carbro Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 I am so happy to see Erica Cornejo cast in Les Sylphides. I'd been hoping to see her get more opportunities. Also, I will be there to see Danny Tidwell in Amazed. Alexandra, are you sure about the 8:00 curtain times? Earlier brochures (and the website) list Tues., Wed., Thurs. and Sun. as 7:30, and Opening Night as 7:00. Link to comment
Alexandra Posted October 1, 2004 Author Share Posted October 1, 2004 (edited) I always post press releases as they come in; I don't retype them, so nothing has been changed. I hope ABT is sure of its curtain times! Editing to add: They've corrected the times. See the post below. Edited October 4, 2004 by Alexandra Link to comment
