The Women of Check Please! Festival Schedule
March 4th - 11th, 2017
Thank you for your interest and enthusiasm! Here’s the schedule for activities.
All content creation challenges are open not just for fic writers but for ALL artists. If you make paintings, comics, moodboard, playlists, edits, videos, poems, sculptures, needlepoint, digital art, music, whatever, we want to see it all! Anyone can participate, as long as the works are central to the nice ladies over in the Check Please! universe.
Here’s a list of women in canon: Lardo, Camilla, Caitlin, Alicia, Suzanne, Georgia, Mandy, Jenny, March, April, Camilla, Kate, Samantha, Esther S, Professor Atley and Johnson’s mysterious girlfriend. And as for canon sisters -- Ransom is the middle child with two sisters, and Holster is the oldest with two sisters, while Nursey has an older sister and Chowder has a younger one.
**If you’re a TERF, this festival isn’t for you. Don’t reblog this. Don’t participate. Fuck off.

We love @ngoziu!! She spends so much time and effort to give us a thoughtful, beautiful, heart-warming and funny story. So it’s time to thank her! How about some posts and drawings to celebrate N?
What does Check Please! mean to you? Why do you love it? Why does it inspire you? Why does Ngozi inspire you? Just a few questions that could spark your reflection.

Friendship Day
Aw! A day for appreciating friendships between women (and women-aligned people), whether that’s in Check Please! or in fandom or in real life.
Post your art and fics that celebrate the awesome women in the comic.
Send a message to a woman (or woman-aligned person) you admire and tell them why!
Talk about a woman who’s changed your life for the better -- someone you look up to, someone who’s a role model or mentor to you.
Don’t forget to add your works to the omgcpwomenfest collection on ao3 if posting there, or tagging them with #omgcpwomenfest on tumblr!
Post Your Selfie Day
Are you a woman or a woman-aligned person in the Check Please! fandom and feel comfortable showing us your face? Share a selfie!
Make sure you specify if it’s okay or not to reblog your selfie.
If you do see a selfie that is okay to reblog, why not reblog it with a compliment?
Woman of the day: Suzanne Bittle!
Thursday, March 9th
Small Gifts Day
Don’t have time for a fully fleshed out fic or an intricate piece of artwork that’ll take hours? No worries. Thursday is dedicated to drabbles, quick sketches, and anything else you have just a little bit of time for.
Need somewhere to start? Let me know and I’ll give you a couple prompt words -- write a couple sentences for each prompt, or 100 words, or give yourself 15 minutes to work on a sketch and post what you have.
Reblog the omgcpwomenfest ask meme and encourage others to reblog it too -- and ask each other questions!
Make sure to properly tag your works if NSFW.
Don’t forget to add your works to the omgcpwomenfest collection on ao3 if posting there, or tagging them with #omgcpwomenfest on tumblr!
Woman of the day: Georgia Martin!
Friday, March 10th
Original Female Character Day
Time to talk about your OFCs! Or create one? Hmm...
If you’re not really sure where to start, there are some canon characters you could probably take and put your own spin on: Kate and Samantha are Jack’s ex-whatevers, then there’s the infamous Esther Shapiro, and Johnson’s girlfriend who was mentioned in one tweet freshman year...
If you wish to incorporate others’ OFCs in your works, PLEASE ask first and credit properly.
Make sure to properly tag your works if NSFW.
Don’t forget to add your works to the omgcpwomenfest collection on ao3 if posting there, or tagging them with #omgcpwomenfest on tumblr!
Women of the day: March and April!
Saturday, March 11th
Anything Goes Day
Need a prompt? Let me know and I’ll find something for you!
Make sure to properly tag your works if NSFW.
Don’t forget to add your works to the omgcpwomenfest collection on ao3 if posting there, or tagging them with #omgcpwomenfest on tumblr!
Closing Ceremonies
Go through this blog, the ao3 collection, and the #omgcpwomenfest tag and comment on at least 5 things you haven’t commented on before. The goal is to leave love, kudos, feedback and appreciation to the creators who worked so hard to produce content for the festival.
Women of the day: Mandy and Jenny!
My name is Karo and I’m your host for the week -- but just that! The success of this festival depends on the participation of this fandom, and I know we can make it awesome. If you think you might want to host an event (a chat, a game, a contest, a movie, anything) let me know and I’ll add it to the schedule. The goal is to get as many people as possible to participate -- not just content creators.
Any questions can be directed to this blog. Please indicate if you don’t want to me to publish the answer publicly.
Don’t forget to tag any and all posts about the festival with #omgcpwomenfest (and if you can, mention this blog in the post) and I’ll reblog as much as I can (though I will be on vacation the 10th and 11th, so it might get a little spotty those two days).
Aside from that --
Happy Festival!

