Pippin Performance-October 26th 12:50 p.m. Town Square
Hello All,
So...We have a possible gig tomorrow at 12:50 p.m.
We were invited to perform two songs at the Chili Cook Off/Eating Pie Contest.
That being said, I would need at least 20 cast members to perform Magic To Do and Pippin, for Corner of the Sky.
We have a TON of work to do this weekend.
A performance is awesome-but digs into practice time.
This is what I suggest.
I would need Cathrine, Pippin and Theo at 11:45 p.m. We would work until we were needed at Town Square.
At that point all cast members would need to be assembled at Town Square (in regular cloths and jackets).
After we performed our two pieces...we would all head back to school to work until 4:45 p.m. You would need to provide you own food or eat before the gig!
This is crunch time folks!
I need to hear a "yes" from 20 folks in order for me to commit to performing tomorrow.
I need to know TONIGHT!
Please spread the word, especially those who do not have Face Book-have them check the blog. (Mattie M., Julia, Maggie F. and Maggie D., Emilio.....etc)
Thank you everyone!!!

Hello Friends,
We have been offered a few private workshops for all the cast members in preparation for our production.
I would highly recommend ALL cast members come and work at Funicular this Sunday from 5:45-7:45 p.m.
I would highly recommend ALL cast members come and work at Funicular this Sunday from 5:45-7:45 p.m.
We will also have a private workshop session next Sunday.
I truly believe that each cast member needs to work on their skills and be coached by a member of the School of Circus Arts.
Please confirm as to whether your cast member can attend.
I suggest car pools to help make the "going back and forth" a lot easier.

Please confirm that you are able to attend!!
Also.....
We need:
Rakes and AA and AAA Batteries (a ton of them).
If you have a rake we can borrow and you are able to donate some batteries (AA and AAA) that would be grand.
Last call for ADS!
Peace~
