Happy New Year!
Winter Greetings, Dear Esther family, and Happy New Year!
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas break!
As snowflakes fall, and the smell of hot chocolate fills the air, time steadily brings us into the start of a new year, as 2018 closes behind us, and 2019 opens just before us. May we each look forward, with excitement, to all that lies ahead!
Congratulations, and thank you again, to all of you for doing such a great job fundraising for "Esther"! I am very grateful for your hard work, commitment, and results in this very important segment of the production, that was concluded at our pizza party, before the break. You helped make the show all that it can be in the process, and I'm very happy for all of you. Families will be reimbursed their security deposits at our first rehearsal, Friday, January 4th, coming back from break.
As already mentioned, rehearsals will resume this Friday, Jan. 4th. The cast will rehearse downstairs. The orchestra and 'littles' (3 to 7 year olds) will begin rehearsing this Friday as well. Then, beginning this week, we will also be rehearsing each Saturday. This Saturday, we will be rehearsing from noon to 2:00pm, due to the church undecorating in the morning. Please see the Daily Call in your email, sent this evening.
T-shirts are currently on sale to family and friends: 3/$30, 2/$25, or 1/$14.
If you have any questions, you can reach the staff or myself at oneforallmusicaltheater@gmail.com.
I am excited to see you all Friday! Welcome to a new year!
Peace,

Fall, and Moving Forward!
Dear Esther Family,
November days have arrived, with pumpkins continuing to star in their show, garnishing the fields and furniture all around us. Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and "Esther" is moving forward, steadily. I am very grateful for each one of you! I would like to thank you for all of your hard work, commitment, and belief in the show, and in One For All Musical Theater. Thank you! "The show must go on!" as they say.
Moving forward, I'd like to remind you that Village Inn pie sales are due Friday, November 16th. Also, if you are planning to pre-sell show tickets for the drawing at our pizza party, December 14th, please remember the tickets must be purchased, and money turned in, before December 14th (at the Dec. 7th rehearsal). So, if you do not plan to pre-sell any tickets, then you will be expected to pay the minimum $10 fee for this fundraiser before December 14th, if you haven't yet, in order to receive your security deposit back, in January.
Tickets for "Esther" are now on sale online! Go to www.eventbrite.com and search for "Esther" in Omaha on any of the show dates.
T-shirts are in, so pick yours up if you haven't yet.
Be sure to check the web calendar periodically. On Friday, November 9th, we will have a guest speaker come to teach the history of Esther's day.
On Friday, November 30th, everyone needs to come to rehearsal for shoulder pictures to be taken for the playbill, and to turn in bios.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask a staff member or myself. You can reach us at OneForAllMusicalTheater@gmail.com.
I'm excited to see you all at rehearsal!

Summer Meets Fall!
Fall greetings to the Esther family!
As August has swiftly passed us by, and Fall is ushered in by September's beauty, the production of "Esther" was launched with our first rehearsal, and the second one is almost here!
I trust all of you have had a wonderful week, enjoying reading your books for the first time.
I'd like to remind all of you to please check the calendar for updates of special events planned, especially the fundraising events.
I hope your Summer is meeting Fall with the passion of a romantic bliss, as ours most definitely is in Yahweh!
See you Friday evening with books and water bottles!
In His abounding Grace and Peace,
Mrs. Moore

Let the Rehearsals Begin!
As August has swiftly sped by, ushering in the new Fall season, it is time for Esther rehearsals to begin!
Our first rehearsal will be this Friday, September 14th, from 6:30 to 8:00 pm, downstairs in the lower level of Rockbrook United Methodist Church (9855 W. Center Road in Omaha). You will need to enter on the lower west side of the building.
All adults cast will need to bring $18.00 if they want to order a t-shirt and haven't paid for them yet, on the 14th. Otherwise, they will have until Friday, December 14th, to raise, or pay (if they can't attend) a minimum of $10 for each of the 5 required fundraiser events. They will not be reimbursed for anything because they are not required to pay any entrance fee or the reimbursable security deposit.
The students (ages 3 years through high school) will need to pay a non-refundable entrance fee of $50.00, a reimbursable security deposit of $50.00 and $18.00 if they want to order a t-shirt and haven't yet, on the 14th.
Please refer to the events calendar on the One For All Musical Theater website for all scheduled events, times and dates.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me at oneforallmusicaltheater@gmail.com. I'm looking forward to seeing all of you Friday!
