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....
