Theatre week at a Glance 8/29-9/2

Hello,

What a great first week of school last week. I wanted to fill you in on some happenings this week. So get those calendars out!!

Fresh Faces rehearsals will begin this week. If your student was cast in a show they need to attend the mandatory rehearsal today from 2:55-4:30pm. The directors for each show will be giving out a custom rehearsal schedule depending on what show your student is in so stay tuned for that!

Servant of Two Masters Auditions: This Tuesday and Wednesday from 2:45-4:30pm. Students will need to prepare a 1 minute comedic monologue and a lazzi. If you have questions about what your student needs to prepare please click here. Students can be involved in Fresh Faces as well as audition for Servant. They can schedule that with Ms. Cross or Mr. Brock. 

This Saturday we are having our Thespian BBQ at Bear Creek Park 11-2pm. This is a great time to meet our director, booster parents, troupe officers and have some fun! Please feel free to bring your family to the BBQ! We are also having a informational booster meeting. We are always looking for great volunteers for our company. 

If your student is a current member of the company we ask that you sign up to bring food items to the picnic. Please click Here to sign up. We need these items to be completed by Thursday of this week. 

Get Connected: If you aren't please make sure that you have gotten connected on our social media sites. We post a lot of information throughout the week there. 


As always if you have any questions please let us know.

Thanks so much!
