Anne of Green Gables rehearsal tonight

Anne of Green Gables rehearsals begin tonight!  We had our first read through last Thursday and now we are starting to rehearse the music and stage scenes.  I will be away this evening but Miss Perkins will be directing the music rehearsals in the music room ("Gee I'm Glad I'm No One Else But Me" and "The Facts" from 7-8pm, and "We Clearly Requested a Boy" from 8-9pm).  Jan will be directing Scene 1, which tonight will be held in the dining room (below the auditorium, across from the Home Ec cooking lab).

To get us all into the spirit of Prince Edward Island and Anne of Green Gables, here are a few pictures I found online.  Looks like the "carrots" moment is popular amongst Anne followers! :)
