HORACE:  Mendez was my grandmother’s name.
RACHEL:  ‘Donald Douglas Dixon, ONI - Office of Naval Intelligence’
DONALD:  Donald was my Uncle Herman’s name (others look puzzled)
REBEKAH:  ‘Ben Malone – Secret Intelligence Service.’  This looks foreign.
BEN:  That’s right, ma’am.  The SIS is the secret front line of British National Security. MRS WILCOX’s VOICE:  (from offstage, left)  Put out that light!  (flashlights are turned off)
RACHEL:  What exactly is the Office of Strategic Services?  Something like the Federal Bureau of Investigation?  The FBI?
ELLIOT:  You might say that.
HORACE:  Actually, I’m with the FBI.  I’m on detached duty.
ELLIOT:  Officially, the Office of Strategic Services is referred to as OSS.
REBEKAH:  Let me see if we have it right.  (points to Elliot)  You’re OSS.
ELLIOT:  Uh-huh
RACHEL:  You’re FBI. (points to Horace)
HORACE:  Uh-huh
REBEKAH:  You’re ONI (points to Donald)
DONALD:  Uh-huh
RACHEL:  You’re SIS (points to Ben)
BEN:  Uh-huh

ELLIOT, HORACE, DONALD & BEN:  Yeah

Scene 24

We caught a snafu in the people listed for each scene.  I had put the government agents and g-men in Scene 24, but I missed that they left at the end of Scene 23.  So, Micayla, Juliana, Erin, Trisha, Raphael, Henry, Coulter and Evan are not in Scene 24.

Rehearsal Schedule

Next spring we will be performing in the Clintonville High School Auditorium.  Given the fact that they have a portable microphone system available for us to use, it will actually end up costing us less to perform in Clintonville than at the Mielke Theater.

I think you are all going to like the facility.  It seats around 570 people, so we will be cutting back from 4 shows to 3 shows, and we will not need to take reservations.

However, in order to work around some scheduling issues at the high school, we are going to need to move our performance dates to the last weekend in April.  Performances will be April 27, April 28 and April 29.  Because of this change, we are going to need to move up our rehearsal schedule.

We will have our first meeting on November 17 from 12-3 at Bethany to hand out scripts  and go over parents’ and students’ responsibilities.  Rehearsals will begin December 1.  Here’s our tentative schedule (all rehearsals are from 12-3):

November 17 – First Meeting
December 1     -  Rehearsal
December 8     -  Rehearsal
December 15   -  Rehearsal
January 5         -  Rehearsal

Clintonville High School Musical This Weekend

Here are some details on the musical this weekend, in case anyone wants to check out the auditorium:

Clintonville High School

The CHS production of "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do" will be presented at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sunday in the CHS auditorium. Tickets are $7 adults and $5 students.

The story centers on best friends Lois Warner and Marge Gelman, who have come to the Catskills after Marge was left at the altar. They stay at the somewhat rundown Esther's Paradise resort, determined to spend the Labor Day weekend enjoying what should have been Marge's honeymoon.

Lois encourages Marge to get over her former fiance by pushing her into a relationship with the resort's headlining singer and known womanizer, Del Delmanaco. The relatively simple storyline intertwines the shy resort handyman, Gabe Green, taking a romantic interest in Marge, who is too busy chasing after Del to notice him.

A comical cast of resort staff and a song for every situation rounds out the light-hearted production.

The show, written by Eric Jackson and Ben H. Winters, with music by Neil Sedaka and lyrics by Sedaka, Howard Greenfield and Cody Philip, is designed to showcase Sedaka's music.

Assisting Dennis and Kimberly Brei with the production are Peggy Johnson, with sets and props; Dan Schmidt, as technical director, producer and pit band director; Kathryn Murphy, with costuming; Tyler Klegin, as auditorium director; and Kieran Murphy, as student director.
