We’ve also attached the performance order. We don’t have their official routine numbers, but wanted to give you the line-up.

DRESSING ROOMS:  Because of social distancing requirements we are assigning dressing rooms.  Dressing room assignments will be clearly marked when you arrive at the facility.  You will also be able to get dressing room assignment information at retail.
