Good Friday Morning,

There is NO PRACTICE TODAY, FRIDAY- the announcement is wrong. Enjoy your weekend.

We got through the whole musical in an hour and half even with the late start and the stops along the way. We need to keep up with this pace and smooth things out a bit and then we are golden. Thank you for coming and making this work.

A few things about the practice: first of all, we were missing a few people and that always complicates the practice, so make sure you are there to help out. Secondly, kids are still touching the props out back. This is a NO NO as they are flimsy at best and need to be in there correct places, so please stop now. Thirdly, no more gum chewing from cast or crew. Looking from the stage at those who were chewing was not pretty, so no more. Forth thing, Opening for a Princess song needs to be stronger. Several of you were doing a bang up job, but everybody needs to do this and I know you can. Fifth thing, we are working with props now and they need to be in the correct place, so until that happens, we all need to help the crew do this. Sixth and one of the most important items, NO talking at all when you are on the stage to the sides or especially behind the curtains. Please be aware of this fact and do your part to make the magic happen in this musical. And lastly, you ARE doing a nice job making this musical happen, so we need to work on the rough edges to make it better.

As you may have noticed the photographer in the auditorium, he was from the newspaper, American Journal. He took many pictures and is writing up an article to come out this week, so look for it at the stores.
