This is a reminder - submissions to direct the RPI Players Fall and
Spring shows can be accepted until this friday, April 24th. We
encourage anyone who is interested to send an e-mail to
players at union.rpi.edu.
Also, I wanted to correct a typo in my original message below. Our
planned showdates for Urinetown are on April 23rd, 24th, 25th, 30th and
MAY 1st of 2010, not MARCH. Thank you.
