This packet provides all the information you need to know to decide if you would like to be a part of this exciting production.
Thanks for reading and we look forward to bringing this classic Broadway musical to life with you all!
EVERY student, returning or new, must have one parent attend this mandatory meeting on Monday, July 15th, 7:00-7:30. It is IMPERATIVE that a parent attend so we can give you all the important info you need! If a parent does not attend this meeting, their child will be dropped from the show, unless prior arrangements have been made.
All rehearsals will be held at Rhythms Performing Arts (1114 First Street, Novato) until July 29th when we will move to Novato Theater Company Theater 5420 Nave Drive for tech week. Tech week rehearsals are MANDATORY - there can be no conflicts with these rehearsal dates.
We are planning 4 performances of Legally Blonde.
All actors will be called during all rehearsals. There will be some downtime for hanging out and having summer fun!
All shows are MANDATORY and students may not miss them for any reason except illness or family emergency. Students will be called between 1.5-2 hours before showtime for each performance.
After the final Sunday performance the cast will have a 45 minute strike to help pack and clean the theater. Then they will all get to stay for the cast party at the theater.
There are many things to do to put together a show, and therefore we ask for a parent volunteer from each family to fulfill TWO volunteer positions. However if this is not convenient for you, you have the option to pay the opt out fee of $40. Certain positions require expertise in a field (set, costumes, etc.) and most just require your time (backstage parent supervision, etc). Most jobs will require about 2 hours of work. If you LOVE volunteering or have a special skill that might be helpful, please email us.
We will have the volunteer list ready at our required parent meeting and at that time you can choose your position or pay the opt-out fee.
It is very important that we can communicate quickly with parents and students. We send out fairly frequent emails with calendar updates and other reminders.
We also use a group text app called GroupMe. We ask that students and parents download this app BEFORE our first rehearsal. (It is free in the app store). Then we will add you to our conversation and you will receive an invite on your phone. On the app you have the power to turn off notifications so it won’t drive you nuts. Plus, we will put the parents into a separate group from the students so the constant texts from the kids won’t make you crazy! Don’t worry, the kids chat will still be monitored by the directors! The app doesn’t give out your phone number to anyone but allows you to communicate with anyone in the group. We HIGHLY recommend using the app to stay in the know! We usually are able to respond faster to these group texts than emails or phone calls.
The Legally Blonde production costs $525, or $500 if you register before May 1. Your Rhythms account will be charged the full amount when you enroll. You must pay before our first rehearsal on July 15th or your child will be dropped from the production. You can pay by check, cash or credit card. We are not able to give refunds.
Your Production Fee includes your script and show t-shirt.
Parts of your costume will also be included, though we will ask each actor to provide some parts of their costume which we will discuss at the parent meeting.
We will start off with a quick dance and vocal warm-up. Then we will review the audition dance and perform it in small groups. Then each person will get a chance to go up one at a time and perform one song and two monologues of their choice (from the options handed out at the workshop). We may give you some feedback and ask you to do your scene one more time.
Callbacks are a chance for us to have actors try a couple specific parts that we think they would be good at. Everyone will get a callback. We will email you after auditions and let you know which parts you are called back for and give you some additional music or scenes to rehearse.
Auditioning is always nerve-racking. Just remember it’s okay to make mistakes or forget what you’re saying. We want you to succeed and are rooting for you to do your best, so let us know if you’re nervous so we can help you through it! We HIGHLY encourage everyone to audition - even if they are nervous. It is your first chance to get to know your fellow cast members. It is also very hard for us to cast someone in a fun part when we haven’t seen them in auditions.
Will everyone be in the play?
Will there be double casting?
Double casting is when two different actors are cast in the same role. They share performances so one actor will play the part in half the shows and the other actor plays the exact same part in the other half of performances. We will double cast some roles and will decide which roles to double after auditions.
Do I have to memorize my audition scene?
If you want to memorize your scene, that’s great! But it’s totally okay if you have your script in your hand during your audition.
Speak loudly and clearly. Act out the part with your body. Make a choice about your character – for example if you think Margot has a squeaky voice or Callahan has a funny walk, try it during your scene. Have fun and be confident! The more fun you bring to each character, the more excited your directors will be!
