Kathy's Corner

July 5, 2013

With less than a week until opening night, the days are flying by here in the CAST Lab. We had a great fight choreography demonstration this morning to end week four. Thank you to Babes with Blades for a great show!! This week we contacted volunteers to help us sell tickets and concessions or usher next weekend and appreciate all the speedy responses. Thank you in advance to those of you who have been willing to help us and make our busy weekend of shows a success!

Please be sure to buy your tickets for all the shows early, but we are especially concerned that 1001 Arabian Nights and The Secret World of Og will sell out. We cannot guarantee that tickets will be available at the door and ask that you purchase your tickets online or reserve tickets by calling 708-524-7848 or e-mailing ksimon@op97.org to secure your seats.

We hope everyone had a great Fourth of July and we look forward to seeing everyone next weekend!!

It has been another busy week in the CAST Lab! The ticket contest is on and all the casts are doing a great job of selling tickets. It's already looking like there will be a great turn out in just a couple weeks. Tickets, photo packages and DVDs are all available for purchase online, so be sure to put in your orders early!

A big thank you to Mary Matticks and Jamie Stanesa for helping us with sewing!! We truly appreciate your help with costuming our actors and actresses.

The next two weeks are sure to be busy, exciting and a lot of fun! Have a restful weekend and get ready for a whirlwind week five, and remember there is no camp on July 4th to celebrate the holiday. See you Monday!

What an exciting Parent's Day! We are so proud of all our talented campers and excited to see how the shows grow and develop over the next three weeks. Here in the CAST Lab we are busy filling ticket orders and sorting out jobs for our many volunteers. We are excited to announce that tickets are officially available online, here. You can also call or e-mail us here in the CAST Lab to reserve tickets or send in an order form with your camper. We do recommend buying tickets ahead of time!! If you missed filling out the volunteer form from your pre-camp newsletter and are still interested in helping us, please fill out the form below. We can always use help!

We are looking forward to a fabulous week four and enjoyed getting to see everyone this morning. Have a fun weekend!

We can't believe it's already the end of week two! As opening night draws near we will be calling volunteers to help us usher and sell concessions at all of the performances. We will also be contacting those of you who volunteered to help us with sewing soon. We can always use more help with sewing, so please get in touch with us if you are good with patterns and a sewing machine! Starting next week, we will be selling tickets for all the shows both online and here in the CAST Lab. Both 1001 Arabian Nights and The Secret World of Og will have limited seating, so be sure to purchase your tickets ahead of time! Tickets will also be on sale next Friday at Parents' Day. We really look forward to seeing all of you and getting a sneak peek at what our wonderful campers have been working on these past two weeks.

Have a restful weekend!

This week has been busy, busy, busy here in the CAST Lab. It's so nice to see many new faces and so many returning campers! Thank you to all the parents who have turned in all their forms in these first few days of camp. If you would like to, you can still order pizza for your camper, which is served every WEDNESDAY (sorry for the mix-up!). Photo packages and DVDs are also available for purchase online by clicking here. When we are closer to the performances we will be needing volunteers to help us sell tickets and serve as ushers. If you would be willing to help, please fill out and return our volunteer form, which you can find below along with any other forms you may need.

As always, any questions, concerns or absences can be directed or reported to us here in the CAST Lab either by email: ksimon@op97.org or by phone: (708) 524-7848.

Have a wonderful weekend and we will see you on Monday for week two!
