Dearest Nunny Bunnies.  Here are your prayers with translations; the links go to more sensible translations, as they might be read in an actual service.  Please review so that you can call up the necessary emotions when you are singing these prayers.  Also please review the Preludium and it's translation that was previously provided. Remember that I'd like you to sing every day and to review your parts every day - please spend 15-30 minutes at least.  Get this stuff in your bones. Love you, Chrisse the Wonderful Rex admirabilis Et triumphator nobilis Dulcedo in effabilis totus desiderabilis. = Google Translate: Wonderful King Noble and triumphant Sweetness to be uttered all to be desired.   Also this link:  https://www.cpdl.org/ wiki/index.php/Jesu_Rex_ admirabilis Gaudeamus omnes in Domino Diem festum celebrantes = Google Translate: Let us all rejoice in the Lord festive   Also this link:  https://www.cpdl.org/ wiki/index.php/...

Dear Sisters: Here are your songs from the 1998 B'way production.  I thought it would be helpful for you to hear the harmony. DO NOT mimic the dynamics or staccato or the vocal quality of the soloists.  Just hear how the harmonies go together. https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=bDK2MaHuJd0      Opening https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=xKnCDk3uAIw&list=OLAK5uy_ mxemqY576L- ltGc1t7YmGVm3sMEgDbMpM&index= 15     The wedding  starting at   1:32    Finale: https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=s0Z5P8bfKyk&list=OLAK5uy_ mxemqY576L- ltGc1t7YmGVm3sMEgDbMpM&index= 20    

 It was pointed out that the schedule was not clear if the children are called for Act 2 Sc 1 today.  Only Max, Elsa, and the Captain are called for that scene today. Sorry for the confusion. Also, my apologies for not scheduling a break for our youngest cast members yesterday.  I will work to be better at this in the future. Jim P

If you are not a crew member and are planning on attending the Work Party this Saturday, please let stage management know so we have an idea of how many people we will be working with. Thank you!

In Act 1 Scene 10, Frau Schmidt uses the "G slur" in reference to an orchestra. Tentatively we will omit this word from our rehearsals, however if you have a suggestion for a word to take its place, please reach out to Mr. Peerenboom or stage management. 

Reminder to all that there is a work party from 10 to 4 on Saturday! Only crew are required to attend, though everyone is welcome and encouraged to help out for however long they can.

 Hi everyone! Due to an issue with scripts, we are no longer calling in the Von Trapp children today. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work through this. Thank you!

Hi everyone! Here is a LINK to the script for The Sound of Music! We should have scripts on Tuesday, but if they don't arrive in time we'll use this form of the script for now. As we have paid for the rights to the play, we have the temporary right to use a digital copy of the script. When the scripts arrive, if the format is the same, we'll stick with these digital scripts. If someone wants a rental script so that they can write their blocking in, we'll check one out to you. In the meantime, please use this for memorization purposes. Thank you!

 Hi everyone! Here is a LINK to the vocal rehearsal tracks! Thank you!