How do I get ready for auditions?
Practice your scene. Read it with your parents, your friends, your dog and by yourself. Look up any words you don’t understand. Practice the song of your choice.
Which scene should I practice?
You can practice as many as you’d like. Pick scenes that have situations or characters that are interesting to you. Everyone needs to perform at least one scene.
How do you know which roles I want to play?
On your audition form you can indicate which characters you are most interested in. Even if you don’t read for all of the characters, Kate and Amanda will know which parts you like.
Will I get to play a part I like?
Everyone will get a part that has lots to do. The more parts you put down on your paper, the better the chance you’ll get to play something you requested. You may get a part that you don’t even know about. Amanda and I sometimes write in roles for students who we think need to be featured in a special way and don’t fit into one of the other roles. So, give your part a chance! We can’t all play the title character.
By opening night, you will LOVE your character and be so excited to play the part. We try our best to make each part special and fun.
The character that I want to play doesn’t have a scene listed. What should I do?
We’ll only see a few scenes at auditions. Pick one or more of these ones to perform, and you’ll also have a chance to tell Kate and Amanda what other characters you’d like to play.
What if I have a friend who wants to audition but couldn’t come to the workshop?
When will I find out what part I got?
We will email you by Friday, June 14th to tell you what part you will be playing.

Get ready for an awesome broadway experience!
As we get started on a new show of Rhythm & Rhyme Productions, we wanted to review the things that are most important to us as directors and let you all know what we hope your children will get out of being in the show.
The reason we (Amanda and Kate, the directors) love working together is we have the same philosophy about teaching: to provide a positive and warm environment for students to learn, express, and push themselves forward. We pride ourselves on giving kids a second place to call home. We try to be great role models in being kind, caring, and respectful of others. This is the most important thing to us because when you have those things, we find that we get the most out of the kids artistically as well.
Here’s a couple other ways you as parents can help us to help us create the environment we want and that you want for your children: please encourage your kids to build one another up, be inclusive, and be optimistic about the show. If they do have concerns that come up, please encourage them to discuss it with one of us. We will help, but only if we know about what is going on.
We are lucky to have amazing helpers that act as student assistant directors. We always choose high schoolers who are great role models for our actors. If your child has a problem or concern or need extra help on something from the show, they can also speak to these girls about it.
We are looking forward to a fantastic and positive semester with your kids. Musicals have made such a huge difference in our lives - they have helped us become confident, outgoing, team-oriented, and hard working; they also helped us build lifelong friendships. We hope that your kids experience those same feelings while participating in our musical.
Casting is a difficult process. Here are some thoughts and guidelines we want to share with you about how we approach casting.
Generally, we see casting as a “matching” of an actor’s abilities and talents to produce the very best show that we can.
We are directing musicals. The production numbers are the show-stoppers of musicals. Therefore, the music and dance are the most important elements to us. The students cast in the chorus represent the largest and most important parts of our shows. We also work very hard to give every student a special moment in the show, whether it be a featured dance part, a solo, or a funny line to make the audience laugh.
As to the principal roles, of which there are relatively few in any show, we cast them on the basis of the level of excitement, interest, humor, confidence and just plain stage presence that we see at the audition. These roles are never pre-cast. Nor are they “earned” by being in previous shows, taking private lessons, or enrolling in lots of Rhythms classes. The people who get those principal roles must be able to hold the audience’s interest on their own or the show will die when they are on stage alone.
We give these roles to the actors who show us what they can do that in the audition. What we see is what they get. We cannot rely on prior knowledge or experience with a given actor because there are just too many surprises, particularly with children whose personalities and attitudes change so quickly. The auditions also show us how prepared an actor will be at coming rehearsals. By being well prepared for auditions, actors can show us their work ethic as well as their excitement and interest in that particular show they are auditioning for.
Theater and musicals in particular are an ensemble effort. Everyone is equally involved in the creating and performing of a musical. Everyone is equally deserving of the credit and praise of a show well done.
It is our job, as the directors, to create the very best show possible and therefore cast who we feel will help create the level of performance that we are after.
We hope these thoughts have given you an idea of how we work, and particularly how we cast.

