Rehearsal This Friday, Oct 24 – ALL TROUPERS from 4:30 – 6:00 at the Chapel.

 

Tickets – remember, tickets are now on sale to the public so if you, as parents, haven’t turned yours in, you should do it soon. Christy will be at rehearsal on Saturday. Drop it off in the morning and pick up your tickets at the end of rehearsal.

Costume bag - Every kid needs to bring in a large bag, preferably with handles, like one you would get at Old Navy or a department store, the paper kind with flat bottoms. We will use this to store their costumes/clothing.  If you have extra, please bring them.

Lipstick - The list below are the people who still have not indicated whether they are using community lipstick or are planning on returning their bag with $5 for lipstick/makeup.  If we haven’t heard from you by Saturday, we will assume community lipstick as we have to finish buying supplies next week.
