Meeting on Monday 9/27

Hi everyone!

Most of you heard this at rehearsal on Friday, but I wanted to let you all know that we will be having a quick YCTIWY cast and crew meeting tomorrow after school. Please meet in the auditorium, it should be a very quick meeting. Regular rehearsal will start right after.

Please let one of your stage managers know if you can't come!

Rehearsal Schedule

Hey everyone! The rehearsal schedule is now available on the website - just click the Rehearsal Schedule link at the top of the page. Tell your parents/guardians about it so they're kept informed too. (It eliminates the need for the whole "Yes, I do have rehearsal again..." discussion - we've all been there before...) ^.^
