We reached our Kickstarter goal last week for our project To Begin the World Over Again! Thank you to all that helped us and we look forward to seeing you sometime in these next two weeks for the performances and community events. 

Rehearsals have been going wonderfully and after hearing and seeing everything together, I can say (even if I wasn't biased) that it's going to be beautiful.
