If you are willing to help, it would be great if you can sit in any of the rehearsals.   There are very few of them so look and see if you are available.   While you are observing, do not be shy, take charge of any need you see and just do it without me asking.   I will welcome the help and extra eyes and ears.

Love to you all,

Alice
