Snow, believe it or not

Posted: Tuesday, March 22, 2011

Dear Parents, Cast, and Crew of Thoroughly Modern Millie:

Just when we thought it was safe to put our winter clothes away, we’ve come under the threat of a spring snowstorm or two. Dr. Freeston, Dr. Cyganovich, Dr. Bovino and I have been working on a contingency plan in case we are a) sent home early on Wednesday b) cancelled on Thursday, and/or c) cancelled on Saturday. Here are our plans:

WEDNESDAY. 3/22/11
• IF WE HAVE AN EARLY DISMISSAL, there will be no rehearsal.
• IF AFTER-SCHOOL ACTIVITIES ARE CANCELLED, the stage crew will be excused from class 8th and 9th period to dry-run scene changes.
THURSDAY, 3/23/11
• IF SCHOOL IS CLOSED, we will watch the roads/parking lot, and if Mr. Green decides it is safe, he will open the school for us so we can have our dress rehearsal. The time will depend on when everything is cleared of snow/slush/ice.
• IF WE START WITH A DELAY, and will rehearse as scheduled.
SATURDAY, 3/26/11
• IF THE SHOW IS CANCELLED, we will add a special performance on Monday evening at 7:00. People with tickets for Saturday will have the option to exchange their Saturday tickets at the box office for the Sunday performance on a first-come, first served basis, OR come to the Monday performance. If neither option is amenable, we will refund ticket money.
SUNDAY, 3/27/11
• IF THE SHOW IS CANCELLED, tickets will be honored at the special Monday performance. If coming Monday is impossible, money will be refunded.

IT IS VITALLY IMPORTANT THAT YOU CHECK THE BLOG @ www.nsdirector.blogspot.com FOR UPDATES. My Email, in case you have scheduling questions on Thursday, Saturday, or Sunday is: coatesd@northsalem.k12.ny.us.

Thanks so much for your patience, flexibility, determination, and drive. You all deserve massive amounts of credit for the work you’ve put into this production.

Mr. Coates

Final two weeks schedule.

As we move into these final two weeks, rehearsals are reaching peak intensity. We will be working later. We've been very conscious of the actor's time up to now, and while we are trying to use everyone's time to the utmost, there will be some sitting around time during these last two weeks. Please bring your homework to rehearsal and study during your off-time. There is no excuse for not having your academic work done by the time you get home from a late rehearsal.

Please bring in your tights and cast money as soon as possible.

Again, thanks for your hard work, patience, and flexibility. You are doing a fantastic job - both students AND parents!

Rehearsals 3/6-3/13 altered @7:440pm Sunday!

We are coming into the home stretch, and the rehearsals are going to get more intense from here on in. We've been very flexible in trying to accommodate schedules, but we need for student actors to make rehearsals a priority now. Just looking ahead a bit, we will rehearse on Saturday, March 19th and Sunday March 20th - the weekend before the show. The 19th, actors will belong to Mrs. Harde and her costume team, and hopefully we'll get some choreography rehearsals in that day as well. The load-in for lights and sound will be going on in the auditorium, and the orchestra will be rehearsing as well. Sunday the 20th we will be in the auditorium. Brunch will be served for the students who have brought in money for meals.

We will be in rehearsal from 3:00 until 8:30pm Monday through Thursday of Tech Week. We will be adding in lights, sound, crew, costumes, hair etc. that week. Dress rehearsal will be Thursday evening where we add the orchestra, and then we are at opening night.

Thanks for all of your help, understanding, flexibility and general all-around great attitudes.

