"If at first an idea is not absurd, there is no hope for it."
Albert Einstein
During the technical run-through, we will be putting the whole show together. 
 It gives us a chance to show you where to enter, exit, and strut your stuff.  We will need
all hands on deck as we choose folks to be stage hands.  It will also give you a chance
to take pictures and be the audience for the show.  Bring water, sun-screen, and be
ready to hurry up and wait.  Be in costume for those of you who need to, but no make-up.
