Practice Days

Hi All,

So to clarify the requirements for rehearsals.

Monday and Wednesday are for the entire cast and Tuesday and Thursday are for principals and spot work.  Therefore you should be at practice every Monday and Wednesday and come the other two days if you are told to do so by Paul.

May 1st all four days are required until closing.

I hope this helps.

DVD and CD

Hi Everyone,

   We're looking at getting DVD's and CD's to you before Spring break.  My apologies for the delay but Bob is catching up on work and will be taking some time off (a vacation!) too, so we'll just have to wait.

  I would be nice to get everyone together and watch the tape as a group.  If any of you have a suggestion of a space we could use for that, please let me know.  I can always ask the school if we can view it there.

All the best!

Costume Returns

Thank you to everyone who has already returned their costumes to East or West Sylvan. 

If you still need to return a costume the rack is still outside the drama room door and I'll clear it on Friday.

If you drop off clothes at East, please let me know so they're not getting in Louise's way.

All the best,
Elaine
