Outlaws and their mothers

Outlaw jeans should not be new, but well worn - holes and ragged hems and torn pockets are welcome. Don't throw out those old ones that are too short either - because they are tucked into boots.

Cowboy boots and hats - actors and apprentices

I would like everyone who wears cowboy hats to begin using them in rehearsal on Monday. They will need to be tipped and taken off and generally used in acting as a prop at times.

I would like everyone who wears cowboy boots to wear them in the square dance rehearsal on Monday - you may need to bring extra or special socks so you don't get blisters.

I would like a list from Hannah and Lizzie on Monday regarding who still needs cowboy boots and/or hat and what size/color.

The Ranch Name

Hi everybody - parents and actors and apprentices,

We need to start over on the name of the Duke's ranch. Long story short - the paper I had written the ideas on was crumpled and burned. Boy that sounds like an elementary school homework excuse, but it is true. I do apologize.

So please post your ideas under here. Have a family brainstorming session.

It would be really cool if it had meaning to it - something to do with the play or William Shakespeare and incorporating the Wild West. Please resubmit any names from the previous list.

Comments from March 14

Great job on memorizing. I was very pleased working with the principles on Monday.

Has anyone seen the color wheel?

Boy oh boy did we ever miss you, Jesse and Megan. We had a very difficult time finding things and as we were leaving the parking lot after practice - Jeremy noticed the trailer doors wide open. WOW, that was close. Many, many thanks to Katie and Aliesia for filling in on the script and blocking book.

Great Job

I am so blessed this year to have a troupe of high schoolers stepping up to the plate with directing and creating:

Katie and Hannah Nelson - thanks so much for the great teaching of the Virginia Reel yesterday. It looks great. You all looked like you were having a great time and you should as it is a party.

Lindsey Vagnini and Sarah Gumness - I thank you ahead of time for your square dance teaching.

Dominic Boppre - Thanks for creating a wagging tail plus harness, a rope ladder, cleaning up each week and now a checkerboard.

Libby Siegmann - You are leading your team of musicians with enthusiasm and encouragement and I am most pleased with the result. Great job!!

Thank you all - it makes the directing job easier
