A Note to the Cast and Crew


What a wonderful job you all have done!!!  The audience loves the show, the energy, the talent and dedication from each of you.  It's been so fun to hear from them what their favorite numbers are.  It is amazing that every number has been mentioned by someone as "the one" that was best.  We as directors are delighted with your performances.  Each show continues to get better and better.  What a wonderful accomplishment to have success because everyone has worked so hard.  We can't stop smiling!

Hopefully everyone is able to get some much needed rest in the next couple of days...

Here is some IMPORTANT information:
  • As you probably heard, Wednesday, March 14 at 7pm is a performance; $5 open seating, no pre-sale.  Hopefully this date is already on your calendar, as it was listed in the info packet.
  • Ages 6-11 will perform as a Cast A night - Princesses and Kangaroos.  Cast B will be doing Munchkinland. 
  • If any children ages 6 - 11 are not able to be at this performance, please call Tina (949) 922-6333 as soon as possible so we can make any adjustments necessary.  Also once you child's numbers are finished; you may take them home before the finale if you wish on this night.
  • Small World Children:  Parents this performance is optional.  It can be Cast A or Cast B.  If your child is available to perform, please contact Amber Pitt (714) 968-7097 right away, so we are sure to have enough kids for this number.
  • Teens - let us know if you cannot be in attendance. You can leave as soon as Proud Mary is done.

  • Crew members - please let Diane know asap if you cannot be there. (714) 839-2585
  • The size of the audience is going to depend on the cast to get the word out.  It is much more fun to perform to a good sized audience, so let's fill it.

CAST PARTY

We are so appreciative of everyone who have given so much.  We know it has been an incredible time commitment away from home, family, work, school work, etc.  We are grateful to all who have seen a job that needed doing and just did it.  There are so many small things that so many have accomplished.  Thank you for all the encouraging words and deeds that kept us going.  Thank you for stepping up when there was need.  Thank you for being a part of something that builds so much.  Enjoy the weekend coming up... even with shows in the future, we will never have THIS show and THIS exact cast again and these great memory making moments.

This is a great show, a fantastic cast, and we belong to a wonderful stake!   This is not one of the general church programs, but it is one of our stakes great traditions that allows us the rare opportunity to work alongside people in our stake of all ages towards a common goal.  Thank you for everything that you bring that is making our show amazing!

Love to you all!
Kathy Busby, Diane Christensen and Melissa Peterson
