The Odyssey CAST LIST
August 30, 2015
FIRST REHEARSALS are tomorrow and Tuesday after school. Everyone is needed
both days. If for any reason you are unable to attend, please notify Stage Manager
Charlotte Moffatt.
CONGRATULATIONS to everyone! I look forward to working with you to create a
beautiful show.
SCRIPTS will be distributed tomorrow.
READ CAREFULLY. Many actors play multiple parts. Actors may be added to
additional scenes if that seems workable. We will make those decisions tomorrow
and Tuesday as we read the play.
