A great show coming together!



CAST:  For the opening number you will be wearing just regular clothes.  Dark pants or skirt (levis are ok as long as they are dark and are in GOOD condition) AND jewel toned shirts (think of deep pomegranate, evergreens, and blueberries). Stay away from large patterns....very small patterns might work.

2.  Starting Tuesday November 4 we ask that NO children are brought to rehearsal unless they are in the show.
 
3.  Those that have children in the show...YOU will be responsible to make sure they have something that will quietly occupy them during the rehearsal.  Please talk to them and make sure they understand that there will be no running around in the church and no playing in the cultural hall.
