During the first three weeks of rehearsal folks will only practice on the nights 
they commit to for the numbers they choose to participate in. 
The fourth week will be Tech week, so everyone will be asked to participate that 
entire week. 
Bonus Feature! Each week night, the Western Reserve ladies prepare a dinner so 
folks coming from work can rest and refuel before rehearsal. 
Dinner is served every rehearsal night from 5:30 to 6:30 PM. 
 
Everyone participating will be asked to purchase a T-shirt. This shirt will be 
used as part of costuming and will make a great memento after the event. This is 
a charity event, so T-shirt sales do help their bottom line.
