Drama Elective Period B, 3/25/2014


 We are delighted to report that this week we blocked the entire presentation!  So far, the kids have done a great job with memorizing their lines, please encourage your student to study the lines before & after theirs so they know when to come in. And if your lines have just been posted, please work hard to memorize them. We only have 2 weeks until the presentation. Sincere apologies for any issues in getting the script out. If you are still unable to view it, please let us know & we will do our best to address it. There should be lines accompanying the Louisiana Purchase heading. Cassia, Charlie, Jonathan, Annika & Ellie are in this section.

  Please ask your student about their roles and have them bring in any costume pieces and props they have for next week. We need to start incorporating them into the show. We have some explorers that need to look "swash-buckling." Some of the students have dual parts as soldiers and settlers. Soldiers don't necessarily need uniforms because they are re-enacting Valley Forge so presenting the "remnants" of a uniform, with or without shoes (ask your student if they need any) would be much appreciated.  That said, if you have something that looks like a colonial uniform that we can borrow, that would be very helpful. As far as settlers go, we will need some packages & bundles to carry to look legit, so any idea that you have that could be brought in would be great.  If you need clarification on any of this, please let us know. Many thanks for your help ahead of time....
