On Monday, March 9, 2009, TimeLine’s Company members, Board of Directors and staff joined the cast and production team of The History Boys for what is always one of the most exciting moments of any production — the first rehearsal. It’s a TimeLine tradition to make sure that the entire family of folks who are part of bringing a play to our stage are represented at its launch. Now through this blog and the slideshow below, we are able to invite you to join us and meet the team as well!
