Focus + Excitement = Achievement
The excitement is brewing! Both casts will be running the show this Sunday.
It’s time for our actors to focus their energy and bring all that they have learned to every rehearsal from this point forward. We love the progress they are making. Self-care and rest before rehearsals is important. Please continue to encourage your actor to practice in between rehearsals. Repetition is key.
Everything is coming together nicely. Our costumes look amazing (Ruby Slippers have their fitting this Sunday), set design is looking great, props are being purchased and created, and the stage is being prepped so our stars can shine bright!
