Welcome to the company of Anne of Green Gables! We look forward to working with all of you as we put together another fantastic TCP show! Throughout the course of this show we will be using this backstage platform as our primary mode of communication. We encourage you check this site regularly for information regarding rehearsal schedules, important dates, and anything else that may become relevant as we build this show.

Hard to believe that we are 18 days away from opening night!! Getting to this point has been a fun and exciting journey. We all want to make our run as successful as possible and to that end, we need to take care of ourselves and make sure we are healthy both for the sake of ourselves but for our castmates as well. Here are a few tips to help us accomplish this goal:
I am including a recipe for an immune booster tea that Andrea Gumz has forwarded to me.
2-3 Cups Echinacea tea (see image attached)
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp fresh ginger (I grate it with a tester or you can press it in a garlic press)
1 Tbsp maple syrup
A dash of cayenne pepper
Be Well! Nancy