text: Treasury Market Outlook: bond yields are cheaper, while U.S. equities most European bourses are posting modest gains after a mixed session for Asian shares. The Gilt is underperforming core sovereigns, up 2.5 bps at 1.241%, with the Bund up 2.3 bps at 0.087% (there was strong demand for the 30-year auction). The 10-year Treasury is 1.8 bps higher at 2.60%. U.S. equity futures and European shares are 0.1% to 0.3% firmer. Chinese markets closed with modest gains despite bullish data on Q1 GDP, production and retail sales. There were a variety of cross currents. Along with the Chinese data, Eurozone inflation data were a little weaker than expected, which capped bond rates, while trade and current account numbers showed diverging trends. Germany cut its growth forecast to 0.5% for the year. U.S. futures are adding to gains after Morgan Stanley beat, after disappointing Netflix news late yesterday. Today's U.S. slate has February trade, and wholesale data, and weekly oil inventories. The MBA reported mortgage applications fell 3.5% in the April 12 week. There is the Beige Book for the April 30-May 1 FOMC, along with Fedspeak from Harker and Bullard, with NY Fed's senior VP Lorie Logan at the Money Marketeers after the close. There are a number of earnings reports still with Abbott Labs, Bank of New York Mellon, E*TRADE, Ericsson, Kinder Morgan, Pepsico, Textron, and U.S. Bancorp.

The Future Earth cluster on “Global Biodiversity Monitoring, Prediction and Reporting” aims to provide a forum for interdisciplinary research activities and scientific questions associated with globally integrated monitoring and assessment of biodiversity (species, populations, traits). Its goal is to bring together observational, conservation, remote sensing and modeling communities concerned with spatio-temporally explicit biodiversity and environmental data to consider the elements and development of a scientifically sound and global biodiversity monitoring system.
Facilitate, and create standards and infrastructure for collaborative global spatio-temporal biodiversity and ecosystem function monitoring, data harmonization and integration, prediction, reporting and visualization.
Identify (temporal, spatial and taxonomic) gaps in data collection efforts.
Document the connection between environmental and biological variation and how it affects spatio-temporal patterns and change in ecosystems, biological communities, species, populations, traits and genetic patterns.
Develop and provide integrated knowledge products (e.g. map layers, biodiversity trends) to support the various global monitoring initiatives (e.g. GEOSS, GEO BON), assessment mechanisms (e.g. IPBES, CBD, IPCC), and Future Earth projects.
Collaboratively advance Future Earth cross-cutting capabilities “Observing Systems” and “Data Systems”.
Capture, report and predict ongoing changes of different biodiversity attributes (including functional diversity derived from ecosystem models) under global environmental change and contribute to assessing the resulting consequences for ecosystem function and service provision.

"I attended the recent Summit on Best Practices in Valuing Intellectual Property. Challenged with making IP Valuation Standards sound interesting to a US audience, my good friend Thayne Forbes and I had accepted the kind invitation from Business Valuation Resources to present an international perspective at Morningstar’s Headquarters in Chicago.
Mike Pellegrino (President, Pellegrino & Associates, LLC) provided excellent opening remarks and gave a very reasoned argument for why Google paid far too much for YouTube’s brand, domain name and software platform, and failed the reasonableness test.
Anxious as to how the US audience would take to the new ISO 10668:2010 Brand Valuation Standards, Thayne explained the differences and similarities between the different IP Valuation standards that are being developed or are in preparation.
It has to be said that that the approach to valuing intangible assets in the Accounting Standards such as IFRS and US GAAP are essentially the same, but currently there is only a requirement from these standards to place a value on intangible assets in the company accounts if those assets are the result of an acquisition.
Accountants and the like, therefore, have a different perspective on Valuing IP compared to those of us with technology or brand investment and development in mind.
The new developments from the International Valuation Standards Council are however starting to move the debate forward beyond the accounting profession. It was a shame that the IVSC declined to talk about their proposed Standards at the Summit, especially as they published an exposure draft and collated feedback on 3 September. For those interested though, a rustling of the pages to No 79 will reveal a whole standard for valuing intangible assets, separating IP from goodwill. These apply to any business and are proposed to come into force in 2011. The standards define the principal classes of intangible assets in an interesting way for the IP non-expert: market-related (such as trade marks, domain names and non-compete agreements), customer- or supplier-related, technology-related and artistic-related. The standards then recognize the three principal approaches of Direct Market Comparison, Income and Cost for valuing intangibles. Essentially, as long as the valuation is carried out by a suitably qualified person who takes a reasoned position, making his/her assumptions clear, our view is that while the Standards are not very specific, covering them off will provide a framework for a robust valuation.
