I'm seeing it. For the second time. On May 31st. With Cassie.
I know more people now who are into the music. If you get a chance to go to Broadway, SEE S.A. It will change your life. Okay, so I lie. But it will change that part of your life that deals with musical theatre.
I would go into the dirty details of the performance...but that's exactly why I cannot. They're dirty.

Behind the Scenes
As production assistant, I get to see a little more behind the scenes action than others might. Most people don't realize that what goes into making a show complete isn't just the cast and the pit, the people the audience sees and hears. There is the crew for the set, the wonderful costume ladies, our lovely patrons, the director and his wife, and the parents of the cast, crew, and pit members.
The SHS crew always goes above and beyond to make our set the absolute best. What can we say to our costume ladies. They put the show into the appropriate time period and to make us all end up looking perfect for stage. Without the patrons, our show wouldn't bring in nearly enough money to help pay off the bill we have from putting the show together. Will and Heather, they do so much to make the show happen and to cast people where they are perfect to be. But still, without the parents of all these people who need to be at endless amounts of practices, parents of the crew members who spend endless hours creating a set and finding props for crazy stunts, and the parents of the pit who can bring them to pit rehearsals, this show would never happen.
So thank you to each of our behind the scenes people. Actors/actresses are great and all, but there would be no chance of a show happening and having order at rehearsals without all of our behind the scenes people! We owe our show to you!

8th Graders...
I was working the stand/booth/place/thing at the 8th grade orientation tonight along with Mrs. Pam, Kelly, and occasionally Laura. We got a few kids interested; many girls, one guy, one crew guy, and a bunch of parents who were much more interested in the topic than the kids were. It wasn't that awesome of a turnout, but one nonetheless.
To everyone who has 8th grade friends: tell them to JOIN THE THEATRE!!! Preferably cast, but crew and pit are also noble areas. I don't know if it's just me who thinks this, but turnout for shows (especially males) has decreased (?). [if someone wants to prove me right/wrong, please tell me]
But tell all of your younger friends to joing the theatre, regardless of whether we have a lot of people trying out or not.
:D

SHS Theatre in the news...
Ok...well, not really "news" per se, but the big article about the upcoming musicals in the county ran this past week in the York Daily Record, and can be found online here: http://ydr.inyork.com/ci_8285885
Besides the awesomeness that is SHS, you may want to check out some other shows in the area. Give it a look!
(and I'd be remiss if I didn't plug William Penn's production of Elton John & Tim Rice's AIDA, since their set designer and ours are the same person! -- and they're letting us borrow a lot of stuff for our show!)
