Slight changes have been made to the MS CAST SCHEDULE. 

Changes in the schedule are highlighted in yellow.  The only major change is the addition of a rehearsal on 3/13/20. 

We have added our annual MS half-day rehearsal to the schedule as we have found this rehearsal on the half-day successful and tons of fun for all cast and crew as the excitement builds towards the opening of the show! 

Please also note that 3-13-20 is the day when our Frozen MS cast performs at the MJCCA Shabbat Sings and at the Weinstein School. For this day of outreach into the community, MS cast member will wear their Frozen show shirts and jeans.