Our Millie Choreographer

We are very fortunate to be working with Nicole Aravena-Coates and Bill Coates as our choreographers on Thoroughly Modern Millie this year. Here is Nicole's bio:

Nicole Aravena-Coates started dancing 27 years ago at Dance Dimensions in Brookfield, Connecticut under the direction of Beverly Legge. She was the winner of many dance titles and high scores regionally and nationally including Teen Dancer of the Year Connecticut 1995, Teen Dancer of the Year Massachusetts 1996 and Miss Dancer of the Year Connecticut 1999. At the age of 16, she decided to head to the Big Apple to attend school. Nicole is a graduate of the NYC High School of Performing Arts (the Fame school). During high school, she was a member of the 1998 United States of America National Tap Team and traveled to Reisa, Germany to compete in the World Cup. The U.S.A. team ranked 2nd and Nicole ranked 15th in the world as a soloist that year. When the team got back to the United States, they were invited to the Town Hall Theater to perform amongst such greats as Buster Brown, Ted Levy, and Brenda Buffalino in the “Night of Choreographers”. Nicole performed in plays such as Wizard of Oz, Evita, and Gypsy at the Strand Theater. In addition she performed in a workshop production of A Chorus Line as a swing at Carnegie Hall and also performed in the world premier of Footloose.
After graduating high school Nicole studied drama at William Espers Studio in Manhattan, one of the most prestigious studios in New York City. While at the drama school, she judged both regional and national dance and talent competitions. Nicole was also a soloist member of the Peggy Spina Tap Company, a solo tap dancer for the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra performance of Talk to the Animals, as well as the choreographer of the hit off-Broadway show Broadway Baby, starring Jessica Leschnauer.
Nicole started her teaching career at dance schools in Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey. Some of her students were national competition winners. She then went on to teach at the world-renowned Broadway Dance Center with Germaine Salsberg, her tap mentor. There she discovered her true love, teaching children to dance. Nine years ago Nicole started her own studio. She is the owner/director of the Seven Star School of Performing Arts in Brewster, NY. She is also the director of the Seven Star Dance Company, which has won numerous awards over the years. Some of her most recent and proudest moment was to see her student of 8yrs, Gabriel Rush play the part of Michael in the Broadway show Billy Elliot.
This past October Nicole traveled with 4 of her students to Reisa Germany to compete in the Tap Dance World Cup. For the first time she was able to experience 3 of her students stand on the World Cup podium as Silver and Bronze medalists. As a choreographer Nicole most recently was awarded the Dutchie Award (Dutchess Community College Hudson Valley Theater Awards 2010) for her choreography in Brewster High School’s production of Oklahoma!. Other Brewster High School and Middle School productions that Nicole has had a great success with are West Side Story, The Wizard of Oz, Les Miserables, Beauty and the Beast, Once Upon a Mattress, Guys and Dolls, King and I, Suessical, Aladdin and Cinderella. Nicole is so excited to have the opportunity to be part of North Salem’s Thoroughly Modern Millie.

Welcome and Week of 1/3 Rehearsal Schedule

Welcome! We are very excited to be starting our initial launch into the 2011 production of Thoroughly Modern Millie, and we hope you and your families are excited as well. As we begin, here are a few guidelines to help us all get on the same page:

  • We are working very hard to have student actors available ONLY when they are needed so attendance is very important, but we also know that things come up. Please come in person (or encourage your children to come) and tell me if you need to miss a rehearsal. Especially in the beginning of the rehearsal process, we can work around absences. That does, however, become more difficult as we move later into the process.
  • If you (or your child) is ill, we get it - we want you to get better, so we understand why you are not at rehearsal.
  • IF YOU NEED TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ME, USE MY EMAIL: coatesd@northsalem.k12.y.us. I rarely check my voice mail at school, and I check Email regularly.
  • If there is no school due to snow, there is no rehearsal.
  • If after-school activities are cancelled due to weather conditions, rehearsal is cancelled.
  • IF those things happen, students should check the call board outside of the chorus room for changes. I'll try to make sure that I post changes on this site for parents and/or student actors as soon as possible.
We are starting with music rehearsals this week, and that will continue through most of January. As we add dance and blocking rehearsals, we'll make sure they are posted as well.
