Thank you to everyone who has been willing to be a part of this new PM production – we are excited to get things underway!

Piecing together a cast list was not easy – but we have tried to honor your requests, spread roles out, incorporate some light-hearted and serious scenes for balance – and so many other factors!  

With that said, however, if we have you listed for a scene/character that you’re not excited about playing, PLEASE say something now.  We will not be offended.  Likewise, if we have not included a scene that you were really looking forward to doing, we might consider adding a few more, if we can. 

This document is still a bit of a “work in progress” until we hear back from everyone.    Please email Mrs. Mintzer with this information:

1. I accept the role(s) I have been given.

OR

2. I do not wish to play the role(s) listed here (and then be specific)

We will contact individuals about scheduling rehearsal time for your scenes ASAP!

If you don’t have your tickets yet – do not delay! Here’s a short promo video to give you a sneak peek! Online tickets: https://pennmanor.seatyourself.biz
