Reminder

Hi Cast!

Last night's rehearsal was FANTASTIC.  Thanks so so much for your hard work--especially to the young men and young women in the highschool scene.  That is a complicated scene and you worked hard last night to pull it together.  It will be one of the many highlights of the show!  

There are not a lot of rehearsal times left.  If you are not on stage, a great use of time is to:

• Memorize lines and song lyrics.  We should be off script next week.
• Practice "Welcome to Murray" and "Wash Girls' Camp" (GIRLS)
• Practice "Can't Wait to Be King" -- the ultimate song and dance  (BOYS)

We are going to make big strides on Saturday.   Thank you a thousand times.

See you tomorrow!

--Carrie and Karen    

Saturday, October 16th PLEASE RESPOND

Hi Cast,

We're looking ahead to Saturday, October 16th.  We need to run the show from start to finish a couple of times. 

Which works better for you-- starting early in the morning and going to noon OR starting after lunch and working it during the afternoon? 

I'm wondering if with games and other committments, Saturday afternoons are more open  . . . ?

The 16th would be our last Saturday rehearsal.  Forever.  Let me know. 

Thanks,

CARRIE   

Hello Cast

The show is really coming together!  Thanks so much for all of your hard work.  You keep showing up at rehearsals despite the fact that you work, have tons of homework, are in bike races, have priesthood visits to make, teach night classes, have dance class, football practice, are busy putting in mission papers, and are in the high school play.  You are NOT a group of people with nothing else to do, but a group of people who have made a commitment to create something wonderful for our stake. And you are doing it.  Your personal commitment and energy is contagious and spreads to everyone working on this project.  Thank you. 


From our next rehearsal, the show is 17 days away. 


Love and thanks, 
Carrie and Karen      


Notes:
Thanks for being on time and letting us know when you have conflicts
We need to be off script as soon as possible.  Thanks for working at getting your lines and music memorized.

UEA Weekend

We are trying to determine a rehearsal schedule for UEA weekend-- October 14-16th.  Would you mind responding and letting us know whether or not you will be in town?  It is the weekend before the show and we need to have a tech rehearsal--to teach our sound and lighting crew what to do.  We'll need to have rehearsals for sure--but it would help for us to know how many people we are working with.   
Thanks,
Carrie and Karen
