Just want to begin 2017 by expressing my gratitude for all of you and the phenomenal beginning our theatre program has had! We would not be here without you.
We've got some exciting things going on in the next few weeks. Here's a quick snip:
K and 1 - We will be performing for exhibit night in February and our show will be a multimedia extravaganza! We will be video-taping ourselves acting and each classroom will have their own feature. We will be singing LIVE, so make sure you attend. K and 1 will have separate performance times, so please read your schedule carefully when it comes home. Besides working on this in class, we will be learning about props and their importance to each performance. We will be analyzing a few more selections from Aladdin as we do this.
2 and 3 - We will be discussing the importance of costuming in the theatre and also tackle different jobs in the theatre. I really want the students to see how much there is to offer - from acting to directing, lighting to costuming, there REALLY IS something for everyone!
4 and 5 - We will be taking an overall look at costuming, props, and set design using The Lion King and a few other shows as reference points. We will be using YouTube videos from the American Theatre Wing as well, which are extremely informative and valuable in establishing context for our students. Most importantly, we will be casting our spring performance, Aladdin, on January 26th. We completed an in-class audition process and if your student was selected for the after-school tryout, they received an invitation before the break.
We look forward to more amazing growth this spring semester and can't wait for you to see the amazing things our students do EVERY DAY!
