The Boys from Syracuse - A Big Success!

May 3rd, 2009

The musical was a huge success with one of our biggest crowds ever.  Besides some Opening Night excitement in the form of a second act evacuation due to a severe storm, the show went off without a hitch.  Audiences were very responsive.  Thanks to everyone who supported us.

If you have pictures you would like to post or contribute to the archive, please put them on a disk and get them to Mr. Hicks.

The Boys from Syracuse - April 23-25 at 7:00 p.m.

Boys from Syracuse - Work Call Success - 3/28

March 29th, 2009

Once again I am amazed and overwhelmed by all your effort and generosity.  Saturday’s work call was a huge success.  We made enormous progress on costumes, props, and the set.  Thanks to everyone who pitched in.

This coming week we will have full cast rehearsals from 3:30 - 6:30 on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.  I may call a small rehearsal on Wednesday, but it will only be for specific songs or scenes TBA.  Then we have our spring break.

On Sunday, August 12 (Easter), I will be up at the school in the afternoon trying to get a jump on the set construction that we cannot begin until after the break.  I realize this is a holiday, but if there is anyone who would be willing to help, please come by.  I will be there from 1:00 until about 4:00.

Also, we are planning to reorder the show t-shirt, but I need an exact count.  If your student would like a shirt, please send $10.00 cash or check made out to Kell High School by Wednesday of this week.
