Misc...

• BE OFFBOOK. Lacking in this area will result in a compromise of future performances...



• Have your converse shoes by Wednesday the 30th at the latest (Jordan = red, Sam = Purple, Zach = Blue, and Sydnie (although you don't need them yet) = green.)



• Be prepared food-wise. Pack snacks, or run out very quickly and eat BEFORE REHEARSAL. Only water while we rehearse.
  


• Don't be late! We're gonna use every second we can get for this.

COMPLETE WORKS! (of some dude named Shakespeare)

Opening in the Little Theater at 7pm, with a suggested donation of $5 (but more is graciously accepted!). You know you wanna see it!  Also, tell your friends!
