Hello Magical Land of Oz!

We've had a really busy week. Our mornings are all packed with rehearsing various aspects of the Magical Land of Oz. So far we've learned all of the songs, Allison has taught you all of the choreography, and Katie has blocked the entire show-- You should all be very proud of yourselves. The reheasals have been long and tiring for you but I think your parents and friends will be really happy to watch the result.

After dining on the Capital lawn we return to MadCAP for Technique Classes with Miss Kathryn, Greg and some special guests: Joan McCarthy (who is also the director of MadCAP) came in to talk about costumes, and Paul came in today to talk to you about Set Design and Props. There will be more guests next week and lots more activities that Miss Kathryn and Greg have planned so LOTS to look forward to.

Next week we will start out at MadCAP but walk over to the Bartell Theatre to start rehearsing on stage. We only have 2 hours there a day so we're going to have to work hard, but you guys are definately up to the challenge! After rehearsing there for a couple hours we'll walk back to MadCAP and finish our rehearsal upstairs in the Center Room where we rehearsed all this week.

I'm looking forward to next weeks rehearsal--make sure to listen to your cds, memorize all of your words and come ready to work hard and have lots of fun!!
