Here are the game summaries:
MMS over Aptos, 2-1
MMS over Watsonville, 2-0

"Ramayana!" 2011 Cast List
Ramayana Casting Reflections
With the Ramayana audition process completing, it is appropriate to acknowledge the challenges of casting both for performers and directors. For some, this will not be a big issue, while others may experience disappointment. The key is finding a way to move forward positively.

Staring at the cast list, you will simply see a character title or group (like Demon Choir, Monkey or Demon) by your name. We may want to quickly categorize our roles as good or bad.
