Based on the book by Robert Louis Stevenson, a treasure map discovered in a dead pirate’s sea-chest leads young Jim Hawkins on an expedition across the ocean to recover a fortune in plundered gold. Fair winds and favorable seas soon give way to mutiny, greed and the evil machinations of a one-legged scoundrel named Long John Silver. Join Jim on an unforgettable adventure to Skeleton Island, as he fights for his life – and the lives of his friends – in this legendary tale of piracy and heroism.

Just a little update about Monday’s rehearsal.  I talked to Ellie (she was the choreographer at auditions) and she’s planning to begin choreography on Monday.  She’ll be working various songs, for both guys and girls. Which means…girls bring your shoes on Monday, as well as Tuesday…in fact, just have them with you from now on Guys, you’ll probably need black chucks for most of the show, but also black dress shoes for the dance at the gym. It’s a good idea to start breaking them in.

Other things to remember:

• Monday’s rehearsal is off-book. This means you need to work hard on your music this weekend.
• I’ve ordered the show t-shirts (they’re going to look amazing), so you don’t have to come up with anything special to wear to Heart for the Arts. It’ll be jeans & show shirt.
• Heart for the Arts: This is a huge fundraiser for ACT, and helps pay the mortgage for the year. It’s pretty important. Even more importantly, we are honoring our fabulous Jo Brodzinski at this event. She’s done a lot for the arts in the Tri-Cities, as well as for ACT. I sure hope you’ll make every effort to be at the performance that night. It will mean a lot to Jo.

OK, so now I think I’ve covered everything. Have a great weekend!
