Shadows Between the Shelves - Week One

First Rehearsal


 The first rehearsal was last night. We walked the route in the library and worked on the prologue which everyone enjoyed. We are looking forward to using the Gypsy Caravan, the two cellars and so much more... After this the cast tried on costumes and I took some pictures. So allow me to introduce you to some of the characters...







Looking forward to a spooky Christmas....
