What a way to start a week

Thank you all for trudging through act two with us tonight. The scene changes are very important and it is great that the younger members of the cast are up to the challenge. Please remember there is now: scene change .25, .50, 1 & 2 Only move the items that you were informed of moving.

Thank you to those who could attend tonight’s rehearsal. The schedule was changed due to the holiday. We did state the mistake of 1pm on the calendar to be 7pm at the read through, and then again verbally at rehearsals and lastly I posted the change very boldly on this blog. If you did not get the update I apologize but the production team did the best that they could to inform everyone.

Please make sure that your contact information is up to date. I have had trouble contacting those who needed to speak to me receiving disconnected phone line messages and e-mails kicked back to me. The producers, stage manager and myself have not had any change in contact information so please inform us if you have a schedule conflict.

Speaking of contact, the production staff is here to help you, but please note that I am not available until after work hours. From 8:30am-5:00pm I am at work and can not always answer my phone or email, but you can leave a message with me. Please do not expect a phone call from me until after 5pm.
