The Last Three Weeks of Musical Are Here!

Hey there fellow cast, crew, and anyone else who checks this blog! This is your crab, Daniel Rodriguez. Can you believe three weeks from today is strike? We've only got two-and-a-half weeks until Dinner Theater. And, this Saturday, we've got the Under The Sea Breakfast, followed by a rehearsal. We've got a lot to prepare, and a lot to do, before our first performance, but we can do it!
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!

From, Daniel Rodriguez

Friday is Cancelled, But Saturday's Still On

Hey cast. In respect to the tragedy that we all faced today, we did not have rehearsal today. We will still be having Set and Costume building Saturday, so please be there tomorrow. If you don't know what we'll be working on, go ahead and look at the list posted earlier in the week, but other things we will also be working on is finishing Sebastian's costume, as well as Jellyfish (along with anything else Gorman and Scott told us Tuesday that I can't remember).
So, please be here tomorrow from 9am - 3pm so we can get everything done to get our show to the pristine condition it deserves!
That's it from me, have a great night, and see you all tomorrow.

From, Daniel Rodriguez
