 The Senior Company rocked the house with an outstanding performance. They took on the demands of a premiere performance and shined! The success of line retention, blocking, character development were very good. The vocal performance of every soloist was excellent. All other singer were also very good. Mr. Steve and Miss Vic are very proud. Thanks to Mr. Tom, Ms. Bridget, Ms. Kristi, Ms. Esther (Vic's mom), Mr. Sam (Alessa's dad), and all others who helped make this a great show. Thanks to the cast for honoring the cast get together at Beefs. All but a few seniors and many families celebrated the victory in classic theater style. Now we prepare for Broadway!

Thanks Mary Washburn for rehearsing with Jacob and Doug, and Thanks Tom for getting the set changed. on Sunday.

Preps... The set is up and we are ready for formal rehearsals this week... thanks to Mr. Tom.

Prep list of things to do this week:

1. Respect your fellow cast members and honor your commitment to the program, and don't not miss a class.

2. Have all costume parts: white shirt, black pants (not jeans), belt if appropriate, black socks for all, and black shoes (not sneakers or other casual footwear), in the theater bynTuesday. Thank you to Jacob and Doug who appear in the photo with Mary who had their complete costume well in advance.

3. Have makeup kit fully stocked and in the theater by Tuesday. Monday would be best to be safe.

4. Study your lines every day! They will not stay with you even if you knew them unless you keep refreshing your memory of them. Please do not skip a day. A few minutes each day rather than all at once.

5. Lets have a SELL OUT. Don't expect people to just come. Invite your teachers, friends, people where you work and worship, your grandparents, uncles and aunts. Don't fail to be well represented by many familiar faces... brothers and sisters too!

Be sure to email back to the theater so that we know that you have checked this web page!  curtaincallpat@verizon.net

No-one is to stress over their lines. If you have been studying on a regular basis, you will do just fine. The premiere performance of "Singers Showcase" was a great hit. That show is set.
