Here is information for the LVW members and support staff as you prepare for the upcoming rehearsal and performance week.
PACK A BAG LUNCH for Wednesday, June 22. All other meals will be provided by LVW.

Remember, you should pack for FIVE days, but try to utilize small suitcases and duffel bags. We are traveling with school buses for this week, so space will be very limited.
