Brilliant Work!!!

Thank you cast for a great week.  Cast members are coming prepared and communicating with professional attitudes.  The team work is tremendous!

Here are a couple of items for "homework".

Please look or ask if you have any used house paint that you can donate to our production.

Please notice, we have added two documents to the right side: "Act 1 Blocking" and "Prop List".  Please take time to reference these document.

• transfer your blocking into your own books.
• check the prop list and see if you might have items that are available for us to use

Friday's class, later this week will be starting the organization of props and other odd work projects. 

In the future, I will send a Remind message if there is something special that I want to you check prior to rehearsal within this document.  

Here is next week for your convenience.
