Just a quick note to tell you how impressed I was with you all today. You all worked so professionally during the photoshoot - allowing us to get some beautiful pictures for archival and granting purposes. And then you delivered a terrific run of the show for the cameras and our intimate audience.
I'm excited for you to go into these three final performances with this level of focus and determination. I hope you really have a terrific time bringing thing journey to a close.
Congrats!

And we are hot...in more ways than one.
The hot water has been restored to WHS, meaning we are a go for today's performance. I look forward to seeing you all at 1200pm, and I'd like to begin with a brief meeting in the Drama Room to kick off the day.
