     We are almost finished blocking.  Tonight we will block Act 5.  Called to rehearsal are:

         Romeo
         Juliet
         Motaque
         Capulet
         Lady Capulet
         Prince/Friar John
         Friar Lawrence
         Paris
         Balthasar

     As a reminder to the entire cast please remember that you are expected to be off book by Monday, February 28th.  We will be splitting the show into two parts so that there can be an intermission.  Part 1 is up to and including the Act III, scene 1.  Part 2 will be the rest of the play.  Next week we will run Part 1 on Monday and Wednesday on the main stage and run Part 2 Tuesday and Thursday.  We will be adjusting to the main stage as the set is constructed around us.  Your attendance, focus, and committment to your performance is essential in these last few weeks.

     Set pieces will be moved from the warehouse to the theatre on Sunday, February 20th.  Your help is greatly needed and will continue to be needed as we build, paint, and dress the set.  Again, your committment to YOUR show is essential as myself and your production staff do everything we can to make Romeo & Juliet a memorable experience at the Barrow.

     Thanks for all your efforts.  You are doing a wonderful job.  See you tonight.
