Props Committee needs help this weekend at rehearsals! We need to make dandelion seeds galore! Here is a note from Patrick Kehoe, Props Chair:
I have about 400, 18 inch branches that need to be strung with 'fur' yarn for the dandelion seeds. I will bring the supplies Friday (and leave for Saturday day also) to the rehearsal should anyone be available to stay and help with this. If you are available, bring a pair of scissors and a glue gun if you have one (if not, I have extras). Friday night at drop off, I will go over the details - thank you.

Rehearsal Information
HERE IT IS: OUR REHEARSAL MUSIC!!:
Sing out loud, sing out strong by clicking this link which will take you to our rehearsal music!
And then you can do your homework:
1. Go over all your lines, songs & choreo 1x this week.
2. Be Off-Book by Saturday's rehearsal.
Questions about Choreography or Vocals?:
If you are having trouble with any of your choreography or vocals, here are the steps you should take to get some help:
- Ask a friend. Ask someone in the same group as you if they can help you with your part.
- Ask one of the interns (Aly Ely, Emily Booth, Gwen Olson) if they can go over the part you are having trouble with during break.
- If you still have a question about your part, then you should ask the director, choreographer, or vocal director.
Missing Rehearsal:
If you miss a rehearsal, it is your responsibility to get all the notes, blocking, etc that you have missed. You need to first ask a friend/Rehearsal Buddy. Second, ask someone in your same cast grouping. Lastly, if you still have questions, you can come to Sarah the Stage Manager for help.
Please plan to arrive 5 mins before your call so that you are ready to work! Also bring each week: your script, a pencil, comfortable modest clothes, appropriate shoes for choreo (no flip-flops or bare feet), a water bottle, a snack/lunch/dinner & something to do while you are waiting.
Check here for your cast groupings.
