Next Year

Next year's play will officially be The Wonderful Wizard of Oz!

We decided to go with another well known story to help us continue to draw in an audience. Next year will  be slightly different from a logistical standpoint.

Due to our anticipated overwhelming number of students interested, we are thinking about doing a short One-Act play (that has yet to be determined) to help get more people involved. This is all contingent on the numbers of people that come out for auditions

There will be ample opportunities for folks to help behind the scenes as well as we are planning on officially creating a Publicity Crew, Lighting/Tech Crew, Costume Crew, Stage Crew and Stage Design Crew.

Our last play brought in much more money than we expected and we are currently in the paperwork stages of spending that money on new wireless headset mics! These will not be the end-all-be-all of our sound production however. We still have two great sets of mics that pick many of you up.

We hope that everyone is still as excited about this past year's production and hope that this excitement carries over into next year.

Be on the lookout at the beginning of the year for information surrounding the audition process. The Facebook and Blog will still be our major source of communication as well as schedule changes.

Thanks again to everybody for their hard work and continued enthusiasm!! Have a great remainder of the year

End Scene

Great job folks!!!! We pulled a lot of money from the past three nights!!! Very impressive numbers! not sure on exactly how much we actually "made" on this year's show, but a big thanks goes out to MS Student Council for donating ALL of our candy for the event!! Great to have organizations willing to help out when they can:)

A few notes:
Monday is a clean up day. If you can make it, please do.

While SEVERAL of you stuck around to help clean up, there were a few of you that did not. Things like this do not go unnoticed and play a big role in future casting sessions....Just sayin'....Big thanks to those that did do as they were asked

Recordings were made. My goal is to make a DVD of all three nights performances (as long as they are OK). Provided everything works out well, I will have these DVD's available to "purchase" by donation. Them minimum amount would be $1 to offset the cost of the disc, all other money would go directly to the Drama Department.

If you have any pics, please put them onto a CD for me so I can create discs of pictures for everyone to have. Memories like this are great to have from many perspectives. Just get them to me on a CD format please:)

Stay tuned to the sites for upcoming announcements about next year's events. As we know, we are going to attempt a musical in March (You're a Good Man Charlie Brown). The play portion of drama may be slightly, (read SLIGHTY) different from the past two years. Keep your ears open and your eyes.....uhhh....open for details.

Again, great job!!!!!!!

Twitter and more

For next year, I am toying with the idea of using Twitter as a means of mass communication for the Drama Program. With Twitter, you would need to subscribe to Triad_Drama and link your phone to receive updates via text. This will allow us to communicate with you whenever we need to make a change to rehearsal due to weather, announce reminders for upcoming Drama events, or just get out various information. Let me know your thoughts about this. Obviously, only members of the play/musical would need to sign-up next year. I think this would be the best way to get any messages out without you needing to utilize the website/Facebook all the time. Thoughts?

And then there was 1...........At this time next weekend, we will be rolling along in the first performance!!! Great work so far! Keep looking at those lines though! I know we are all tired but the hard work we are going to need next week willhelp make everything so worth it! Great jobs to everybody! A big thank you to our new crew members and Stage Manager for making the movement of set around on stage seem seamless! Chad and Andrew for doing Lights and Sound control! All of the cast for taking on their characters and really making it their own! We are almost there!!!

A Letter from Our Superintendent

Mr. Stanforth and myself thought it would be appropriate to share this letter from the superintendent with all of you.

"Paul and Orrin,

I am so thrilled that you guys are working with the students that enjoy drama. It is a great opportunity for many of them and is a big part of making our district become a "District of Excellence with Distinction."

My wife and I look forward to the production.

Mr. Meredith"

T-shirts will be made on Tuesday, during/after dress rehearsal. Please remember to bring $5 for your shirt. Mrs. Cardoza from the MS will be helping out with this process much like last year. $5 covers the cost of the shirt, we purchased them all today :)

Please remember, if the schedule says practice goes til 4:30, practice goes til 4:30 (with the exception of people requesting to extend today). Unless you make prior arrangements, you are expected to be at practices during the times posted. Even though you may not have lines to do, blocking is still a very important element of what we do. Please be certain that you are at practices for the times listed on the calendar.

 

Very Important Upcoming Information!

Please read carefully as this affects everybody!

Due to unavoidable circumstances, Monday's First Dress Rehearsal is moved to Tuesday at the same time. Please make note of this change and make arrangements. Rehearsals next week are required so please make sure you are able to be there.

Tomorrow and Friday, we will need everybody during the first part of practice to get into their costumes. This will allow S and W to determine what all still needs to be acquired for the costumes. WE WILL NOT BE IN MAKE-UP ON THESE DAYS, ONLY COSTUMES!
