We had a full day at MET on Sunday starting with a rehearsal of“The Canterbury Tales”, up next on the MET Mainstage! Almost at the same time, staff and patrons were arriving for the matinee of “The House of Yes”. (Only 1 more weekend left to see this fabulous show!)

Later on in the afternoon we had rehearsal with the energetic cast of“The Pied Piper of Hamelin” at the Carroll County Arts Center. And, following that we had a rehearsal with the women of “Exuviae“. Exuviae will be performed at Frederick Community College this Wed night as part of our 2009-2010 tour of this ground-breaking piece funded in part by a generous grant from the Ausherman Family Foundation! The performance is free and open to the public…so if you missed it the first time around, please join us!
We had a fun day today! Rehearsal in the a.m. for our “flash mob” dance at the RETRO PROM.

The Cast of “The Little Mermaid” rehearses at Monocacy Elementary School. Julie, Ashley, Karen & Erica are working at 3 local elementary schools and The Carroll County Arts Center, producing full scale musicals with a ton of talented kids!
On Sunday we had our traditional potluck and first read through for “The Canterbury Tales.” We ate a ridiculous amount of good food and then settled down to read the script out loud for the first time.
