INTO THE WOODS!!!!!

INTO THE WOODS!!!!!

Good Morning Everyone!

What a fun night last night.  

Cappies went very well.  

The feedback was that the performance was very enjoyable...Congratulations!

We also heard that the first time round is always very nerve racking.  You all did a fabulous job! Next year...no biggie.

A BIG SHOUT OUT to DAN!!!!!!  
Couldn't have done it without him.

Today, we have our meet/greet with the leads and a few little ones.  

Please be ready to go by 1:00 p.m.

Mikayla will set up the community room around noon.

ALL Cast/Crew please arrive NO LATER than 12:30 p.m.

Crew-let's review the movement of the Castle, so the seams do not show....light folks, wait for the cue from Ari.

Good job to our light/sound folks.  Not an easy task.

We run today at 2:30 p.m.and again at 7:30 p.m.

Bring food or whatever you need to sustain yourself.

Long day, but well worth it.

AFTER our run tonight:

1. ALL CLOTHING/MAKE-UP  must be taken home. Any items left will be thrown away.

2. The entire theater space and choral room MUST be cleaned before anyone goes off to the cast party.  

Please....make our jobs easier.  

ALL CAST and CREW must help.

3. Everyone must check in with me BEFORE you head off to celebrate.

4. We will break down the set-probably next weekend-I will let you know when.

5. The cast party is at:
1501 Huntingdon Rd.
Abington, 19001

If you have not yet paid your $5-please bring that to the matinee.

You all should be proud of your work.  Who would have thought that we would have the courage and fortitude to perform such a musical as INTO THE WOODS!

Bravo to you all.
