Progress with the songs

Today we had the pleasure of David Hutchinson accompanying our singers. The majority of the songs have been selected and tried-out by the cast without any disasters or refusals!
Unfortunately due to pressure of work Chris Kyle has had to decline the Old Man. Happily Liz Kitson has stepped in and I'm sure she'll do a good job with the Old Man (or Woman?).

Next rehearsal is Tuesday 23rd October 7:00 - 9:00 pm. The main actors are required. There will be no music.

The same evening at 7:30 there will be a meeting of the set design / art team. We have a new volunteer - Andrew Dunn. At 8:00 there will be a meeting of the costume dept.

Quality not quantity!

First read-through for Joe McCarthy as Berne. He will work well with Gordone, I think. Not a large turnout but all who were needed turned up promptly.

Next meeting is Tuesday 9th October 7:00 - 9:00.
Required: Principal Characters.
Not required: Villagers, Dancers.
