I am attaching the master
calendar for this week (and NEXT!) at the Little Theatre. We will soon have 5
different productions in various stages of rehearsal using the theatre
building, so please be respectful of space, volume, and prop storage. We have started
finding trash in the theatre, green room, and rehearsal room in the morning.
Please dispose of any trash before you leave the space. We have ACT
classes here nearly every afternoon, and it’s difficult to stay ahead of the
trash curve if when people leave it in the various rooms. Thank you! Please
look the calendars over carefully and let me know if anything needs to be
changed by this Wednesday (tomorrow) at noon. Thank you!
