Fandangle practices set

By Donnie A. Lucas

The first general rehearsal for all cast members of the Fort Griffin Fandangle has been set for Tuesday, May 3 starting at 7:30 p.m. at the Prairie Theater.

Only the first general rehearsal for all scenes is set for next week, with remaining practices starting on Sunday, May 8 and continuing almost nightly throughout May and June.

The performance dates for the show this year are June 17-18 and June 24-25, with the annual parade set for Saturday, June 18.

Tickets for the show are currently on sale on the Fandangle website.

“I need to cast the parts for each scene, so it is really important to come to practice,” Ayers said. “These first couple of general rehearsals will be important if you want to be cast in a singing or acting part.”

The first rehearsal for children for the Indian sequence and square dancers is Sunday, May 8, also at 7:30 p.m.

Parents who have children planning to participate in the Indian prairie scene or square dancing must fill out a registration form prior to the first practice on Sunday evening.

“Cast members who have signed up for the Remind app have been sent a registration form, but the form will also be available on the Fandangle website, Ayers said.

Ayers said that the website would be updated by Thursday (today) with the required form and a print version of the rehearsal schedule for May and June.

The Beehive scene and other second half numbers will be rehearsed mostly on Monday nights starting May 9.

General rehearsal for all large group numbers are scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday nights.

Currently, no rehearsals are planned on Friday and Saturday nights.

Wednesday night practice for teenagers in Huppi Hi or the Train will start at 7:30 p.m.
