T-SHIRTS, ANYONE??

We are wondering if the cast, staff and orchestra members are interested in getting tshirts this year. We are required to order them through the company that R&H has contracted to do this.
To view the shirts, please go to www.stagepromotions.com/The_Sound_of_Music.html
We would order white shirts with the design shown on the website and they would have the names of all participants printed on the back. The cost would be $12 a shirt or $14 for size 2XL and up. It takes about 2 weeks to get them, so please respond and let us know who is interested!

Tuesday (Sept. 14) Rehearsal

Rehearsal for this Tuesday (Sept. 14) will be held at the GRANDVIEW building.
Address: 2930 S. 2000 E. It's the white church on 20th East.

Beginning at 7:00-we need everyone in Act I, sc. ix to be there. Please check below if you do not know if you're in this scene...(von Trapp children do NOT need to be there). (Maria we also need you there at 7:00)
Beginning at 8:00-we need all the nuns. We will be blocking scenes i, iii, and iv from Act I.

Also, the detailed rehearsal schedule and the group rehearsal schedule have been updated. Please take a look as some of the rehearsals have changed.

And, there are a couple of new links. I've had a few people say they don't know which scenes they're in so they don't know which rehearsals they need to attend.

The new link "Character List by Act and Scene" has each scene in the play with everyone who is in that scene. This should hopefully help you out.

If there are any questions, please email them to wilfordstakemusical@gmail.com

Thank you!!

STAGE MANAGER NEEDED!

We are in need of a stage manager. If anyone knows of someone who could help with this, please let us know. We have to have someone great behind the scenes to make this a great production!
