TITANIC UPDATES

Hello cast,
We have a schedule update for Tue. Feb 14.   We will NOT be scheduling Andrews, Ismay and Captain at 7pm.   We will be scheduling Etches from 7pm-7:25pm instead.

Welcome to Natt Licht who joins our cast as Frederick Fleet, the lookout.

Don't forget your bios are DUE March 15 to Davin.  Email is preferred.   Let me just say (from experience) DON'T WAIT TO THE LAST MINUTE please.   Your producer will be much happier and you can save yourself a lot of hounding.

Video here is a little gem from YouTube showing some historical footage of TITANIC in the outfitting docks at Harland & Wolff Shipyards in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
