YPL reminder

Good morning, everyone. Just a quick reminder about the upcoming YPL and play events.

Saturday's YPL session will welcome guests from the Cobblestone Creatives, a theatrical troupe with a particular interest in and reputation for amazing stage effects. A number of their troupe (both actors and stage crew) will be joining us for our YPL event to demonstrate a range of charms and other magical approaches to the stage. (Please be prompt. Students involved in the play, but not in the YPL are encouraged to attend for this session.)

Following the YPL discussion, most of the Cobblestone Creatives members will return to New London, but several of their crew have graciously agreed to spend the night, in order to offer ideas about the play.

Saturday evening, the members of the play crew are invited to a gathering with our guests in order to walk through the script and identify suitable effects. (If you should attend, you should have received a message this morning.) Refreshments will be provided.

Sunday's rehearsal will again welcome our guests, with a focus on trying out a few of the new ideas at appropriate points. They will also make some other suggestions about acting technique, stagecraft, and other related topics. Again, it is very important that you arrive promptly and are ready for your role. Please double check the schedule, as we've rearranged slightly to make the most of this opportunity.

Thanks again, Professor, for arranging this. I'm sure rehearsal today is going to be a significant point in the process. I can't wait to hear the suggestions that Connor Mr O'Shaughnessy and Ms Harrison will make.

They certainly had some colourful stories to tell last evening!
