ATTENTION THEATRE ORG!

Tomorrow during Free Period Clay Thompson will be hosting the very first Peer Workshop! This will be a chance for you to learn from a peer, something that our good friend Joe Wilson Jr. encouraged us all to do when he visited. This first workshop will be on Shakespeare, where Clay will share knowledge he's learned from numerous classes and workshops, including workshops with The Royal Shakespeare Company and The Globe Theatre. This workshop is intended for beginners so even if you've never even read Shakespeare before you should come. You do not need to have any pieces prepared before hand

ALSO!! The auditions for Shakespeare in the courtyard are next week after theater org. Prepared Shakespeare monologues are preferred but there will be sides available

Theatre Org. Meeting

Hello all! THE THEATRE ORG MEETING SCHEDULED FOR TOMORROW IS CANCELLED.

Reminder

Hello all ~

Last night during callbacks, some items were stolen (though thankfully recovered later) from the lounge. We just want to remind everyone that "the lounge" is really a public hallway. Please do not leave personal belongings unattended there, leave valuables in the dressing rooms, etc...  at any time.

Thanks!

PLAY WRITTING

Play Writing will be hosted this Wednesday in the Little Theater during Free Period.

If you need a place to help you concentrate on your writing, workshop your material, have a piece read aloud, or try to learn how to get started this is a great opportunity for all of those.

Clay took a class on Play Writing with Casey last semester and has a textbook filled with short exercises to help teach you some fundamentals. This isn't a class in any way, just a place and time to provide you with what you think will work best for you!

ALSO DON'T FORGET- if you are interested in directing in Shakespeare in the Courtyard, please speak to Clay Thompson.

There are a number of guests who are theater arts practitioners coming to talk, teach, and share their knowledge. Joe is the first. 

So. Don’t miss out! Spread the word! Come in costume, or come as you are. Joe is an incredibly successful artist and we are super lucky to have him come to talk with us. Plus—now is your chance to find out what Denzel is like behind the scenes...
