Directors Note 12/02/2021

Hi kids!
Well I hope you are all resting up for another great weekend! I want to thank everyone for all the hard work, especially those who were able to participate in the Auburn Parade! It was a great time!

This is the time when Maria and I take a look at the show as a whole and make adjustments to the casting in order to balance things out. We decided we needed to bolster the Cratchit family and have asked Addison to drop out of school and become Belinda Cratchit. Not a real life career choice! She has graciously agreed and so we welcome Belinda Cratchit to the Cratchit clan! A huge thanks to Addison! It is no small thing to drop all the work it takes to develop a character and build a new one. We appreciate your professionalism.

 We also will be welcoming the newest Packed daughter Madi Carver! Madi has now been fully vaccinated and can return! 
 
As our family evolves I just want to remind everyone just how important it is to make all of your character choices from a place of love. We are indeed a big family. Our practice is always to make positive choices that elevate your fellow performers, yourselves and our audience! We must always treat each other with regard and kindness! This doesn’t mean you need to be besties in your outside lives, but you must respect each other and be mindful of the things you do and say. We all have light within us, let yours shine brightly! Practice kindness till you get it right!

I’m making the email addresses visible again for the last time. Please don’t “reply all” unless you really want everyone to get it!

Friday night is Skaneateles Sings! Call is 5:30 in the green room, show is 5:50 in front of the Library. We will pass out candles to the guests. At 6:00pm the Reverend Becky Coerper from Sy James will bless the Creche, Mrs Cratchit will sing O Holy Night, we will carol in procession to the gazebo, the Girl Scouts will sing, dignitaries will speak, the tree will get lit and that’s that! Its really fun and sweet. Hope you can make it!
Cheers!
Jim
