This week's news update from the UU Players Committee

Salutations! This week the messages in Charlotte's Web were...

COSTUMES
We are turning people into animals, and we need some more help! Costume Queen Amy is feeling a sense of desperation here... she needs people to paint feathers on muslin on hooded capes that will become four sets of wings, wings to be sewed, "wool," or something that looks like it drawn or sewn on the sweatsuits for sheep, hoods for sheep and piggie heads, and other creative issues. We have some good souls lined up to do some of this work, but we need more!! Please, if you can, let Amy know. You can work during rehearsal time if you like, while watching the action and help put a sparkle back in her cheesy costume crown.

TECH
Sam the Man says nothing new, dudes.

PROPS
The scavenger hunt continues for props maven Cindy. She's searching for a air rifle with a Western look -- a toy, please, Kiernan is going to have it in his clutches! -- as well as a straw broom, a smoking pipe for tobacco and an oversized baby bottle (she says they're sometimes given as coin banks at baby showers) and oversized plastic insects, especially flies. YUM! The bugs are for Charlotte's breakfast, but don't blame her. It's the way she's made.

CAST AND CREW SHIRT ORDERING DEADLINE IS FRIDAY AT REHEARSAL.....

MISSING YOUR SCORE? We have one someone left behind. Jackie has it and will be at rehearsal Friday.

That's all, folks!

Singing on the stage

This afternoon, the cast practiced the "Welcome to the Zuckerman Barn" scene, Wilbur and Charlotte's "Salutations" scene, and "Breakfast at the Arables."

Here are some photographs, courtesy of Mary Majerus-Collins:

This week's group email

Salutations!
Here's what I saw written in Charlotte's web this week...

TEE SHIRTS AND HOODIES
Response to the VERY CUTE cast/crew shirt offer has been lackluster thus far... we can only figure that people have forgotten about it or didn't realize the deadline was upon us. We are extending the deadline, as right now we can't even make an order without losing money. That means we have to sell some shirts or we won't be able to have them, as losing money is not in our interest! Long-sleeved, 100 percent cotton shirts are $16 and 50-50 cotton-poly hoodies are $25. Don't miss out! Cindy Wilbur is taking orders: lunadaughter@comcast.net, or 677-2135. Help your theater troupe by taking part in this fundraiser, by advertising the show on your fabulous self AND dress in style at the same time!!!

COSTUMES
Amy asks that you keep looking through your closets for '50s-era clothes. She also needs people who can sew to take on small projects -- any kind of sewing is appreciated -- machine or by hand. She needs people to make some wings and draw on fabric to make the animal costumes. Thanks to Ellen, we have a sewing machine, but... she needs someone who knows how to use it! HELLLLP!!!

TECH
Sam says, "Stay incognito for now."
