affords flexibility for rescheduling. Of course, if the only time you can go is closing weekend, that is understandable. But whenever possible, go early.

------------------------------------------------------------
To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:

We are desperately in need of an alternate for Freaky Friday at Colonial Players of Annapolis. They have sadly been forced to cancel a number of performances over the past 2 weeks, which means that judges originally planning to attend are no longer available. The show closes this weekend, but they have added a performance this evening, if that works for anyone. And if you have already seen the show of your own free will and can submit a ballot, even better! Please let me know as soon as possible if you can help out.

------------------------------------------------------------
To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:

May the 4^th Be With You!

A special shout out to all the judges – we currently have 10 ballots for every show that has already closed! This rarely happens, so I wanted to mark this milestone. Thank you all for getting your ballots submitted, mostly in a timely manner. And thank you to all those judges who were able to submit alternate ballots to prevent us from having to close shows with less than 10 ballots. Hopefully we can continue this momentum and have all ballots submitted for all shows for the rest of the year.

*****************************************
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:
