Final Meeting Tomorrow - Wed. August 6

Congratulations to everyone on a wonderful performance last week! We will get together tomorrow evening (Wed. August 6) after the film students' presentation in the Rauh Studio Theatre. You will each get a performance DVD and a 2008 Boal Reference book to take home with you -- and then we will say good-bye.

There is an ice-cream social at 7 pm (before the film students' presentation).

Photos from the final performance have been posted on Picasa. Below is a slideshow of some of them.
