Your Gondoliers Stage Manager

Just a reminder that our first rehearsal is September 1st at 7:30pm in Room 5 at Christ Church. If you need directions to the church, please let me know and I will send them to you. We are currently preparing the rehearsal schedule, which will be distributed at the first rehearsal, so if you are aware of any conflicts, please let me know. It's important that we have those dates as early as possible so we can try our best to accomodate them. I know some of you have already included your conflicts on your audition form, but I would appreciate it if you would also reply to me so I can confirm that those dates are still accurate. If any new dates come up, please let me know as soon as you can.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at any time. Or if you just want to say hi, I would love to hear from you. My phone number is 289-242-1929 and my email address is katmouse@hotmail.com.

I just want to say thank you in advance for all of your hard work and dedication. I'm so excited to work with this incredible cast and production team. I know this is going to be a great show.
