If your child attends a private school, can you please pick up some flyers at rehearsal this weekend to distribute to your school? There will be a stack of show flyers bundled in 25's as well as a sign-up sheet to indicate how many you are taking and for which school. Flyers will be available both Saturday and Sunday. Thanks in advance for your help getting the word out on our great show!

House Duties & Chaperone Committee
There will be a large Sign Up board outside of rehearsal for the next few weeks. If you are on these committees, please sign up for shifts. Remember, if you have not done any volunteer hours and you are saving it for House Duties and Chaperoning, you need to work 6 shifts to fulfill your 25 hour volunteer commitment. House duties includes the concessions, flowers, ushering and the raffle table. Chaperoning includes working back stage with the actors, helping to keep them quiet, get them changed from one costume to another if they need it and calling the cues when it is time.
Raffle Prizes
We need prizes for the raffle. If you have any connections to prizes that would be donated for the raffle, please solicit them. Remember, we are non profit so it is a tax deduction!
Bios & Head Shots
It is time to have the actors write their bios. Bios should be one paragraph and written in third person. For example, Jane is 7 years old and Annie is her first e.T.c. production. In her free time, Jane likes to…. You get the picture. Please send the bios to the bio email address anniebios@yahoo.com.
And speaking of pictures…if you did not take your head shot this past weekend, please bring a 4x6 black and white photo to rehearsal. Deadline for photos to be turned in is April 19.
