Hey Guys,

I am sitting here thinking how incredibly special you all are. I didn't know you all posted these beautiful comments until just now. I am speechless-which is pretty amazing coming from me, right? It was a very special journey we all took. I had a funny feeling that this was going to be quite a unique experience because you all were so dedicated way back in August. No one complained about working in the summer-no one commented on the fact that we all learned the ensemble numbers before lead auditions. There was no hierarchy-we were all valuable participants for the betterment of the production.
I have been flooded with e-mails from staff and audience members....RAVING about you, your energy, your talents.
We were all part of something that will forever change all our lives.

This Thanksgiving, I will have all of you in my heart.....and will take a moment to savor our accomplishments.
Be well and peaceful.

Dear Cast/Crew/Pit,

Here we are...opening night!

Think back for a moment.....way back in August.

Working on the music-figuring out the intricacies of the harmonies.

Think about the dancing-think about working on Pyramid, Strongest Suit....think of all the hours, time, energy.

Now think about the laughter, food, friendships built, smiles, sets, costumes.

You are a wonderful group of young people.

I am honored to have worked with you on Aida.  You have raised the bar very high and have surpassed the mark.

Enjoy the moment..........you all will shine tonight and this weekend.

Dear Aida Community,

 

Thank you so much for a beautiful evening last night. Such great ambiance, food and friendship!!

The kids and adults enjoyed themselves. It was great to see everyone take a moment to share a meal and relax a bit.

Thank you to Terri for organizing the event and for all those families who brought food/drink.

I also appreciate the Birthday Cake and celebration. It was wonderful to be with the kids on such a day.

As we move forward, please remember that this week is a bit intense.

All cast members are to be at school by 5:30 p.m. each night of this week. Some may want to arrive a bit earlier-just to have more time to prepare.

We will run the show each night starting at 7:30 p.m. The cast will be done for the evening when the show is completed and their costumes are put back properly.

Remind your cast member about keeping track of their school work and that they are to arrive at school on time each morning of this week!

Remember to obtain your tickets early, as the preferred seats are already going fast.

This Tuesday at 1:30 p.m., the cast will perform a 45 minute show for the Elementary School students. That is a wonderful time for the cast/crew to see how it feels to be in "show mode".

Many thanks for all you have done for me, the kids and the program.

Take Care,

Lys
