Thursday

Cast, Crew, Parents,

Thursday, we will perform a dress rehearsal in the morning. We'll have a partial audience comprised of a small group of students from each grade level and we hope they go back to their classes and tell them how great their preview was and encourage everyone to come see the show. Our students also have the privilege of meeting and listening to Pamela Winslow Kashani who played Rapunzel in the Original Broadway production of Into the Woods with Bernadette Peters! Afterwards, we plan to use some of the remaining time to rehearse things that need more work before we open tomorrow night. Can you believe it?! That being said, please plan to pick up your student at the PLC at 1PM. 

We'll be posting call times for cast and crew later today after we have a better idea of how long set up will take before the show.
