** WATCH Weekly Report 06-17-26 **
------------------------------------------------------------
To the WATCH Board, Judges, and Alternates:
TIP OF THE WEEK: Be sure you are on the lookout
for Special Effects as this category is often overlooked in the program,
but still needs to be scored if present in the production. Or
sometimes it is listed in a different way in the program, but still
needs to be scored as special effects on your ballot. WATCH training
defines these as something that required a “special dedicated technician
to design, set up and/or run.” Some examples include pyrotechnics,
rain or water, videos or projections, flying of actors and/or items, and
seemingly magical appearance or disappearance of actors and/or items.
*****************************************