While my job was to report on the development of Valuation Standards at the Summit , I couldn’t leave without a comment on the really good presentation of Navigating US legal minefields in IP valuation from Lisa Brownlee and Jimmy Nguyen. The In re Bilski decision of the Supreme Court has secured value in many business method patents, but futher decisions are also having a strong influence on other IP valuations. Microsoft v i4i, Costco v Omega and HydramediaCorp. v. Hydra Media Group Inc. (here) all impact on the valuation of patents and trade marks, but the cases that took my fancy were those on false markings. Stimulated by Pequignot v. Solo Cup Co, where 300 complaints from the US public were made about the 21 billion cup lids that had been stamped with an expired patent number and the public claimed damages of $500 per event of mismarking, the number of cases for false markings are running amock! A list of False Marking cases of quite considerable length is found here.
"Did the district court clearly err when it denied [defendant's] motion to dismiss Relator's false patent marking case for failure to plead supporting factual allegation sufficient to infer an intent to deceive under this Court's precedent in Pequignot v. Solo Cup Co., 608 F.3d 1356 and Exergen Corp. v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., 575 F.3d 1312?"
The Federal Circuit has now ordered the plaintiff to respond to the mandamus petition within 14 days. A pdf copy of the petition can be found here. A copy of the Federal Circuit's order can be found here.

"Implementing point of care "e-referrals" in 137 clinics to increase ac" by Rajani S. Sadasivam, Timothy P. Hogan et al.
Integrating electronic referral systems into clinical practices may increase use of web-accessible tobacco interventions. We report on our feasibility evaluation of using theory-driven implementation science techniques to translate an e-referral system (ReferASmoker.org) into the workflow of 137 community-based medical and dental practices, including system use, patient registration, implementation costs, and lessons learned. After 6 months, 2,376 smokers were e-referred (medical, 1,625; dental, 751). Eighty-six percent of the medical practices [75/87, mean referral = 18.7 (SD = 17.9), range 0-105] and dental practices [43/50, mean referral = 15.0 (SD = 10.5), range 0-38] had e-referred. Of those smokers e-referred, 25.3 registered [mean smoker registration rate-medical 4.9 (SD = 7.6, range 0-59), dental 3.6 (SD = 3.0, range 0-10)]. Estimated mean implementation costs are medical practices, US$429.00 (SD = 85.3); and dental practices, US$238.75 (SD = 13.6). High performing practices reported specific strategies to integrate ReferASmoker.org; low performers reported lack of smokers and patient disinterest in the study. Thus, a majority of practices e-referred and 25.3 % of referred smokers registered demonstrating e-referral feasibility. However, further examination of the identified implementation barriers is important as of the estimated 90,000 to 140,000 smokers seen in the 87 medical practices in 6 months, only 1,625 were e-referred.

Icons have become a mainstay for interacting with the world around us, and have become especially prevalent in business technology. We see these pictorial representations on computers, phones, signage, and a variety of other items every single day. Icons are meant to fit seamlessly into the environment around you, providing easy access to the things and information you need the most. As usability becomes a key differentiator when building applications for the enterprise, the proper design and implementation of icons is key. Here are five importance considerations when designing icons.
When you sit down to create (or choose) icons, you should always consider the final outcome first. Will it be used in an app? In a (responsive) website? Will it be printed? Perhaps it will be used in more than one of these situations? The place(s) an icon will be seen are important to take into account since it will save you the time and hassle of reformatting or reworking your icons later.
Once you have your final format in mind, you can start making considerations on what kind of process you will use to create and save your icons. Some of the common formats you can look into include images (such as JPEGs or PNGs), vector based formats (like glyph fonts and SVGs), and ICO files. Each of these has its uses and its drawbacks, so I would recommend doing some research into what would work best for your needs. If you are designing for a mobile ecosystem, try looking at the styling guidelines for the OS. Android, Apple, and Microsoft all have some excellent tips and resources.
