NO EXITS

The Cast of Much Ado About Nothing is meeting at the Peaslee Theatre later afternoon on the first day. Hugh will thank everyone who shows up, if anyone doesn't show up because of Cupcake Shenanigans it's okay (or at least he'll say it is), and his plan is to give out the rehearsal schedule, and do a read through of the entire play so that everyone who doesn't know it will be able to read it.

Of course, the best laid plans, and all that. Everyone will get through the rehearsal details (Day two and four will be Acts 1 & 3; while Day three and five will be Acts 2 & 4, and Day six will be Act 5 only, all afternoons since it's not like anyone is working here, exactly), and they'll get through aproximately Act three before night falls, and the cast will find themselves with a smaller, more adorable than usual, but equally friendly director.

That's right, Hugh ate the cupcake, but he thought it was fine, but now he's a Golden Retriever Puppy - around six months or so - and he will go around the room and he will want to nip at all of your fingers, but he's a good boy and knows his sit and his stay and can be easily distracted by fetching things.

STEPHEN steps in as assistant director and decides if they're going to continue the reading or not.

ELIOT sees that Hugh gets somewhere he can't get into too much puppy trouble for the night.
