Great job everyone in the cast and crew. In the words of our tech director, "for being tuesday of tech week, this show is in the beat place of any we have seen.". Or something like that.
Please don't let any of the stress of this week flow into your dedication and performances in the show. Our passions lie in working together to have the best show ever for the cast and crew to showcase your talents. As a family, we have had a terrific and long seven weeks together. We have a couple more days to go before you hit Opening Night and show off the beautiful work of art you have created.

Tech update and Monday Tech Run
Thank you everyone for a great tech run of Act One Sunday night. Yes, it wasn't a cue to cue but we managed to write all the cues ahead of rehearsal so why not have a full run of Act One. And in record time so far. Great job!
Monday night we shall tech Act Two. Call is 6pm for all dancers (non storytellers) and 6:30pm for rest of cast. We shall start our run at 7:30pm so please use the hour in between to check costumes, ask questions, and be prepared to run any numbers we need to run. We shall also have a vocal and physical warmup.
This is tech week and we will have some bumps in the road as we refine the show. Rest assured, you have a great show on your hands. And we thank everyone for being part of the show.
See you Monday.

Rehearsal Notes for Tuesday September 20
Great job last night everyone for first time running on the set. It is looking good - and we have a very strong foundation so far to build on.
Tonight is Act Two run-through starting at 7pm with vocal warmups. We do have to work the Flood tonight with the curtain so hopefully we will be good with our time management.
Lead dancers - please see Marc tonight about coming earlier on Wed to work on Return of the Animals.
We will be taking some publicity photos tonight so some of you may be asked to get into costume for that.
See you tonight.
