A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum:

Richard reported that we have a show underway with a rehearsal schedule distributed to all involved.

Robert Wiremu to be asked to record practice CD’s for the cast, as some of the music is quite tricky.

Richard suggested that a recording of the orchestral accompaniment would greatly enhance the production. He will arrange to cost the production of a tailor made recording so that it includes only the music we will use.

Judy suggested the University Music students may be interested in undertaking this project as a fund raiser for themselves.

Colin has agreed to produce the set.

Costumes need a co.ordinator.

Sound man to be approached…Howard.

Suggested that dancers from Otherworld be approached to play the courtesans.

It is suggested that all performances be set to include the audience seated at tables.

Adverts. It has been noted that Artworks Theatre and Story time have regular adverts in the local papers. Suggested that Forum be advertised alongside these adds for 2 months from the beginning of May.

Mozart: Thanks to Mark for the music available on the web.

Request for practice CDs for those unable to use the web. Andy agreed to look into doing this.

General Business: The lock on the door at Whittaker’s is very temperamental.

Richard to talk with Music Museum to arrange for WCS to pay to replace the lock.
