** WATCH Weekly Report 05-11-22 **
------------------------------------------------------------
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.
*****************************************
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.
- DO check each theater’s COVID policies before attending any show, even if you think you already know what they are, and make sure you are comfortable attending
