The fog comes in on little cat feet. . .

That's the beginning of a lovely poem by Carl Sandburg.  It isn't a long poem, but it's very evocative of how fog creeps in just like it has in Port Moody today.

Drama Club:  Great work on Friday!  Lots of you know lots of your lines.  Get off book by Monday's run.  You can't really act with a script in your hand.  We will time the show on Monday, so we don't want to stop and start.  I want it to run 2 hours and no more, so make sure we don't have to wait for you to come on stage!  Bring anything you might think will help you costume-wise.  I picked up a few things today and will make a final list of what we still need after Monday's run.

We will rehearse the Bergomask dance for the rude mechanicals on Tuesday at lunch.  There will be no rehearsal on Tuesday after school as there is a staff meeting in the theatre then.  On Wednesday at lunch, we will rehearse scenes with Titania, Bottom and the fairies.  After school on Wednesday, we will rehearse Theseus, Hippolyta, attendants, Philostrate.  Thursday's rehearsals will be announced after Monday's run.  Friday after school we will run the play again WITHOUT STOPPING.  Monday, December 9 is our dress rehearsal with lights, sound and everything!

Then the performances begin!  You need to encourage all your friends and family to attend a show.  It's more fun to play to a good sized audience, so each of you should make sure that everyone knows how good the show is and how fun it will be to attend.

On Monday, Rachel and Noa will be hosting a crew painting party in the theatre.  Many hands make light work, so do your best to come and help.
