What A Mornin'

"Mornin' ... mornin' ... what a mornin'."
And with that, from the show's first line, many of the play's main characters gathered for rehearsal last night began to sing "Charlotte's Web" together.
Duncan Bockus, the director, had the cast sing together to get the hang of the show. Nobody had to pull off a first-night solo, to Phoebe's relief.
Scores were handed out to some of the cast members who have a lot to learn. Sam Lanza, one of the members of the committee that oversees the UU Players, warned everyone not to write anything more than a few notes in light pencil on the scores because the books need to be sent back to the publisher in April without damage.
A full cast rehearsal is slated for Sunday afternoon from 1 to 4 p.m.
It looks like everything is coming together quickly. Hopefully, a few minor issues can get worked out Sunday so that a full cast list can be released.
As an aside, anyone connected to the UU Players is encouraged to write about their thoughts and experiences for this blog. Pictures are also welcome. Let's pull together to produce an ongoing record of what we're doing!
