Sept 29 A message from Ellie Morrill, who has directed Actorsingers' presentations at the Nashua Holiday Strolls for several years now:

The first rehearsal of the Nashua Stroll Actorsingers' Chorus will be on Monday, October 4th,@ 7PM at the Hall on Lake Street, to organize, see what voice parts we have and narrow down what we will be singing. I am looking forward to doing some PDQ Bach this year, as well as other seasonal songs - it does get us in the mood sooner!

Since Mondays are the only days I have available on a regular basis, that is the choice - sorry to those who are otherwise committed on Mondays.

Seasons Greetings! hehe

Ellie Morrill
Director, Nashua Stroll Chorus
