Upcoming Theatre Events

Stay tuned for upcoming events...


THE THEATRE NEEDS YOU!
If you couldn't make it on the 3rd or 4th due to AP study sessions/whatever, and still want to help out (yes, we still need some help with a few organizational / clean up projects), arrange some time to stop by and help -- if you'd like to make the trip to the cities with us. Right now it looks like 10 or 12 of us will drive down for a fun theatre experience... expenses paid.
** See Albrecht if you have any questions or want to join us!

THIS SPRING: See some of our BHS theatre students and friends (Pat and Matt and Cody Olson) in the CLC one-acts this coming Wednesday May 10

Cheer on Ginny and Brendan in the Tri on May 13

Tara's recital is either May 16 or May 18th in the CHOIR room sometime around 7:00 or something. She wants us to show up and support her. so do it.

May 19 or 20th -- CAST PARTY II @ ???'s house

NEXT YEAR: looking for applications to join the BHS Drama Production team. Tell Alb if you'd like a position, what area you'd like to offer your input/talents in, and why you think it'd be a good idea. Easiest way to do this? Put it on a sheet of paper... Perks included... see Alb for details.

This summer -- this isn't so much about performance as much as it is a chance to hang out and play theatrically. How about summer play time? See the note sent out -- thinking one day a week, a chance to play theatre in the park -- Kiwanis on Tuesday or Thursdays around 10:00? if it rains, we'll meet in the Little Theatre.

The ultimate existential question

Derbs is suffering from a lack of existential questions.
So here we go... the ultimate existential question:

To be, or not to be... that is the question:
whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer
the slings and arrows of outragious fortune
or to take arms in a sea of troubles
and by opposing end them.

So folks if we're not talking about Hamlet's ultimate end (and being), which is the nobler end?

JC Superstar tickets dates and times

JC Superstar tickets Updated updated (again)
*** No tix available for this coming Sunday

OK, Here's the plan...

We have a block of seats for the show Friday, May 5, @7:00 at the Chalberg Theatre @ CLC. Cost = free

YOU MUST SIGN UP FOR TICKETS IN ADVANCE

Sign up sheet is in A100 (Alb's room). 1 ticket per person, and please sign up no later than next Tuesday (May 2) @ 3:00 for Friday's show. Tickets are available for all drama freaks. Since the CLC box office is quite busy, I've put in a request for 25 tickets. We may not be able to offer more than that, so it's first come, first served!

To be a drama freak, you need to have helped out/performed in any capacity (tech, acting, box office, whatever) for at least one of this year's shows:

  • Street Scene
  • Tairy Fales
  • This Music Crept By Me (our one act)
  • Aristophanes Birds
  • Albrecht's World Drama class

We'll consider it a reunion of sorts, a chance to get together and go see someone else's show. For those of you with AP tests, plan ahead, get your work done, and let this be your study break! Of course, as a courtesy to CLC, please don't sign up if you don't intend to come (that's really embarassing)! I'll be there early on Friday May 5 to hand out your tickets.

***************************************************************

Hey, I know some of you guys have AP tests coming up, but Patrick Spradlin has offered us complimentary tickets to come see the CLC production of JC Superstar. I think they're staging it more as an opera than a musical. Patrick says it is more abstract, so I'm interested to see what he does concept-wise.

I have to be out of town on Saturday April 29 for a state-wide director's conference at Perpich, but could possibly make the Sunday show...
what do you guys think? Ideally we should all go on one day -- to make it easy on the box office and I think he prefers we all go in a group. Plus, it'd be a reunion of sors. Would you be able to take an evening off of studying to see the show?

Most days are still open except May 6, which is the closing night.