Scale is important for a lot of reasons, but mainly it’s important to determine the level of detail that you’ll be able to include. You should always design for the smallest possible size that the icon will viewed at. The smaller the intended size, the less detail you will be able to show clearly. If you try and put a bunch of detail into a very small icon, you may make it harder to recognize.
If you are designing for a responsive or mobile device, you should also remember that people will need to be able to touch your icon with their fingers. Most sources recommend a minimum area of 44pts x 44pts, but the larger the icon is the less trouble the users will have in selecting what they intend to touch.
You’ll probably notice that even though the styling may differ, a lot of the icons used have a common root (for instance, the use of a floppy disc for save). These familiar shapes allow users to easily recognize and interact with icons. Since users have become accustom to seeing certain icons, deviating from those commonly-accepted shapes can be incredibly frustrating to users. This isn’t a hard and fast rule, but you should make sure that the pay-off for using a non-standard icon significantly outweighs the risk you take deviating from the norm.
The image of the lock on the left is one of the most popular choices for ‘lock’ or ‘security’ icons. Keys also pertain to locks, but it’s more difficult to differentiate this icon from its other uses (key icons are sometimes used for passcodes or the security measures needed to lock or unlock something).
So now that you have your format, scale, and icon ideas chosen, you need to make sure that they look consistent as a set. Even the most well thought out icons suffer when one or two variants stick out from the rest. Line weight, fill, color, and graphical style all play a big role in a set looking cohesive.
Take this set of icons below- you’ll notice a few icons that stick out from the set as a whole.
The coffee cup doesn’t follow the same dark on light convention, the strawberry has dimension and gradient which isn’t present elsewhere, the donuts lines are thicker than any others are, and the apple is a hollowed icon.
You’ll notice the set here looks significantly more consistent. All icons are dark on light, the majority of the icon is ”filled” (filled icons may have some hollow elements, but the majority of the icon itself is filled), and the line thicknesses are consistent across the board.
Make sure your icons play nicely with one another for a consistent, cohesive look.
The overall style you choose for your set should be based on the system in which it’s being used. Even the most elegant of icon sets will look out of place if it doesn’t match the setting. For instance, the heavily treated icons look out of place in the super modern look of the background on the left, and look much more at home on the right. This is a very extreme example, but icons designed with the style of the system as a whole will be more successful.
These five considerations are just a small part of designing a successful icon. If you are developing an application, website, or signage that use icons, I would suggest looking a good hard look at them. Do they really mean what you want them to mean? Do they fit in with the rest of the system? Are they the right size and consistent throughout? Make sure your icons add to your user’s experience.

The Byzantine Creation Era, also "Creation Era of Constantinople," or "Era of the World" (Greek: Έτη Γενέσεως Κόσμου κατά 'Ρωμαίους also Έτος Κτίσεως Κόσμου or Έτος Κόσμου ) was the Calendar officially used by the Eastern Orthodox Church from ca. AD 691 to 1728 in the Ecumenical Patriarchate, by the Byzantine Empire from AD 988 to 1453, and in Russia from ca. AD 988 to 1700.
Derived from the Septuagint version of the Bible, it placed the date of creation at 5,509 years before the Incarnation, and was characterized by a certain tendency which had already been a tradition amongst Hebrews and Jews to number the years from the foundation of the world (Latin: Annus Mundi/Ab Origine Mundi [AM]). Its year one, the supposed date of creation, was September 1, 5509 BC to August 31, 5508 BC.

When it comes to choosing furniture pieces for a living room, it’s important to put the size of the room in mind before deciding on some pieces of furniture. If the room is big, it’s wise to choose a piece of furniture that’s quite big in size and it’s totally okay to pick an oversized piece like, for example, an oversized couch.

On May 30, 2018, Illinois became the 37th state to ratify the 1972 Equal Rights Amendment. We now only need one more state to ratify the ERA for it to be adopted into the U.S. Constitution. Meet the woman who is leading the charge to ensure her state of Virginia ushers in this landmark change, making women’s equality law nationwide.
By Kati Hornung – When my older daughter was about ten, she asked me WHY the women’s movement had not yet achieved the Equal Rights Amendment in the Constitution. As she saw it, nearly one hundred years was plenty of time, so why wasn’t it done?
