REHEARSALS EXTENDED!!!


Dear Parents-

We have 4 rehearsals left until our Performance Week. It is CRUNCH TIME!! We are VERY excited to show you what we have been working on!!

We have decided to extend our next 4 rehearsals by 30 minutes because we NEED the extra time to cover EVERYTHING! We hope you can make this adjustment in your schedules. ALL CAST need to be at ALL rehearsals from here on out. 

It may be a good idea to send some activities for your child to do while they wait off stage.....maybe some board games, card games, coloring, word searches, electronics (we can't be held responsible for loss or theft), etc. We will provide a movie for them to watch while they wait for their scenes off stage!

Here is the adjusted schedule:

Tuesday, March 5th 3:30-5:30pm
Friday, March 8th 1:30-3:30pm

Tuesday, March 12th 3:30-5:30pm
Friday, March 15th 1:30-3:30pm will be a FULL DRESS REHEARSAL. We will have cast photos taken this day!!
