Our Mysterious plays netted 175.50!

Great job to both teams!! It honestly was a very very close call! You’re both winners as you both had excellent scripts and acting! It’s all about raising money in a fun way and we achieved that.

Good job Troupe! We raised $250.00!

Please pick up your state packet from Ms. Rzepecki!

Exciting news! We had 7 Superior ratings at Districts!

Calder & Sexton, Duet Musical, Honorable Mention

Henry & Leppert, Duet Musical

Victoria Sexton, Solo Musical

Rachel Wilson, Solo Musical

Cassandra Schwartz, Solo Musical

Blaznik & Co., Large Group Musical, Critic’s Choice!

Henry & Co., Small Group Musical, Critic’s Choice and DISTRICT SHOWCASE CHOICE!

We are allowed to take 5 events to State in Tampa. However, no student is allowed to participate in more than 3 events total. (That eliminates one of Victoria Sexton’s pieces…sorry solo musical!) So that leaves 6 Superior’s to choose from. OR DOES IT?!?!

“Each district was to select one Individual Event to be showcased at the Florida State Thespian Festival. These events will be adjudicated at this time and will NOT be performed again in another time slot. THIS DOES NOT COUNT AS ONE OF YOUR FIVE PERFORMANCE SLOTS.”

So buh-bye Small Group Musical. That leaves 5 Superiors! My job was easy this year! CONGRATULATIONS TO THE FOLLOWING who will perform at the Florida State Thespian Conference:

Calder & Sexton, Duet Musical

Henry & Leppert, Duet Musical

Rachel Wilson, Solo Musical

Cassandra Schwartz, Solo Musical

Blaznik & Co., Large Group Musical

Henry & Co., Small Group Musical

*This year, due to budgetary concerns, unless you are in one of the events competing, you will be able to attend, however; you will be responsible for 100% of the cost of registration and hotel. ALSO, those that ARE selected to go to State and perform will be required to participate in a MINIMUM of 4 fundraising events (i.e., Christmas parade, 24 Hour Play, Flower pen sales, IMPROV Shows (in Jan. you won’t have to perform, but I need ticket sellers, concessions, etc.) etc. or you TOO will be responsible for 100% of costs to attend.

Thank you for a great turnout! 50 terrific actors that we have to narrow down to a bakers dozen plus a couple of voices.

If your name is listed, please try to memorize the linked monologue as much as possible. The callbacks will be at the FHS auditorium at 4:15. Please plan on staying for the full 2 hours.

We, your directors, wanted to give you a list of things to help you succeed for the callbacks.

1.You are men and women of the 1950s. Take a moment to look at what they wore and how they acted. Key figures at this time were Elizabeth Taylor, Doris Day, Elvis, James Dean, Frank Sinatra, Harry Truman, Martin Luther King Jr., etc.
2.Be aware of your environment. The play is set in a hot Chicago summer in the 1950s. Believe it or not, Midwest summers are hotter than Florida summers. The courthouse isn’t air conditioned. Plus you have been on a jury for a week. You have better places to be (the theatre, sick kid, etc.) It starts off with one person keeping you from freedom and after several hours people are changing their mind.

3.Movement is a big issue. You have a window, door, and water cooler. Do not be afraid to move out of your seat and explore the room, especially the downstage area. Think of big movements. Think of small hand gestures. If you choose to be angry, what movements (other than just smacking the table) can you use?
4.Follow your gut and make choices. “Act before you think!”
