Notes for Sunday Oct 27

Hi everyone!

Thank you for your wonderful work on Sunday! I think we are making huge progress and as of this Sunday we are going to start running sections of the show with full blocking, music, narration, and transitions! Very exciting!

Reminder that this week's rehearsal is at BETHANY UNITED CHURCH in the Fellowship Hall. The church's address is 7171 Clinton Ave., but the entrance to the Hall is off of Joseph Howe Drive.

You'll notice that we haven't called XCTE until 2pm, in order to do some small group rehearsing. Please arrive promptly at 2pm so we can get started! Men, please arrive a few minutes before 4pm so that we can jump right into our "stumble through" of the first half of the show!

Memorization

Reminder that The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun is to be memorized for this Sunday. And looking ahead to Sunday Nov 1, please keep working diligently on Hanget Soi as it will need to be memorized for that date (as well as Jul Jul!).

Tickets for Tales of the Old North

We have worked out a system with the theatre so that performers can sell tickets to our show hand to hand in advance, rather than directing everyone to purchase tickets via the Alderney Landing website/TicketPro. On Sunday you will be given an order form and will have until November 15 to collect ticket money and submit to Erin. Although we would please ask you NOT to post this on social media, you can let your family and friends know in person that by purchasing tickets directly from you, they will save about $3.00 in service fees per ticket! :D What a deal!!

Christmas Wreaths

Our annual Christmas wreath fundraiser will be starting soon! Tenille will be giving us an update on how the fundraiser works this Sunday at rehearsal. Thank you to Tenille for being our all-star wreath coordinator!

That's all! See you on Sunday!
