The waiting is over

The First Rehearsal for Ye Merrie Greenwood Players is tomorrow!!!

All of the Performing Groups Directors have worked up a 10 - 15 min. performance for the Rehearsal to introduce their groups. They will have "sign up" sheets to join their groups along with the information about rehearsal times, dates and locations. The Gypsie Dancers and the "Red Throbbing Hand" their musicians will be doing a presentation, as will the Greenwood Musicians, Madrigals, Scots, Puppets and Swashbucklers. I probably forgot someone in there.

I really enjoy the first rehearsal because I get to sit and enjoy the show with everyone else. All I have to do is introduce them. Of course the real work started in January when the different Staff Members got together and started work on this year's Greenwood Faire. There are some great ideas that we will be implementing that came out of that meeting.

Thinking of the Faire, the vendor applications have been arriving and the acts are all booked. There is a little over a month left before the vendor deadline, and I do hope that folks who are used to getting their applications in the mail will look on line. Granted I did send them an email, but you never know if it wound up in a Spam filter. Heavy Sigh

That's the news for today. I'll try and get a note in about how the first rehearsal went.

Vendor Reminder

A Reminder from
Ye Merrie Greenwood Players
The Deadline for Application Submissions is
April 3rd.
One month ago I sent out the following message. Some of you have sent back your applications already, and some have thought that they had lost their applications because they are so used to a hard copy arriving at their home. Still others had problems downloading the form. If after you have tried everything to download the cover letter and form and you find you still cannot get it to work, please email me and I'll send you a cut and paste version.
This year you will find the link to our vendor applications listed on our website
Please be sure to read all the information before you download your application and mail it to me. I hope that you find this easier than the hard copy that I usually sent, which often went into hiding somewhere on your desk.
I'll look forward to receiving your applications soon.
