IMPORTANT: PLEASE KEEP READING!
After discussion
with the crew, I came to a decision that Ragtime, the Musical will have
an understudy cast.
There are many
reasons for this decision, which include schedule conflicts & tour
availability. The MAIN CAST of Ragtime (above) WILL STILL HAVE
all 6 regular shows at the Palmdale Playhouse guaranteed.
However, for the
Laguna Woods tour and the projected Palm Springs tour,
the understudy
cast would perform on the first and last shows of the tour,
(Saturday morning, Sunday evening), and the primary cast would perform
for the Saturday night and Sunday matinee shows on the tours.
I am also in
negotiation with the Playhouse to ADD a Saturday matinee on the 2nd
weekend in Palmdale to have an understudy show here in Palmdale!
As you know, we were able to cut down hours of tech
week during Fiddler on the Roof (2006), and were able to add a Saturday
matinee the second weekend. I am looking at skipping the pick-up
rehearsal 2nd week & at saving the Playhouse man-power for an
understudy show on the 2nd Saturday afternoon. With the
current friction between D.O.T. and the Playhouse, it may be hard to add
a show, but if it works, the understudy cast would also perform 1 show
here in Palmdale.
For rehearsals, the
Ragtime cast will spend the hour rehearsing and learning blocking while
all understudies will watch and take notes. At the end of each hour or
block of time for learning a song, dance, or scene, the understudy cast
will switch places and have 1 opportunity to rehearse what they saw.
During August, the
understudy cast will have 1 opportunity per week to run the show, and 1
opportunity on the Palmdale Playhouse stage, (if we add the extra show).
ANY time a lead has
a conflict or cannot make the rehearsal, the understudy will take over
for the missing cast member. It is then the understudy’s
responsibility to meet with the lead and show the lead what he/she
missed.

The
first READ THRU rehearsal will be at Harald Krueger’s home THIS Friday,
May 9th at 7:00pm where we will read through the scripts and
all the music We begin promptly, so please be there at 7:00 or before.
Attached is the complete rehearsal schedule for your convenience.
To get
to Harald’s house, take the 14 freeway to Avenue K and turn west on
Avenue K. Travel until you have reached 25th Street West and
turn south on 25th West. Keep driving until you reach
Harald’s house, which is where the sidewalk ends. He has a Spanish adobe
exterior, a wooden wheel in the front and a circular driveway, though
you may want to park on the street in front of his house. His address
is_____________________.
Finally, all those involved in
Oliver! , Chicago, My Fair Lady, or Diary of Anne Frank must prioritize
those shows before Ragtime, but please give me a rehearsal
schedule. Those involved in West Side Story may also do Ragtime as there
should be hardly, if any, conflicts. However, if you commit to West Side
Story, you must be 100% committed and will not be in the
Ragtime cast for the Laguna Woods tour (schedule conflict), but can
still be in the cast for Palmdale and the possible Palm Springs
tour.
Thank you,
Matthew Daniel Grandpre’
Artistic Director of Ragtime
