We are canceling the scheduled dress rehearsal tonight. We will act on the contingency plan to have our dress rehearsal tomorrow night, Thursday, 7:30-10:00 pm. I have conferred with the majority of the Board, and we agree that 1) the potential for freezing temperatures and ice make for dangerous conditions tonight, 2) members are likely to be physically exhausted from shoveling and dealing with personal/family needs today, 3) the performance will be better served by rehearsals that are not back-to-back.
Like Tuesday, I understand that there will be members with conflicts they simply cannot work around. We understand, but feel this is secondary to the overriding concerns for safety tonight. If you cannot attend Thursday evening for the rescheduled dress rehearsal, please email Claudia and put the gist of your message in the subject line.
We will also definitely use the 11:00 am setup, 11:30 am – 1:00 pm rehearsal on Sunday, prior to the 3:00 performance. I am asking the Board to help us with some pizzas and soda for the break. Again, if you have a conflict you cannot work around on Sunday, email Claudia.
Thanks — you are the best. See you tomorrow evening. Be safe and careful until then!
