[Nstc] Zoom play reminder!

[nstcbbt at zianet.com]

Hi,

Thanks to those of you who have already made reservations for "The Meaning  
of Life" a new play by William Missouri Downs! I have confirmed each  
reservation that I have received.

We have produced five of his plays, "Cockeyed," "Mad Gravity," "Seagulls in  
a Cherry Tree," "Headsets: A View from the Light Booth," and most recently  
"How to Survive Your Family at Christmas." Bill wrote "The Meaning of Life"  
to be presented by ZOOM. He has generously given us permission to present  
his play.

The play is directed by Joshua Taulbee and stars Teddy Aspen-Sanchez, Scott  
Brocato, Debbie Jo Felix, Rachel Thomas-Chappell, and Luz Resendez, each  
playing two different characters all trying to find the meaning of life in  
absurd and comic situations.

We wanted to give you another opportunity to make your reservations if you  
haven't done so already. Mike Cook is planning a big story on  the play in  
this Friday's Bulletin. The number of attendees is limited to 100. With the  
reservations we currently have and the places we have put aside for the  
actors, director, producer, and support staff, that leaves about 50 places  
remaining at each performance.

There will be two performances, the first on Friday, June 19, and the  
second on Saturday, June 20, both at 8:00 p.m. Because you are providing  
your own seats at home, you will need only one reservation no matter how  
many are watching.

To make a reservation, you will need to reply to this e-mail, rather than  
phoning the theatre as we have limited office hours right now. It will be  
easier for us if you put RESERVATION JUNE (either 19th or 20th) in your  
subject heading in replying. Also please give us your preferred e-mail  
address, if different from the one at which you received this e-mail. About  
10 to 15 minutes before the start time you will receive an e-mail from the  
theatre inviting you to join the join the Performance.

We have had a few questions about what your set up needs to be to watch the  
performance. If you do not have ZOOM on your computer, when you click on  
the link, it will ask if you want it. Say Yes and follow the install  
instructions. At the bottom of the screen when you connect, put your cursor  
down there, and you will see a list of choices of things to do. Click on  
the microphone to silence it and the camera to turn it off. If your  
computer has neither a camera or microphone, you don't need to do this.

If you are unable to "attend" either performance, Bill is allowing us to  
post a recording of it on a secure, password protected website for a  
limited time. We will make the user name and password available to our  
mailing list at a later date.

We are providing this production for free, but donations to the theatre are  
always welcome. Donations can be mailed to us at:
