Cinderella

Dear LM Families,

You may have noticed that our show and Cinderella are running at the same weekend. Our opportunity to support our Portland friends is their Thursday School Day Shows at 9:30 and 11:45am. Here is the link to get Tickets.

CONGRATS and PERSONAL ADS

New Opportunity:

Have a CYT Friend or family member with Little Mermaid

as their last show? Do you know of a birthday or anniversary

during the run of the show? Do you just want to send someone

a big Thank You? 

You could always place a nice congrat ad in the program for $5

but even better get creative and place a personal advertisement in the program for 30% off list price and make a real statement.

Just let a member of your program committee know what you would like, and we can make it happen.

Clean-up Schedule

Hello Little Mermaid Families, 

The Green Room Committee is in the process of finalizing the clean-up schedule for dress rehearsal week and performance days. Each cast and crew member is assigned a time to help clean our rented facility at least once. If you are carpooling with another family and would like to have your child scheduled on the same day as another, please e-mail Cheri and I by this Sunday evening, October 17th. It is our desire to have the clean-up schedule finalized and available next Friday’s parent meeting.

Thanks very much for your help and we're looking forward to a wonderful show!

Most sincerely,

Kevin and Cheri Hogan
