          9.21 The Wall 2.0:                                                              9.29: Off Book:

          Huzzah! We finally decided what
          to paint on the wall...a big                            of being off book (or having to
                                                                        have your lines memorized),

          costumes, sound, lights, and all

          feel how real this is.  It’s                           select few are excused from this
          happening!                                                due to specific circumstances,

                                                               Nothing like a First Friday to give
