Ray Coyle Photography: On Thursday, February 14, Ray will take head shots of senior crew members and the cast. This is a great service as the photos are used to advertise the play this spring and then the pictures are also used for the program in the future. Parents need to give permission for Ray to use the image of your child on some advertising. (No obligation) The benefit is that parents can keep the 8x10 photograph.

12. Saving Seats: Would like to have some communication regarding fairness in our first come/first serve policy. Tickets and sign will have a short blurb to encourage respect for all who wait in line for seating. Communications committee will mention this in emails as we get closer to the play. The goal is to make people aware of abuse of saving too many seats for large groups of family and friends. Saving seats for elderly grandparents is still encouraged.
