If needs be we will practice at 2 PM on Sunday, August 14

If we have time each night we will do parts of  the same or another act in addition to what we are focusing on. We will stop at 9 PM each night, no matter where we are in the script, until the week before and the week of, when we may go later if necessart. Please make practices if at all possible, we are entering crunch time. Learn your lines and make notes to yourself on blocking so that you are where you need to be on each line of the play.

We are in progressing well, we just need to tighten it all up for a good show.  And remember to invite people to buy tickets and come to the show.

Also, if you need any prop or costume accesory tell Shelly so she and Diane can look for it for your character.
