First Rehearsal and Read-through with Cast

The cast gathered and read the script for the first time tonight. It was thrilling and inspiring to hear the voices in the room. The show opens one month from today and it's gonna be great! Tonight I am feeling grateful to the many many people, businesses and organizations that have contributed so much to make this happen. Don't miss the show!
