Back to School!

Hey everyone! This is Kate, your 2010-2011 theatre president. It's hard to believe that it's already the last day of summer vacation! Hopefully everyone had an amazing summer- and hopefully, you're as excited as I am for Hillcrest's 2010-2011 theatre season. I have a feeling it's going to be a great year, and there are many different ways to be a part of the theatre department. In fact, these first two upcoming weeks of school are jam-packed with opportunities to get involved and have tons of fun!

Shakespeare Team auditions are this Wednesday, August 25th! (SCROLL DOWN FOR MORE INFO ON SHAKESPEARE TEAM AUDITIONS.) The Shakespeare Competition is one of the most fun things you can do all year, and auditions are open to anyone! A sign up sheet will be on the theatre room door starting tomorrow morning. If you're having trouble picking a monologue, or need help with the one you picked, come to the theatre room during lunch on Tuesday or Wednesday. Presidency members will be there during both lunches, and we'd be happy to answer any questions you have, help you choose a monologue, or give you some tips on acting Shakespeare and auditioning!

Auditions for this year's big musical, Cinderella, are next Monday, August 30th! These auditions are also open to anyone in the school. All you need is a song! If you would like to be considered for a lead role, come with 16 bars of a song from a Broadway musical prepared (classic 1950s-1960s style is recommended!). Feel free to ask any member of the theatre presidency or productions company if you need help finding an audition piece.

On Friday, August 27th, there will be a PARTY at the park across the street from Hillcrest! There will be food, games, music, and more. Plus, it's a great opportunity to get to know other theatre students- and get help with your musical audition. Hope to see everybody there!

So, I hope everyone is excited for a fantastic year! I can't wait!

Love,
Kate
