UPTA 2008 — Notes #2
Posted on January 10th, 2008
Hi Gang!
Things are picking up quite a bit around the UPTA offices…..
Here are a few tidbits for you……
- All my group emails (Notes #1, Notes #2) will now also be posted on our website (www.upta.org) under “BLOGS.” If you missed the first email from me, check the BLOG.
- We’ve also added a HOTEL FORUM on the website. If you’re looking for roommates, want advice on hotels, where to go, what to stay away from, etc., go to this forum and “talk amongst yourselves.”
- As of today, 109 companies! More than ever before! And we still have a month to go! Check the REGISTERED COMPANY list to see who will be here and when.
- Please let us know by tomorrow (Friday 1/11) if you are cancelling so we can get folks off the waiting lists. If you do cancel, we can still distribute your headshots if you’d like. Contact my assistant Lindsey (lindsey@upta.org) if you need to cancel or distribute.
- We freeze all the audition lists tomorrow. After tomorrow, there can be no additions. After the 18th, there can be no changes as we start to collate over 100,000 headshots.
- All headshots are due in our offices by Friday, January 18th - NEXT FRIDAY. 125 headshots for non-Equity, 50 for Equity. If you think you may have sent less than that (and I think some of you did…..), please send the difference now. You don’t want us making bad xerox copies for you. Remember, not postmarked by the 18th, HERE by the 18th.
- There are still slots available for production personnel interviews. If you know anyone qualified who may be interested in attending the production interviews, send them to our website to register.
- In the next couple of emails, I’ll send notes from Jose Simbulan, our accompanist, on music prep - a note from Doug Truelson, the Southeast Traveling Rep for Actors’ Equity - and, as soon as it’s built and on the stage, a picture of the set upon which you’ll audition. This year, it’s Pirates of Penzance.
OK, that’s it for now. Remember… Blog, Hotel Forum, Headshots by the 18th…..
OH! ………… And auditions under 90 seconds, extra back up pieces for callbacks, portfolios, slides, and other tech materials for interviews, and
Break a Leg!