OPEN CALL FOR MALE AND FEMALE SINGERS
Monday, April 3rd, 2017

Pearl Studios
500 8th Avenue, 4th Floor

You must arrive at least 15 minutes before your time slot to check-in. If all slots are filled, please arrive at 9am on the day of the audition and sign up on the provided alternate list. ALTERNATES WILL BE SEEN as long as time permits.
PREPARATION:
Please prepare 16 bars of a LEGIT TRADITIONAL MUSICAL THEATRE SONG. Absolutely no contemporary musical theatre or pop/rock. Bring sheet music in the correct key with cuts clearly marked. Accompanist will be provided. Please bring a headshot & resume, stapled together.
CASTING DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT: We are seeking all ethnicities, types, and genders for all roles. Where gender-specific pronouns are used, they are used to describe the gender identity/presentation of the characters and not the gender of the actors playing those characters. We welcome and encourage actors to audition and/or submit without regard to ethnicity, type, ability, or gender.
SEEKING THE FOLLOWING ROLES ONLY:
ELLA (Seeking understudy only): 20's. ANY ETHNICITY. Beautiful and expressive traditional musical theatre soprano mix. An elegant dancer, she must have strong dance and partnering skills and great comedic timing. Though no one notices her beneath her rags and quiet demeanor, she is opinionated, charismatic, passionate, funny, and effortlessly beautiful. Idealistic and hopeful, she courageously challenges the prince to change the policies in his kingdom – and helps him discover who he truly is. Always her late father’s daughter, she is determined to see the good in everyone despite her hardships and suffering. We see her blossom into a confident woman.
TOPHER (Seeking understudy only): 20's. ANY ETHNICITY. Soaring, rich musical theatre baritone to a G. Must have strong dance and partnering skills and great comedic timing. A misguided and lost prince who longs to do something important with his life. Though brave and heroic, he feels lonely and unfulfilled. Charming but NOT a stereotypical ladies man, he is thoughtful, appealing, and innocent – with an unforced goofy streak. Moral, genuine, and kindhearted, he is at a crossroads and must take control of his kingdom and his future.
MADAME: Plays 40's to 60's. ANY ETHNICITY. Ella’s selfish stepmother. The epitome of vanity and fashion. A ravenous social climber who values wealth, status, and material possessions above all else. Unapologetically dismissive and sometimes cruel, Madame schemes her way up the social ladder. Must have incredible comic timing. Traditional musical theatre character voice.
GABRIELLE: 20’s. ANY ETHNICITY. Must be funny and offbeat and have great comic timing. Strong and expressive traditional musical theatre voice. Ella’s stepsister and daughter of Madame. Encouraged by her mother and sister to value material wealth and social status, she unenthusiastically joins them in their abrasive behavior. She has always followed rules but her awkward exterior hides a fiery revolutionary spirit. Passionate, empathetic, and witty, she is drawn to Ella and Jean-Michel. Ironically aware that she doesn’t fit in with her family.
DANCERS WHO SING WELL: 20s-30s, ALL ETHNICITIES, all genders. Must be elegant dancers with solid ballet technique for extensive partnering and lifts. Strong singers who can handle multiple vocal parts. Also seeking principal covers and swings.
Please note: If you have a disability and would like to request reasonable accommodations, please let us know prior to the auditions.
