The Last Three Weeks of Musical Are Here!
DO NOT FORGET, WE HAVE REHEARSAL TONIGHT. EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE THERE NO LATER THAN 6, AND WE WILL END AROUND 10, GIVE-OR-TAKE. Certain people will be performing in their costumes today (myself included), so please prepare to wear your costumes today. Dress accordingly.
We need stuff! We have a lot of props and pieces that need to be brought in, and only a few things have been brought in so far. So, please, if you have anything that you think we could possibly use, bring it in! If you ever happen to forget what all is needed, go to the Props/Set Pieces page on this blog and follow the link.
People with leading roles, don't forget, you'll need to be here early Saturday to get your costume and make-up on.
Lastly, Mrs. Gorman hasn't posted a schedule yet, nor has she told me it in advance, so just assume you're here for two-a-days all week, until otherwise told tonight.
That's it from me, see y'all tonight!
