Good Tuesday to all,

Due to the talent show practicing today, there is no practice scheduled for any cast members today.

Practice for Thursday is for Full Cast from scene 3 up to scene 5.

Bottle drive is ongoing. Please be collecting these for offsetting the cost of fabric.

Costumes:
We need some parents on board to help out with this department. Please call me if you are able to help.

Start looking for something that can be used. Goodwill is a good place to start. I do have some dresses and such here, so check this source out also. Sewing and alterations are available if you do so in a timely manner.


Props:
We need a parent volunteer to help lead this task. Please call if you are interested in helping in any manner.
