Drama Fall Update

Whew! It's been a busy year so far. We started the year with both feet runing. Fall One Acts was a great way to get many, many people invovled with RHS Drama and quickly. We had our biggest turnout to date with 32 students auditioning for parts. Fortunately we were able to cast every single person that auditioned. On September 19th we presented six One-Acts! Due to great advertising, as well as the sheer number of students involved, we had a great turnout and for the first time ever we actuall recovered the cost of the shows! Kudos to a job well done for everyone involved.

We also had a great turnout for this year's musical Once Upon a Mattress. We're busy with rehearsals, singing, dancing and acting and preparing for a fun show. We also have a lot of people involved with crew this year.

Theatre Festival is not until January, but we had to have a committment from everyone attending early. We have 17 students attending this year which means we'll need to take two vans! We havn't had to do that in several years. Festival is going to be a great time!

Boo! Comming up next will be our annual TOTS and Haunted House community services. We'll begin planning and will come together on Saturday, October 31st to go trick-or-treating - instead of collecting candy however, we'll be collecting canned and dried goods to donate to the Norridge Salvation Army's food pantry.

Lots going and on with Drama this year, but we have a lot of student invovlement.

We think it's going to be a great year for Drama!
