HARVEY!!!!!!

Dear Cast,
Well...here we are....One night before we open.

You all have grown in to a very connected and giving community. Bravo to you all.

Keep the energy flowing...be creative...listen and react to your fellow actors. Be expressive.

Remember...if the audience finds something you have said funny...let them laugh a moment....don't smile-stay in character.

Remember to "open up" to the audience-don't show your profile. Don't rush your lines....make them fresh...new!

Call time:
5:45 p.m. ON THE BUTTON!

We will review our curtain call and monologue positions until 6:15 p.m. then you are free to relax, get ready...prepare.

The doors will open at 7:00 p.m.

Thank you for all you have done for the program and for me.

Hello Friends,

If we all could be at school by 11:30 a.m. that would be great.  I would like to run scene changes at that time ( be prepared to do that more than a few times)...we will focus on making everything run as smooth as possible.

Before the run, we will talk about the week a- head.

Get some rest.
