Cabaret Info

Hi everyone,

I hope everyone's holiday was great!


Cabaret Info:
  • SHEET MUSIC IS DUE TOMORROW
    • Double-sided
    • Emily Fleet will be in the box office tomorrow from 10-12, you can drop it off and buy your tickets for "End It" and "Good Friday" while you're there!
    • You can also give your music to Maria Cabral if you can't find Emily
    • If for some reason you can't find either of us, OR if classes are cancelled tomorrow, please email me a PDF of your music so that I can start putting together a show list!
      • But please print it out for me this week so that we don't have to print everyone's music
  • Emily is still selling tickets
    • Please consider taking some from her so you can sell them over break! Again, we are trying to figure out how much food to order, and we would like to do that this week!
    • Reminder you don't need to give her money to get tickets from her!


Please text/email Emily with any concerns. I know it's hard to stay on top of these dates since the cabaret isn't until January, but it's important to get all of this done this semester so that it can be an easy transition next semester! 

Love you all,
Em
