We will be holding our first Sunday, March 7th, rehearsal this week from 2-4pm at the school. Please ensure that students arrive early so that rehearsal can begin on time. As we are the only ones in the school the doors will be locked so anyone arriving late will not able to enter the school. In addition please make sure that the children are picked up on time at 4pm sharp. As we start to delve deeper into the script and the characters we will have a better idea of how we would like the characters portrayed and the needs for costumes and sets, so stayed tuned for a meeting regarding these needs. A detailed rehearsal schedule will be distributed to the students on Monday with a schedule for the upcoming month!! Miss Warren http://www.lakecrest.ca/index.php?p=news&nid=788 GREAT NEWS!
