Tomorrow, Monday, August 8, marks the first day of the TPA school year.
After a week of faculty meetings, I can tell you with a great deal of certainty:
the 2011-2012 school year is going to be a good one!
This September, Mrs. Joslin and I will be offering a (FREE) Audition Workshop on
Thursday evenings (September 1, 8, 15, and 22) from 6:30-8:30 PM. The workshop will offer etiquette tips, what materials you need and how to prepare (for both acting and singing auditions), what to do the day of an audition (and after an audition), opportunities to work on auditioning with prepared material and cold readings. Information will be posted during the first week of school and you can sign up for the workshop through Ms. Pitman.
The Senior Production in December is entitled Comedy Through the Ages and will feature each section performing a play from three different time periods: William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing (Renaissance), The Importance of Being Earnest (Victorian) by Oscar Wilde, and Neil Simon's Barefoot in the Park (1960's). The production will serve as the final for the 12th grade drama class.
In January-February, there will be an after-school workshop open to 8th grade students. Though the focus of the workshop is yet to be determined, the class will run for eight consecutive Tuesdays from 3:00-4:30 PM.
The dates have been slightly altered for the spring musical, Oklahoma! Auditions will begin at the end of January/beginning of February, with the first read-through scheduled for Wednesday, February 22 and regular rehearsals running through April 14. Tech Week begins Monday, April 16 with our opening performance on Thursday evening, April 19 and our final performance on Sunday afternoon, April 22. Detailed information will be provided at the beginning of January.
Looking forward to a terrific school year!
Cheers,
Ms. P
