Brigadoon is currently in need of a couple of people backstage to help with the running of the show. We need someone to work our curtain and we need general help with moving set pieces and props to ensure a smooth running show.
The run of the show is May 20th to June 4th, with performances every Wed, Thu, Fri and Sat evening at 7:30pm and Sat and Sun matinees at 2:00pm. You would also be required for our tech week May 15th to 19th, so that you can familiarize yourself with the show.
If you'd like to help out, but may have some conflicts with this schedule, please let us know as we might be able to work out an equitable solution.
****************************************
We also need a sound op for May 20th, the two performances on May 21st, the Sunday matinee on May 22nd and the two shows on Saturday May 28th. We will have approx 8 microphones in use for the show as well as a sound f/x cd.
Duties of the sound operator include: preforming microphone checks before a performance starts, monitoring sound levels during performance,and following instructions from the stage manager of when to play sound cues.
Experience with sound operation is an asset, but we are willing to mentor and provide instruction.
****************************************
All our volunteers receive two complimentary tickets to see the current show, which they can pass on to friends and family members, as well as receiving the benefit of being invited to the Preview night for each of next season's productions (Rocky Horror Show, Assassins, and Gypsy).
If you'd like to help out in either of these capacities, please contact me at vicepres@frontrowcentre.ca
Thank you so much for your consideration,

A NIGHT YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS!!!
In the spirit of last year's highly successful presentation of Forbidden Broadway.
A show with a difference, a revue that tells a story. A story taking place in 200 B.C., 1853, 1882, 1900, the 1950s, the 1970s, the 1980s and tonight.
Put it together with the strains and melodies of one of musical theatre’s greatest composer-lyricists, Stephen Sondheim, and you have a very special story for a very special night.
PLEASE TAKE NOTE
This show is being presented at the Easterbrook Theatre not the Pumphouse.
Our showtime will be 30 minutes later than normal as a result.

Front Row Centre Players invites directors to make proposals for shows to be produced during our 2011-2012 season.
We encourage directors experienced in musical theatre to submit proposals (following the guidelines below) to Joey Sayer and Andrea Sereda, Co-Artistic Directors.
FRC produces at least three musicals each year (Chess, The Producers, Putting it Together and Brigadoon in our current season; Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Hello, Dolly!, Forbidden Broadway’s Greatest Hits and Nunsense in our previous season) and has produced musicals for over 20 years.
For our upcoming season, we are looking for shows that will create an exciting and balanced roster. In our most recent seasons, we have sought three blockbusters due to fundraising needs. Previous to that, we have sought two potential blockbuster shows and a show that may be lesser-known but will entertain, inspire and deserves to be produced. All shows must have a commercial viability and be able to recoup their costs. Shows proposed can be family shows or what we have called a "Hot!" show, which explores more mature themes. We are currently also producing a smaller, revue-style show in a cabaret setting as well. Please see below for examples of shows that can be proposed.
In our considerations, we ideally look for a balance with older, classic shows, modern shows, family-friendly shows, “Hot!” shows, blockbusters and lesser-known shows, and a cabaret-style show. We look to balance male and female directors, as well as encouraging new directors who have never directed for Front Row Centre Players before. We also encourage mentorships (see below).
Participating in Front Row Centre shows is on a completely voluntary basis. There are no honoraria nor out-of-pocket expense reimbursements that are not directly related to the show and approved by the producer.
We are anticipating to produce three large shows to be performed in the Victor Mitchell Theatre at the Pumphouse. A venue for a cabaret-style show is TBD.
Please follow the guidelines below to propose shows. Please note that proposals not containing this information will not be seriously considered.
Proposals must include the following information:
Part A
Name of Director
Experience of director with musical theatre and other related experience
Part B
Name of Show including composer/lyricist/book writer
Rights holder (if unsure, please use the resources available on our website)
Brief Description of Show
Director's Vision for the show
Hot!(adult themed) or not?
Potential Cast Size of show, with male/female ratio
Possible members of directorial creative team (if known)
Potential size of band/orchestra
Potential special effect/technical considerations
Any other comments or considerations
Proposals are to be emailed as an attachment to Joey Sayer and Andrea Sereda, Artistic Directors of Front Row Centre Players, at artistic@frontrowcentre.ca. Any questions can also be sent to this email address.
Proposals must be received by midnight, Sunday, February 13, 2011 to be considered.
The following shows are the type of shows we would like to see proposed:
Classic Shows:
Guys and Dolls
South Pacific
Mame
Gypsy
Singin’ in the Rain
Hot! Shows/or lesser known shows that deserve to be produced:
Urinetown
Working
Starmites
Assassins
Cabaret-style shows:
Jerry’s Girls
Stardust
Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris
The artistic directors will consider proposals for the above listed shows in addition to other productions of this nature that potential directors are passionate about.
MENTORSHIP:
FRC is committed to including and introducing new people into the theatre. Individuals with little or no experience in directing are encouraged to submit a personal proposal with a letter of intent, resume and any relevant theatre experience and may be considered for assistant director opportunities.
All proposals will be considered by the artistic directors, and recommendations will be put for to the FRC Board to be made official.
Thank you for your interest in Front Row Centre Players!

Chess

Passion. Espionage. A Love Triangle. A world on the brink of global crisis.
The Cold War rages and tensions mount as two champions meet across 64
squares where everything must be either black or white with a
beautiful woman standing between them; needed by one and loved by the
other.

Bangkok, when the world is watching and everything you value is at
stake, nobody is on nobody's side...
From the composers behind the rock superstars ABBA, Front Row Centre
presents this exciting epic battle for mastery in a world teetering on
the edge of chaos.
This game of Chess is no game.
