For those of you who would like to put your creative minds and hands to work making the creepy, spooky characters that perform each night, come join our make-up team! Classes will be held at the Beaver Lake Lodge at 3:00 p.m. on October 18th and 19th. If you are interested in acting, too - don't worry! Make-Up classes won't interfere with actor training and you are more than welcome to do both! Classes are mandatory if you are interested in doing makeup. If you have any questions, please call me at (206) 229-3195.

| Security
Security’s responsibility is providing a safe environment for our staff and patrons. It takes a staff of many people to accomplish this. If you are required to remain on-site as the parent or guardian of a younger actor, working with Security can also provide you with a chance to see your young actor(s) at work. It is also an opportunity for those who would like to be involved in the show, but don’t want to act or do make-up, etc. These positions are open to adults and to those youth, ages 16 and 17, with permission of the Security Chair. Training is mandatory for this position. If you would like to participate, training will be offered immediately following Orientation on: Saturday, September 27, from 4-6:00 p.m. Training will also be offered on Saturday, October 18 from 11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. at Beaver Lake Lodge.

Casting Update
Michelle, Crystal, Laura, Keenon, Janet, Rebecca, Kissaundra, Kayla and I want to welcome you back. Our department could really use some extra help. If you are a parent or designated adult staying on-site with youth volunteers and are looking for a job to do, or an adult volunteer who hasn’t decided on how you’d like to help out during the show, Casting can use you. It’s good exercise and a great opportunity to see the show. You will also perform an important service to our actors. Please contact me at Renwickp@comcast.net for more information.

Special Effects Opportunity
Ever want to be a part of a medieval siege? If you are a mature, responsible adult, here is your chance to work with the trebuchet! For those of you unfamiliar with this exciting war machine, it was designed to launch stones that would smash the walls of a fortress during a siege attempt. Sound fun and exciting? Specialized training is required. If you are interested, contact
Curt Madden at curtmadden@aol.com for more information. |
| Hold Harmless Applications
Please remember that all volunteers working with the show need to complete a Hold Harmless Application yearly. If you have not already done so, we need yours. Applications will be available at the Kent workshop, Rotary meetings and at all trainings. If you have any questions, please contact our volunteer coordinator, Penny, at Renwickp@comcast.net. |

Here we are again. Another year has flown by, and soon it will be showtime. We can’t have a show each night without Casting, Food, Costumes, Make-up, Sets and much, much, more. Well, for the ones who don't know me, I am Pugsley: Head of the Wardrobe Dept. There are three of us that work in the Wardrobe Department – Raven, Hadijah and me, Pugsley. This year's theme is Renaissance - Medieval "Kings, Queens, Knights, and Peasants." And, that is where I need your help. We are looking for donations of any old, stained or ripped, peasant clothing for girls and boys (blouses, skirts) of any size and any color. Even if you can donate only one thing to wardrobe, it will be a great help. Thanks for giving us your time and helping make each year’s show better than the last. "See you all very soon."
Pugsley, Department Head for Wardrobe

Save your ½ Gallon and 2 liter plastic Bottles!!!!!
This year’s exciting special effect, the trebuchet, requires
a very large number of 2 liter pop bottles and ½ gallon plastic milk bottles
(all with caps!), so save all you can. If you have an “in” with your
local caffeine addict or barista, ask! |

Actors Needed!
What is a Haunt without actors? Not very interactive and nowhere near as much fun! It takes the coordination of set designers, builders and makeup artists to design a beautiful show; security and the kitchen to keep it alive and kicking - but without actors, it doesn’t come to life. Last year’s show was an incredible success. Let’s do our part to top it with an even more successful year! This year’s haunt is a totally different show. There will be several fun and exciting roles available for you to use to scare your friends and neighbors. Bring your friends, your family – anyone with a desire to SCARE – we need you.
Actor Training: Actors who have been with the show less than 2 years must attend at least one beginning actor training class. Advanced training is available and recommended for all experienced actors. We strongly encourage new actors who are motivated to try more challenging roles, to attend at least one advanced actor training class. The advanced training will again focus on the specific characteristics desired for this year’s show.
All Actor Trainings will be held at Beaver Lake Lodge. Beginning Acting: Saturday, 10/18: 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. Sunday, 10/19: 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. Monday, 10/20: 6 - 9:00 p.m. Advanced Acting: Sunday, 10/19: 11:00 a.m. – noon Monday, 10/20: 6 - 7:00 p.m.
All actors (new and returning) should submit your schedules during one of the acting classes
