Mark, I made a small edit on your post to change the word 'Tomorrow' to todays date so as not to confuse those I pass the thread link too

   Thanks Kohai!

   I forgot to change it myself when I edited the title heading about 20 mins ago.

   thanks again

We should see some great games. I hope that the sound, lighting, staging and props rise to the level of play. Rehearsal can solve all.

I'm looking forward to the commentary from Danny and David!
