Cast parties!

In addition to the Sunday cast party for shirt signing and set strike, we've set up two extra cast parties following Friday and Saturday's evening shows -- completely optional and a fun way for the kids (and us parents!) to get together and celebrate. Both extras are BYOM (bring your own money!)

Friday night -- CULVERS on Neil Street is staying open late to accommodate our crowd. They have delicious ice cream  and french fries!! Head over after the show!

Saturday night -- MONICALS on Mattis Avenue.
Here's the scoop on Monical's on Mattis (right by Schnuck's).  They will be expecting our arrival around 9:15p Saturday night. The cost per person will be $7 for a pizza and salad buffet with sodas.  This amount will cover all the food/drinks/tax/tip  Cash or checks are good.  (checks should be made out to Monicals)  

If people would like to drink beer or order breadsticks or other food, they are on their own.  This will not be included in the above price.  The Monicals staff will be required to get payment from these individuals on their own.  Please be aware that if you do order beer, food also has to be on that ticket. Monical's is not allowed to serve only beer. Lastly, they have a 3 drink maximum per adult.