I didn’t have a wise or insightful answer so I said, “That is a great question. What do you think?” Her answer took my breath away: riots. Women have not yet rioted.
My entire peaceful journey as her mother flashed before my eyes. I wondered whether I would, in making a split-second decision with our civil rights on the line, join my daughter in a riot or stay on the sidelines so I could bail her out of jail? This is not the sort of thing I ever thought I would ponder as a mother.
After some discussion we settled on a more likely reason the women’s movement had not yet achieved the Equal Rights Amendment: allies. The women’s movement does not need riots, it needs more allies.
If Virginia’s Republican leadership mistakenly believes civil rights are a partisan issue, then the best thing our campaign can do is to ensure they hear from plenty of voters who identify as Republicans.
For too long the Equal Rights Amendment ratification effort in Virginia has been largely championed by women, and more specifically, by liberal, white women.
If, as my daughter and I believe, allies are the key to a ratification victory then a primary function of our 2019 VAratifyERA campaign must be to encourage and elevate the voices of important allies: Republicans, men, and women of color.
When the Equal Rights Amendment was ratified in 1972 the Republican party led the charge. Unfortunately, here in Virginia during the 2018 session it was also Republican leadership that kept the Equal Rights Amendment from a vote, which would have passed easily.
If Virginia’s Republican leadership mistakenly believes civil rights are a partisan issue, then the best thing our campaign can do is to ensure they hear from plenty of voters who identify as Republicans. There is widespread support for the Equal Rights Amendment among Republicans, around 90% nationally according to a 2015 poll. When I speak with Republican neighbors, friends, and colleagues they are dismayed to hear Virginia’s party leadership has not yet embraced gender equality in the Constitution.
So we will encourage them to raise their voices in support of the Equal Rights Amendment. In addition to elevating Republican voices to Republican leadership we will also go out of our way to include and celebrate supportive men. Men have always been important to the women’s movement. We envision a men’s campaign focused on education, outreach, and cultivation of male allies.
Most importantly, the allies needed by our VAratifyERA campaign are women of color. For too long, white women have ignored the racism of the suffrage movement. Ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment will be a hollow victory unless women of color are involved and celebrated.
Ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment will be a hollow victory unless women of color are involved and celebrated.
As heirs of the suffragists, we cannot afford to ignore their troubling exclusion of women of color. We celebrate Alice Paul for her courageous work for women’s right to vote and for authoring the Equal Rights Amendment, but we cannot ignore her mishandling of the 1913 march by not allowing women of color to participate.
Despite her Quaker upbringing she designed the 1913 march as a whites-only parade. Although she was forced to include women of color in the final days of her preparations, only 43 women of color joined a march of an estimated 8,000.
The telling of historical truths and recognition of injustices must be a part of our country’s path forward. Let that begin with our campaign and in paying tribute to the 22 founding members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority for showing up to take their place in history, whether or not they were invited.
Similarly, women of Virginia are showing up and taking their rightful place in our legislative branch, whether or not they were invited. During the past session Virginia’s legislative branch finally hit the 25% mark for women legislators. The House of Delegates went from around 10% to 25% with just one election. It is just a matter of time before the handful of white, male, Republican leaders… are women.
Given the surge in political interest among women, it is possible a group of primarily liberal, white women could facilitate Virginia’s ratification alone. However, by including everyone in the negotiation of Virginia’s values, we move the state forward in a way that could be very healing, particularly in these polarized, partisan times.
We should ratify the Equal Rights Amendment together as one Virginia: bipartisan, with male allies, and by celebrating women of color. If we’re going to do this, let’s do it the right way. Together.
The VAratifyERA campaign launches today, August 26th, Women’s Equality Day. In eight venues around the state, supportive legislators are hosting celebrations of women and equality. For more information, please visit VAratifyERA.org.
Kati Hornung is a 4th generation (at least!) Republican leading the nonpartisan VAratifyERA campaign to ensure Virginia is the 38th state to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. By day, Kati is a software consultant, wife to an amazing husband, and homeschool mama to her two daughters who inspire her daily.
What’s the Deal With the Women’s Equality Party?
